Instinct is powerful even in humans, and programming probably infodumps on them when genitals appear and their own is tingling.
(Rant about me using breeds of different kinds and programming of many builds by separate teams and contradictions in programming when builds mix and natural selection and age/experience changing how they react to programming and so on)
If a Mare asks for or a Stallion offers Special Huggies I’d say what is being inferred is they’re referring to foreplay, expectation of mutual pleasure, afterglow cuddles, and being there in the morning. They couldn’t explain it if you asked them to list off, in order, what they want to happen. But if her mate just gets behind her and immediately starts prodding at her folds or nuts and falls asleep she’s going to know she didn’t get Special Huggies.
Enfies is “I’m ready to cum right now”. Generally only used by males I would think since it should take more for a female than forty seconds of open-mouthed rutting, unless pregnancy is the sole goal.
“Want to spend the night at my place?”
“Wanna head to the bathroom stall?”
Bad Special Huggies to me implies that a Fluffy’s primary instinct is to make love rather than rut. A baby with no desire does not usually scream “Nu want bad enfies”. Their instinctual understanding of sex is consensual mutual lovemaking, the bad modifier indicating the lack of consent. Enfies is the clarification that it will not be mutual, and the dominant male will be the only one pleasured. A baby should’t know the difference between lovemaking and rutting any more than a virgin Fluffy, though I would think the programming would pipe in and give them the understanding that SHs will involve time and physical closeness while Enf will be short and aggressive.
I would also imagine the programming dumping knowledge on them before physical readiness to understand it on a deep level would lead to a lifetime of anxiety of physical contact if they were molested, and a clingy desire for it if not (such as babies seeing their aunt and the Smarty getting it on).
Speaking of which: while finding a special friend is a high priority for many fluffies, can they separate having a special friend from sex or having babies in your writing or art?
Yes. If they choose to. I wanted to parallel Prussian and Mitzy in this way.
I’m going to get into it later, but Prussian accepted pregnancy because of the needs of the herd. Not out of desire to be pregnant. She likes caring for them because she likes being wanted/admired, but didn’t need it.
Mitzy on the other hand would be happy with a taxidermied one. She wants babies, not children. She’d steal them to avoid the pain of childbirth. She feels no attachment to them as individuals. She’d be a perfect Nurse for Chirpies and young Talkies so long as another Fluffy was a teacher.
But as a Feral she will continue to have litters, then get rid of them when she doesn’t want them anymore.
Could a sterile fluffy have a special friend?
So long as pregnancy was not the goal. Being barren or shooting blanks shouldn’t lower sex drive, and if pregnancy is not the reason for mating then there should be no rejection.
That said, it probably is better for Ferals where herd numbers is not usually a problem than for dumbass Domestics raised as animals.
Or an asexual/low sex drive* fluffy have a special friend but not sex?
Asexual romantic? Totally. Especially for widowers needing a companion to help them raise Foals.
Is there a term for a non-sexual special friend? Just bestest friend?
I imagine it would still be Special Friend. Maybe split between Huggie Special Friend and Special Huggie Friend? Would make for good comedy dialogue.
Would a special friend get jealous?
Given its Fluffies I imagine they would form polys easily. Just have a small herd thats one giant relationship.
