In a nutshell, yiff art is [[Furry Comic]] porn.
[[Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics|About 99%]] is produced by the [[Furry Fandom]], who invented the word [[Captain Obvious|(which makes sense)]]. [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/WikiFur_Furry_Central WikiFur] seems pretty confident that some furry fan named Foxen invented the word, as part of a language called [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Foxish Foxish.]
Foxish was an [[Con Lang|entire made-up language]] consisting of a grand total of nine words used for fantasy role-playing foxes. Yiff had the original meaning of [[Newspeak|doubleplusgood]], apparently. The word comes from the [[Written Sound Effect|onomatopoetic rendering of the sound that a happy fox makes]]<ref> Which leads one to wonder if these people have actually heard the sort of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk1mAd77Hr4&feature=related noises that come out of a real fox]</ref>. The word became a [[Flanderization|catch-all for sex acts in the furry fandom]] somewhere along the line, though it also became a classification of artwork used to specifically refer to any artwork of both an [[Animal Tropes|anthropomorphic]] and adult nature.
Of course, yiff has [[Media Watchdogs|its critics]]. For a lot of people, yiff skews [[Squick|just a bit too close to]] [[But You Screw One Goat!|bestiality]] due to the animal-like characters pictured. This can be countered by the observation that the characters are anthropomorphic, or human-like, adult animals, which implies that [[Interspecies Romance|consent can be given]]. Plus the fact that most furry characters are essentially human from the neck down (including all the... relevant parts... Most of the time). It should also be noted that while cartoon porn is considered a fetish known as ''schediaphilia'', there is currently no distinction between [[Hentai|more common cartoon porn fare]] and yiff art within fetish classifications.
It is also unfair to say the Furry Fandom has produced all yiff; poor [[Mickey Mouse]] has starred in pornographic Tijuana Bibles, along with other [[Funny Animal]] characters, making this [[Older Than They Think|older than you might think]].
