Incidentally, my brother once sent me, for reasons best known to himself, a how-to guide on seducing a dolphin.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've heard stories that, in the swim with the dolphins features at water parks and such, there have been problems with male dolphins, shall we say, putting the moves on the human swimmers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh good lord -- I just had a flashback of a story I've read about that, and the resulting child.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I go grey for 12 hours and I come back to seducing dolphins? This is why I can't have a job that keeps me off the interwebs.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Consent before shifting...I dunno, depends on worldview. Sometimes, the human self or soul and the animal self are clearly two separate entities, and in some 'verses, they are not.
I think, even if the human part gave consent, if the animal part was frightening or unwilling, it would be...rape. I dunno. Rapiality? Beastirape? Hmmm.
But if the animal part were participatory, then it would be consensual, if fuzzy, sex.
Huh. I'm just going to say it's safer, all the way around, to avoid sex altogether with shifted shapeshifters.
Other non-human sentient creatures, well, I guess let you tentacled, disembodied, multilegged, slimy, dry, rocklike, whatever freak flag fly.
And now I have to dogsit. And feel vaguely guilty.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Yay Kathy!

Yep, the first thing I think of with dolphins is dolphin humping human stories. Seriously. So weird.
I'm going, I swear...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Didn't Alyson Hannigan say she wanted to do a dolphin? Or am I just making random stuff up?

Because books.
I just had a flashback of a story I've read about that, and the resulting child.
Wait, what?

But not Furry.
