Attraction to Anthros Not the Same As Zoophilia

5/9/2016

Hi

So here is my question 

I have been in the fandom for 5 yrs now and I am currently with a relationship who doesn't understand my fascination with it and I did explain it to him (he was very understanding) however when we got to the NSFW side. He kinda hit me with a block in the road and here it is.

Does being aroused by the anthropomorphic characters in erotic situation count as Zoophilia?. As I am and he is in no way attracted to animals in any way or connection but this had stumbled me as although they are in humanoid bodies and 99% percent of the time with human "junk" as well as sentient and is supposed to be considered humanoid in setting, they also have animalistic facial and physical characteristic so it left me wondering does it or does it not count as such since I have had other thoughts about it with similar beings like Minotaurs or Argonians. So in a nutshell , Is being aroused to erotic anthropomorphic/furry pictures considered a sign of/or Zoophilia?

It would be most helpful to pls lend us your expertise to help settle a question and help bring a couple closer together. Thank you in advance 
(Here is an example of what I am talking about: Note it is the Man like and a print from Blacksad to help yuo understand my question:

Dear Cricket,
 
No, being a furry and being sexually aroused, even a little, by anthro characters is not the same as being a zoophile. Zoophilia is sexual attraction to actual animals, especially in the sense of actually have sex with them. Only a tiny percentage or fraction of a percent of furries would describe themselves as being into zoophilia.
 
There are many reasons for the attraction to anthros, which I will be discussing in detail in my upcoming book. It’s important to note that the sexuality of such pictures as you shared has to do with a significant amount of human characteristics. Furries are, basically, humans with animal features, and that’s not the same as animals by any stretch of the mind.
 
Hope that makes you feel better.
 
Furry Hugs,
Papabear

Zoophila people, are people. Anthro's people, are people. The church, who is not lead by Jesus, the rock, wants people to not treat people, as people. The church wants God's naked image, to treat God's naked image, badly, looking for every excuse, to treat that image, badly.
