I think that's a vey fair and reasonable comparison that most people will understand. :-) I still think though it slightly divides the fandom into two, yiffs and not yiffs. I know that's a more socially acceptable way of presenting it to people, but furs who like sexually charged media form an important part of the fandom not just a sideline. There'aren't just a 'few' of us. Our interest is as legitimate as a non sexual interest, and I feel that the true diversity of the fandom is being 'sugar coated'. Regardless of that, if I wanted to explain to scifi fan about furries I'd probably make use of what you've written.
