I've been out to my family and friends for a long time. When I was a teenager my little brother walked in on me and my older brothers dog he tried to blackmail me to my parents I let him for about a week then told my parents myself. This revelation to my parents was taken poorly it resulted in short psychological hospitalizations boarding schools and at one time outed to the police. This was my life through adolescents I went on voluntary probation for a year as a way to escape possible incarceration were I was ordered to see a certain psychotherapist he was a specialist of some kind and under terms of my probation all matters of interacting with dogs was up to him. He gave me many psychological test which was followed by polygraphs even a
Penile plethysmography (very uncomfortable). I learned a lot about myself during this time of hardship. I am zoo exclusive the Penile plethysmography showed that I was not aroused to my own species I was only aroused to dogs. This was very surprising to the psychotherapist he gave ended up allowing me to continue to volunteer at my local animal shelter then told probation that I was not harming my animals that I was not a risk to children and they should let me off probation. I had to keep my dog living with me a secret during this time I told him that my dog was staying with a friend and that I seen her often and was honest about everything that we did together other than her living at my residence. In fear that probation would find out and take her away from me. I eventually had to be honest about her living with me if I wanted to pass the polygraphs. This was a very fearful and uncertain time in my life. One thing I was certain about was I loved my girl more than life itself, and still do to this day. I was eventually let off probation my probation officer was not happy about it she Said according to the person that I was seeing that there was no treatment that would not cause more harm than good. So the prosecuting attorney had decided to not charge you you are free to go. (She also added that if I were to be caught in the act again in the future then they may press charges.) So my lover and best friend was not taken from me. I went on with my life now my girl is 12 years this month and I prey for a few more years before I have to endure the pain that is to come when she is taken by old age.
So now you have a some history on me
This day in age I am open to those I feel I have gotten to know and know me as a person. Most of my friends couldn't care either way most don't like to discuss it which I respect my parents have come leaps and bounds were they have accepted it as a part of who I am. Life has had its peaks and valleys I was unable to afford rent after the rent prices in my area trippled due to outof state folks buying all the homes and either turning them in to Airbnbs or jacking the rent so high that it is unaffordable to most locals so I am back living with my parents on their property until I attain my degree and get a job that I can make a living wage
There was a time that friends I had over for parties actually found out about me by the way my dog attempted to present herself to me in a clearly sexual manner.
So after all I have endured I would not change it for the world I have my girl by my side I am pursuing my dreams and am overall pretty happy.
