Is Equinophilia Immoral? Illegal? Shameful?

9/26/2014

11 Comments

 
Dear Papabear,

I having been having dreams lately really arousing dreams. Each dream seems to have one word at the end like a puzzle. I asked a hypnotist about a *ahem* penis enlargement mp3 file she posted on YouTube and ever since I've been listening to it, every time I see a horse I get aroused. I look at their penises and my penis becomes erect within seconds whereas around humans it takes a few minutes to get an erection. It's like my penis was trying to connect with theirs. I love horse penises, with a passion. I even had a dream where a horse was having anal sex with me.

Now I love all animals, but I'm afraid that if I am attracted to horse/animals sexually everyone will think I need to be sent to jail or an insane asylum.

Is this wrong? Should I feel ashamed?

Thanks for your time, 

Buster

Dear Buster,

Among zoosexuals (zoophiles), the most common types of attraction are either for dogs or horses. Equinophilia is not uncommon, and is a result of a couple of factors, including physical attractions (many find the horse’s rump quite erotic, and, of course, there’s the large penis on stallions), and also emotional (after dogs and cats, perhaps the most important bond between humans and other species is that with the horse, which has been a valuable companion to mankind for centuries).

The first thing of note about sex with horses is that, while a male such as you mounting one from behind isn’t dangerous (except, possibly, for sanitary reasons, so wear a condom), being on the receiving end of a horse’s penis can literally be lethal. Some people, therefore, limit themselves to stroking the horse’s member and enjoying the rather abundant ejaculations.

So is it, as you say, wrong to enjoy sex with a horse? Should you feel ashamed? As with anything else about sex, it is a matter of perspective. Some of my readers might note that, in a famous page from history, Catherine the Great of Russia set up a contraption that allowed her to be under a horse and receive its penis in style and (relative) comfort. No one put her in prison because, well, she was in charge, wasn’t she? In modern America, sex with a horse is actually illegal. Interestingly, the law was put on the books only after a man died in 2005 from a torn colon.

People who are advocates and apologists for zoophilia assert that zoosexuals most of the time actually have romantic, kind feelings for animals; that the other animals often enjoy the experience; that sex with animals is not abusive; and that zoophiles would never deliberately hurt another animal. As with anything, there are exceptions, but, for the most part, it is not a destructive relationship.

Is zoophilia a mental illness? Well, that would be like saying that homosexuality is a mental illness, which some people do, in fact, claim. I would say merely that it is a deviation from the norm. In terms of Mother Nature, it is not “normal” because it will not produce offspring, but you and I and many other people know that sexuality is not just about procreation. It is also about emotional and mental well-being. If you find comfort and happiness in sex with a horse and your actions are not hurting you or the horse, then I would go with the Wiccan view and say you’re okay. 

However, it would not be unwise to seek out the advice of a sex counselor to explore why you feel the way you do. Not to necessarily “reform” you, but just so that you can gain a better understanding of your feelings and what is going on inside your head. You said that a hypnotist turned you on to the idea of penis enlargement, which somehow led you to horse penises. Why were you talking to a hypnotist in the first place? I was a little confused as to what came first: the hypnotherapy or the equinophilia.

The final factor of which you should be aware, of course, is the social implications of what you are doing. Knowing that the majority of people will disapprove of your actions will make life tough for you when it comes to sex—even harder, I dare say, than it is for LGBT people. So, exercise caution and discretion. And, it’s always a good idea to seek out others like yourself so that you have sympathetic ears. 

There is an organization called ZETA: Zoophiles Engagement für Toleranz und Aufklärung (don’t worry, their site has an English version) that would be an excellent source for you. Please check it out to learn more.

Hugs,

Papabear

It's a good thing you are mainly open about Zoosexual Papabear. I been looking at some debating and the most evidence thing I've ever seen about consent was the theory that there is consent. After that: Whenever I see people go against that theory, I don't seem them arguing further or even why sometimes. (I think).

The only thing though is that I prefer the term "Zoosexual" rather than "Zoophilia". And not use any odd man-made terms as if those type were "not a style" (Somehow special) of orientation.

_________
Zoosexual is also a natural thing in another way, and considering the fact that there was a guy who reported a picture of "inter species sex" in some argument about a "natural argument" of it.

Papabear is mostly right about the law (Not illegal in a little amount of US states). So like him, I also suggest being very careful.

Yeah, I mainly learned some of this from a blog post by some person off wordpress somewhere I think. It was a huge post.

Good comments Papa Bear. I have been a zoo sexual all of my life....from as early as I can remember I have been sexually attracted to horses. I fell in love with my mare who is now deceased....I have never until that time of age 40 been so emotionally and sexually fulfilled. With her death....I felt like I lost a wife. I realize that this is a sexual orientation, just like being Gay. You can’t change how we are wired. It sickens me that it is legal to kill an animal and sell its parts to the public... but if you make them feel good sexually...the you are jailed because of abuse....the consent issue does not apply....does the cow or pig consent to being killed....or horse consent to being harnessed for work.
I can kiss a mare I have never seen.. and get arroused....and she will turn around and want to be stroked under her tail....she can sense and smell my pheromones....that is consent.....it can be embarrassing at the fair....I can’t turn off my desire....the horses go nuts...happens to me time and again. Your not alone.....my story is like so many out there.
Thanks papa bear for understanding us.

I would be careful how you attempt to justify the physical act of bestiality (zoophilia and paraphilia are merely the attraction to the non-human, bestiality is the actual act of sexually interacting with the animal.)
Too often individual who have a compulsion for sexual contact with any of the types of paraphilia vociferously defend the actions. Problem is, a horse is not a human. We aren't even the same type of animal. Horses are "prey" animals and you must work with them to ensure they do not view things as simple as an empty plastic bag as something that will eat it. Humans are predators.
Also, although you can manually stimulate (in a sexual way) a horse (mare or stallion) because they are NOT human, they aren't interested in you. Will never be interested in you in that way. Instincts push them to reproduce. They are rewarded by their biological systems for reproducing. Horses also are animals that go into heat. They do not and cannot become impregnated at all times. Therefore, often times you may THINK you are stimulating the animal but they are not even in heat so other than the fact you are there, they are most likely best case scenario, not concerned you exist.
Humans can and always do anamorphize non-humans. Or, we give them human characteristics. As I said, they are NOT human and although we can understand them to some degree as they can us, they are not human. Nothing they do is human nature just as nothing a human does is equine nature.
The animal is NOT in love with you and not in a relationship with you. Instead the physical relationship is entirely one-sided and a level of arrogance on the human's part.
The horse cannot consent. Although it may positively respond to the sexual stimuli, often times a pubescent child will positively react when they are being sexually molested. But it is incorrect in saying the child is not being molested and abused. To that extent, the horse too is being sexually molested by the individual. To attempt to justify it because a horse does not have the cognitive functioning to be permanently scarred? It's just the perpetrator projecting their wants/desires/needs onto the horse and attempting to validate it by whatever means they are possible. Read stories written by convicted pedophiles, the justification is very similar. Similar because both cases are sexual abuse. .
I am open to all types of lifestyles and attractions, but I want to be clear, to have any type of sex with a horse (male or female) is sexually molesting and to some degree abusing the animal.
Yes so is killing them for meat or forcing them to ride around with you on their back. Just don't attempt to pretend that you are NOT abusing the animal.

Please do not compare homosexuality or ANY valid sexuality for that matter to zoophilia. We are not your scapegoats for you disgusting fetish. Sexuality is level of attraction to certain genders, and animals are not a gender. Additionally, homosexuality is between two consenting partners, while in “zoosexuality” (which don’t call it that, call it for what it is. A philia.), you cannot give or recieve consent to animals because they do NOT understand what human consent is. No matter how hard you try to push it there is not and never WILL be scientific proof that animals can give consent. And to compare OUR centuries of struggle and oppression to YOUR “struggles” about not being able to legally fuck a horse to make your argument seem better? Zoophilia is not and will not be a valid sexuality. Good day.

I do criticize his response, but he isn't a zoophile. He never even said he was. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I don't get what stance he was trying to take and his response could've been so much better but don't assume he is a zoophile. I can understand why it may seem like that to you, but from what I can tell (and from talking to him), he isn't and he is just taking a strange centrist approach to the topic. Papabear, I love you, but I sometime feel that you are very tone deaf on these things.

Like, I understand you don't want to make the writer feel unloved or hated, but you shouldn't be afraid to take a stance on something and tell them why you take that stance in a calm way. I would've given them a source for psychiatric help, not a website for zoophiles (lol?)

No hate at all, I am just saying that I think you should reflect on this.

Hello, Furiend. Totally fine that you are not comfortable with my response and have your own views on this subject. It is a very controversial subject. My response is based on the fact that, when writing to someone on such topics, if you take too aggressive a stance against what they are expressing, you will end up just chasing them away, and that is never helpful. I try to remain as neutral as possible on anything that is not patently against the law, dangerous, or harmful. On all other issue, my focus is to meet someone halfway, try to understand where they are coming from, educate them, and then let them continue on their own from there. Thank you for your valuable input!
