[Zooeyboy]

My 16 year old brother came out to me as a zoo, I don't know what to do or say and I don't know what to tell him

 

[Zooeyboy]

He's looking for your support. Don't fuck it up.

I'm a zoo too so I support him Im just looking for advice so I don't fuck it up

 

[Zooeyboy]

[Zooeyboy]

I mean, with you being a zoo, he has the best support he can find... offer him that

Alright thanks

The best thing to do is to show him kindness is important to any individual as well as animals.

The right way to develop bonds rests in your hands here

Alright thank you, I'm not really experienced when it comes to being a zoo in the first place, like I'm newer to it all, so thank you

 

[Zoolover789]

Like what was said. Support him and keep his secret. I wish I had someone to tell when I was 15 that I was a zoo lover

If you need any kind words/ suggestions I'm open here. My advice is listen to your partner that individual will tell you what they want exactly

Sit down with him and just listen to him. Be supportive and maybe he'll feel comfortable to open up more to you.
Be there for each other.

What do you mean by zoo, watching porn or loving animals?

Sometimes people discover themselves they are into something but don't understand it

The question basically wants to find out whether he is a zoophile meaning he wants to have an animal partner, or if he is into humans but likes watching weird porn. In the case of the latter, the support you need is how to use TOR and get over a little bit of feeling weird and you are more or less fine. The first option has a bit more life changing consequences.

I think the best thing you could do for him is to just be supportive, but also let him know that a lot of people don’t understand it so it should be kept to himself unless he fully trusts someone enough. I would also maybe talk to him about the importance of keeping himself safe and being discreet.

For myself I was never really that tech savvy so I sometimes forgot to clear my history and such and parents had found those kinds of sites in the computer or GF had stumbled across some images on my computer and had to explain them away.

All right, thank you

And how to understand and avoid abusive material.

"Research" you mean lol

 

[Knotsalot87]

Yea I guess putting it simply just looking into how to be discreet an protect himself.

Let him know that you support him and just be there when he needs someone to talk to. He is family after all.

He has placed an immense amount of trust telling you this. As long as you are supportive, he's gonna be fine.
