My older brother confessed to me that he was zoo. I come from a conservative Christian family. Being raised with religious values, whatever the religion, flies out the window when a boy’s hormones are bouncing off the walls. LOL. He did say that he stopped zoo activities though, because he felt shame and guilt about it.
Side note: when I was in NYC I went to the Library for Human Sexuality to read material on Zoophilia. When there I found a book that was likely written in the 1970’s. It had different zoos telling their stories of how they started, and their journey as zoos. One story stuck with me: it was a guy who was raised on a pig farm, and had been having sex with sows all his life. I loved this story because he was so candid and direct, and gave details about sex with his sows. He also told about how a young preacher at a local church stopped by and asked for a part time job helping on the pig farm. He gave him a job and, after several conversations about raising, caring for, and breeding the pigs, the conversations started to go in a different direction. LOL. The preacher wanted very much to fuck sows, and they both ended up being sow fuck buddies. These were both very religious men.
I myself let go of religion. I love all of my animals, sexually and non sexually, as well as all nature and wildlife.
