A '''furvert''', a [[Wikipedia:portmanteau|portmanteau]] of the words [[fur]] and [[Wikipedia:Pervert|pervert]], is a [[Furspeech]] term for someone who is sexually aroused by erotic [[furry art]]work, stories, or similar media.
+
 
+
The term was coined in the earliest days of [[furry fandom]].  Nowadays, the term is often used with humorous or ironic intent by [[furries]] themselves, but has much more negative connotations outside of the fandom.
+
 
+
== History ==
+
 
+
The earliest known regular usage of the term was in reference to the first open-membership furry [[amateur press association]] magazine, ''[[FurVersion]]'', which first published in May of 1987. 
+
 
+
[[Karl Maurer]], the magazine's publisher, is credited with starting the ongoing practice of using puns involving the word "fur" to indicate Furry activities (e.g., a comic called ''[[Furrlough]]'', a convention called [[ConFurence]], and so on.)
+
 
+
== Alternate definition ==
+
 
+
The [[Furry Dictionary]] lists furvert as "One who enjoys furry erotica", a defintion provided by [[Barry Gold]] in October 2000.<ref name="dictionary">[http://www.cloudchasershaconage.furtopia.org/furrydef.txt Furry Dictionary] maintained by [[Cloudchaser Shaconage]].
