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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh good lord -- I just had a flashback of a story I've read about that, and the resulting child.
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.
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.
Timelies all!
Yay Kathy!
Yay Gud!
Yep, the first thing I think of with dolphins is dolphin humping human stories. Seriously. So weird.
I'm going, I swear...
Didn't Alyson Hannigan say she wanted to do a dolphin? Or am I just making random stuff up?

Wait, what?
But if the animal part were participatory, then it would be consensual, if fuzzy, sex.
But not Furry.
What if they gave you consent before they shifted into their non-sentient form?
IIRC, you still warn for the big B when you post the fic.
Look, it's possible that it was a thing a few weeks ago in my main reading fandom, okay?
