CLOPFICS
While it may seem that clopfics are simply perverted fantasies of equally perverted individuals, there is truly another side of the story.
Yes, there is the group of individuals who are genuinely turned on by stories of ponies making fillies.
However, one must realize that ultimately it is not the ponies loving each other that is sought after, it is the characters. In the exact same way that connections develop between an individual and the personalities of the show, their characterization leads one to naturally develop affinities and preferences towards individual characters.
We care about them, and it is not their physical form we are attracted to, it is their personalities. Thus, sexual fantasies involving the characters develop and are translated into clopfics.
While RULE 34 MLP images seem to disprove this analysis, the fact still remains that the source of the attraction is not the physical forms themselves, but rather the character they represent. Of course, it is vital to note that this very emotional attachment to the characters can have the reverse effect, as the clopfics and artwork can destroy the innocence which holds the emotional connection together.
