A fetish involving stuffed animals or dressing up in furry animal costumes.
It's dressing up and pretending to be a humanoid animal. The pretending to be part is where it gets weird not just looks weird. The fetish aspect seems highly sensationalized. Most furries I've been around seem more into the getting to play a character. I mean there is a good amount of fetish in that scene, but it's not the central point for most. And for most of them the sex aspect is more just as simple as people in a scene always hook up with other people in that scene. They don't say it's a fetish when two punk rockers hook up.

Some are driven by wanting what they can't have, but the want is driven down by availability.
Totally. I personally know about this, because the day I turned 21 my drinking slowed way down. It wasn't like I didn't still enjoy it, but two things changed. One I got to chose when I did it not just having to wait for the right opportunity (which was almost always there, but you still didn't know when it would not be), and the other is it suddenly lost that charm of breaking the rules.
Which reminds me of one of the few times I stole anything. It was winter break and couldn't find any of my friends that where 21 or even friendly strangers. So no booze. Walking around town past a restaurant with outdoor seating. They had a little outdoor metal liquor cart someone forgot to lock. So I grabbed four partially used bottles with those red plastic pour spouts. Of course I justified it (I was 16 at the time), by saying well someone younger and less experienced with alcohol could have had a bad time with that much booze.

Tobacco shops will quickly become the Porn shops of the 80’s? Tinted glass storefront, or walk through some beaded door to a small verboten room at the back of a grocer?
Leave the store wearing a trench coat with your stash hidden underneath.?
*When I was in college, I’d walk past several adult book shops on my way to campus. Was always curious what lay inside, but too modest to ever go in.

Back when I was a kid, most my friends' parents owned "stationary". We had first dib on all the adult mags.

There was an “adult book store” near where I worked. In a big industrial area. I felt gross just driving by, couldn’t imagine going in there. (*It just oozed dirtiness, and not of the moral kind, just in general, it looked like a Forest Preserve outhouse.)
