Clop survey

[Bendy 1,819]

I think clopping goes under Xenophilia, since the MLP FIM Ponies are sapient beings just like us Humans.

 

And yes, I'm a Clopper. 

 

Also multiverse means the MLP FIM Ponies clop to us Humans too.

I'm actually really surprised, and a little worried, that I'm in the minority right now (doesn't Clop).

 

Survey results reveal that of the 58% of people who have ever clopped, that 54% are repeat offenders but only 40% of them consider themselves to being cloppers haha. I know that's not exactly how the numbers work but I find that pretty funny. I'm not against it but I don't really understand it, there are better things out there to draw your sword at.

I'm flattered/disturbed that Rarity is among the favorites ponies to clop to, I'm willing to guess that more than liking her, the "art" of her that it's around is incredibly erotic

Clopping is my least favorite part of the MLP culture. It's gross. They are horses. In reality, they would look like actual horses. Think about it. If you want to watch and hear horses breeding, look it up on YouTube. Being intimate with horses is beastiality and I cannot express enough how much this is just.. Sad. I'm sorry but I really don't like this

 

Grabbing these quotes from my blog:

 

"The most common complaint I've personally heard on the issue is when people compare 'Clop' porn to bestiality. Can we really claim that they are the same thing? Characters from MLP quite obviously resemble earthly equines, but is it really all that similar?

 

 

Personally, I don't think so. Unlike real world horses, the ponies of Equestria are sapient beings. They are capable of reason and problem solving, as well as having morality. They have personalities, are capable of communication through language, and even have a full society capable of sustaining itself. Bestiality by it's definition is sexual interaction with an animal, but can something capable of human level intelligence truly be called an animal? I don't think so, and I think it is quite arrogant of us as humans to think otherwise. Calling anything capable of real intelligence an animal is basically dismissing them as inferior, and that is ignorant. Yes, I realize I am talking about cartoon characters, but my argument still holds up in that respect. My point is, Clopping is not the same as Bestiality. I have yet to meet a Clopper who wants to run out into a field and screw a horse.

 

Now, time to address the 'unnatural' part. Is it unnatural to pleasure yourself to a cartoon? While it is no doubt an out of the ordinary fetish, it's not all that unnatural.

 

To quote from the book 'How the Mind Works' by Steven Pinker;

 

"Another part of the sexual male mind is the ability to be easily aroused by a possible sex partner; Indeed the faintest hint at a possible sex partner. Zoologists have found that males of many species will court an enormous range of objects having a vague resemblance of the female; Other males, even females of the wrong species. The Human male is aroused by the sight of a nude woman, not only in the flesh but in movies, photographs, drawings, post cards or dolls. He takes pleasure in this mistaken identity."

 

By the way, for those of you who don't know, Steven Pinker is a professor of psychology and the director of the center for Cognitive neuroscience at the Massachusetts institute of technology. The guy knows what he's talking about.

 

 

His words basically debunk the notion of 'Clop' (Or even cartoon porn in general) being unnatural. Personality may also feed my point. Most of the characters on MLP are females capable of rational thinking. They have their own personalities, and some may find themselves attracted to these particular personalities. I do not believe attraction to MLP characters to be purely a physical attraction. People who are attracted to these characters see elements of humanity in them; elements of humanity that they happen to find appealing.

 

 

In this regard, I find it insultingly offensive for people to judge others for clopping. Human beings simply cannot choose who/what they are attracted to. It is hardwired into our biological coding. Shunning people for being attracted to 'Clop' material in my eyes is no different from Shunning gays.

Outcasting others for what they cannot control is idiotic, and frankly barbaric."

 

 

Try and be a little more tolerant in the future.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,627]

Answers. Yes,Yes,and Yes

 

But,not to the really explicit pictures.

 

I find those to be gross.

It's not that I'm not tolerant. It's just an opinion. Sometimes people think it's just others not being tolerant. No, it's just an opinion about the MLP culture. That's all, lol I'm so glad you guys are so open to others thoughts.

[Scootaloodle 1,621]

I wouldn't consider myself a clopper, but I will admit that I've had the occasional clop in the past, although I ticked yes when I meant no on the last one I think.

 

I'm fine if anyone is into clops, I have two friends on Skype into that. But for me the hoofs, coats and tails started turning me off, because I started to think some of those things might be like a real horse. Not that I thought of it that way when I had my occasional clop, but when I did start to imagine they might be like horses it just made me feel a bit grossed out

Clopping doesn't do it for me. I have never clopped over any clop pictures, especially the ones I draw (I am guilty ).

Clopping over your own drawings seems wrong, its like clopping over your own child.

I treat my drawings as if they were my children... that's until I end up having children. 

[Sapphire Quill 1,186]

Have I Clopped? Yes.

More than once? Yes.

Do you Consider yourself a clopper? Ehh, that's a bit of a Mixed Feeling there, Occasionally, Not all the time, But sometimes, it seems a bit wrong at times, but I still do it, I wouldn't normally put it out there, But Oh well, I'm a Teenage Guy, What would you expect really?

[OceanSapphire 227]

Answered yes to all 3. Yes I am a clopper I cannot deny that, but I know that here I'm surrounded by mature and thoughtful people who will love and respect me anyway. How many other fandoms can say they possess such levels of acceptance?

[Mars Caramel 319]

Have I ever clopped? Yes. At first, I was just seeing just how MLP r34 is probably more popular than any other r34, but I got carried away.

 

More than once? Yes, but mostly to the same images.

 

Do I consider myself a clopper? No. My personal definition of a clopper is someone who doesn't feel like there's something wrong with them for masturbating to MLP. Don't get me wrong, I'm somewhat fine if people clop, but I don't want to be considered a clopper. I don't even do it often, and even when I do, it's always to the same images.

Answered for three "No", was astonished by numbers. Really. I can't say that I hate cloppers or something like that, but I just cant undestand how that really work, and really surprised to be in minority.

I usually love Shortpacked, but sometimes I think Willis does some real clunkers.

Also, gotta love that judgmental fanbase.

[qqq 217]

Have you clopped: Nope

More than once: Nope

Would you call yourself a clopper: Nope

 

Whilst I have read a hell of a load of Clopfic, I don't actually Clop.

 

 

Although some of the Clopfic I have read was very... arousing

And don't get me started on Hoofbeat

 

 

[RockinRarity 1,605]

OK, want to address those who responded to my emotionally charged post I made yesterday.

 

Yes, there is porn for women out there. But honestly, the VAST majority of pornography is for men. Denying that is naive. Heck, how many women on here are posting that they clop to ponies? Why is it that the smut with Big Macintosh and Shining Armor isn't out there with the rest of the art? When I go on Tumblr to do a MLP search, there is porn everywhere. But only of the female characters. If clop art exists for Big Mac, you probably have to seek it out.

 

I really do wonder how many female bronies clop. That would be an interesting statistic to find out.

 

Anyways, women sexually objectifying men is just as wrong as men sexually objectifying women. But let's be honest here, which do you think happens far more often, and has happened more often for an extremely long time? Not saying that it can't happen to men, and it is wrong when it does happen, and women doing it to men does not make things any better. But the point still stands.

 

When I said that pornography makes you in control of your sexual turn-ons and therefore makes you unable to love a real woman quite as much, I did mean that in a subconscious level. Of course people don't just start acting like jerks when they fap to inflated boobs, at least not on purpose. But pornography does raise unreasonable expectations on women, because pornographic women are in no way realistic. Not entirely sure what that means when you have been clopping to ponies, since ponies are probably far enough from reality that you know that you can't actually expect a real woman to be purple. But I wonder if your libido knows that. Evolution is slow, you know. My point is, for those of you who do want to get married, start a family, and try not to become a divorce statistic - do you think that clopping to ponies before making love to your wife would be problematic? I ask because real pornography has the power to destroy families. I know of a man who started looking at pornography, and several months down the road he became addicted and cheated on his wife. They got divorced. This doesn't happen to everyone who watches porn, but stuff like that does happen.

 

I ask about Lauren Faust not because I think that she is always right, but because she is a feminist, and I am uncertain about how she feels about her characters who are supposed to be loved for their personalities and their friendships, being simply another thing that turns you on. I mean it isn't all bad to be sexually attracted to ponies, I will admit that. At least part of that is natural to the extent that it is natural to be attracted to what is beautiful. And the ponies are pretty dang beautiful. But for them to be stripped down to being a sexual object is what is bothersome to me, and using the characters for your own desires. They are fictitious, so it isn't about hurting them. But I wonder if that would accustom someone to get used to using people rather that appreciating them.

 

As for sexual tension and releasing it? There are other ways to release sexual tension. Exercise is a good, healthy one that doesn't objectify anyone. And people who don't have sexual partners don't need to fap. Know how many Catholic priests there are in the world? They don't have wives, and they're not supposed to look at porn or do anything with their sexuality either. Don't bring up the pedophilia scandals - those were a small percentage of priests. Most priests do not do stuff like that. Unmarried Christians have ways to avoid masturbation. It is hard, but not impossible.

 

I think that that was all that I wanted to address. I don't mean to start a flame war. But I really wanted to get an opinion out there that didn't keep saying, "I don't have a problem with it!" Because I do have a problem with it. I don't actively hate cloppers, in fact I will probably forget about all of you who said yes and treat you like everyone else on these forums. Treating cloppers worse than non-cloppers is stupid. You are all people and we have different opinions and life experiences. That doesn't make anyone better or worse than another.

[PonyEcho 1,610]

Yes

Yes 

and Yes tho I don't see the point because if not for this single topic were I'm admitting that I clop, and the odd time were I'm discussing it with other cloppers (very very rarely), I would never rely use the word clopper on myself else were because its a very tiny thing in comparison to another private thing I've been.

See, this I don't have a problem with. Yes, it is a bigger problem for females than males, I'm not going to deny that- it was simply the tone you took in your original post that cheesed me off(cue someone else bringing up the "tone argument"). I agree with quite a bit of this post, too.

[Freewave 1,145]

It's a shame to have a survey and have so FEW good questions on here as we could have found out a LOT of good info and stats about our community. Having "do ya do it?", isn't really anything that's helpful.

I am sorry about the tone in my first post, by the way. Really not sure what I was thinking when I finished typing it. I guess I didn't want my opinion to be overlooked. I feel like that happens whenever I give my opinion on clopping. Doesn't make it right to start a potential flame war though. Everyone in this thread was very good about not bashing me to death despite the tone in my first post, and for that I am grateful.

[The Man 11]

Yes

Yes

No.

 

I jerk off to some pony butt as much as I do for anything that turns me on. There is no reason to be specifically attracted to cartoon horses, or worse: make a huge deal of it.

 

Redlight Ponyville is a damn fine example.

Tonight it got taken down by a certain group, who succeeded in infiltrating that sick lump of crap, take some very spagettiy screencaps and throw the admin in a corner, faced with shutting the site down or getting his personal information published and spread.

 

Do I clop? Yes. Often.

 

Am I a clopper? No way

[Apocalyptic_Unicorn 240]

Yes, yes and yes. 
i wish the middle one was a no because the three yes' made my OCD kick in...

I'd also like to say that while I do clop regularly, actively seek out R34 and fanfics, and am attracted to these animated ponies in general, I don't really approve of underage R34 (CMC etc), and I can't stand humanized ponies.

[WildCard 1,037]

No, I don't really find clop pics very hot to be honest. I've browsed through some of them but like 98% were looking odd/weird. 
Some of these "saucy" pics(not explicit but close) and fics are pretty darn hot though, but I've only once clopped to something mlp related.

[xxcoolbreezexx 11]

I voted yes to the first two and no to the last. Mainly because if you do anything a lot it gets boring so I only do it once in a while.

[Jamie 302]

Im completely fine with people who clop. Its not like its hurting anyone so whats the big deal? I admit I've had some experiences with clopping material but that doesn't make me a clopper. But i can see how it will appeal to some people though.
