If you already jack off to furry porn then you're at the same level as 50% of furries. Furries are just fans of the creatures we call furries. Appreciation for the concept is the definition of a furry, though furries-in-denial will deny it. You just need to accept that you are one of those fans and call yourself one.
Others like furries for nonsexual reasons. They like furries because they're more expressive and variable than humans. If you like them for that reason then same deal.
If you want to take it a step further and get involved in THE COMMUNITY then just come up with a furry character to represent yourself, like an avatar. You like shortstacks? Make 'em short. You like bimbos smuggling soccer balls? You can tailor one to your minute nuances.
But that being said, if you want one piece of real advice, to keep you from devolving into one of those 400 lb manchildren who wind up in frilly skirts, let it be this:
Let your fursona inspire you. Let them represent the idealized version of who you want to be, or who you deserve to have if they're your waifu. If you create a muscle jock then maybe have the decency to hit the gym and lift a few weights yourself. If you create a beautiful, intelligent, down-to-earth 10/10 woman then try to be the kind of guy she'd actually associate with. Let them be the change you want to see in the world. Let their expressionism become your own. Do not allow yourself to live through your fursona. Do not allow them to become a replacement for reality. Do not start calling yourself some kind of twinkle-toes princess while your greasy lardass watches Yuri On Ice from under a mound of cheetos.Tasteful escapism yes, self-delusion no. The latter is why you see so many AIDSkrillex moprags claiming more genders than they have toes. The latter is what makes the furry community such utter whiny SJW-infested garbage, and why normalfags (rightfully) despise it.
