I generally draw my characters with similar-looking genitalia, with the main difference being size and/or coloration. I've always drawn the male and female parts on my characters as fairly humanoid, as that is one of the unifying factors of their ancestry. For example, there had to be SOME sort of outside influence to make them more evolved than their four-legged brethren, right? Other similarities include the general form (bipedal, upright), four digits on each hand and foot, eyes that are either located in the front of the head or halfway between the sides and front, etc.. The lack of knowledge about this possible common ancestor is what led to the creation of their religious beliefs. They didn't know, so they created an explanation!
Personally, I find animal junk pretty nasty, though I don't go out of my way to look at it. I've always figured every species in our own world has their own unique design for a purpose; to be compatible with others of the same species. But in Skunkworks/Caterwaul, there are numerous species who can intermingle because their equipment is pretty much all the same. Dissimilar breeds cannot produce offspring or hybrids, so that allows couples who aren't the same, and who do not want kids, to be able to screw each other's socks off without worrying about birth control or any unwanted "surprises".

There are a few lags and so on in the forum topics, and while that might be due to RL getting in peoples' way of their pursuit of all things good and furry, I figure I'd also shake things up! Besides I really like talking to all of you and getting your input in the how's and why's! Especially as everyone has been so totally cool and nice and willing to share their opinions and thoughts! Again, thanks for letting me in to play!

Plus I've found that this preference for one type of organ is normally associated with the character either being sheathed or exposed.

Hygiene is the primary concern, and, sorry for being a little graphic here, but the thought of going down on Rover's-slimy-red-rocket just doesn't quite get me all happy and revved up, though coitus wouldn't be as difficult.

I know that Jay Naylor, a good artist in his own right, even if he does focus more on the genitalia than limbs, has done a number of illustrations with both, though lately it seems as if he is geared more towards male equipment based on the mundane animal his characters are based on.

Possibly lack of external stimulation points (i.e. the clitoris) with sexual gratification being more of an internal aspect that would follow more of a procreation angle over recreation, though on the other side we have witnessed that the more advanced the animal in question by way of intelligence, the more likely the engagement of sexual activity for the sheer pleasure. Think porpoises and the like.
