Well... it is a wig, but do turn heads once in a while.

I don't mind characters to have defined sexuality - it is only natural that adult characters do - but it gets tiresome seeing "characters" and situations that could as well have been humans with animal heads, tails and fur painted on.
For a fandom that has so much adult content and where the whole premise is that there are multiple intelligent species, the anthro community has always been quite poor at elaborating on how the sexuality of the characters functions in such settings. Which species can or cannot interbreed, and do hybrids exist? Are characters from species with seasonal mating patterns sexually inert the rest of the year, or just infertile? How does mechanical contraception work for species where males have barbs and the likes? Are ferrets and otters naturally violent and find biting and gnawing romantic? Are hyenas utterly out there anatomically? Do seasonally harem-keeping species still function in industrial societies, or have they been forced to adapt? And - perhaps more on the comical side - there can be so many questions about dogs and toys.

I don't necessarily like to see it - personally I "turn the camera and put on music" on the rare occasion my characters actually get to the act - but it just sad to see opportunity go to waste.
Maybe it is a self-perpetuating cycle: A lot of artists in the anthro community who would want to explore those themes don't, since one does not want to risk "contamination" from the less serious part.

I have tried doing my part writing a story about a couple who are struggling against infertility, and their being different subspecies and biologically out of sync is a major plot point. But it goes uphill.
