Does anyone irl know that you’re into this lifestyle?

[WalkingStarFish]

I haven't really thought about the punishment honestly. I mean, it's not something I don't have to think about but ist not a huge deal either. For me the bigger issue was being an outcast in society.

If I'm living the life I want to live, the life that fills me with wonderlust and soul, then being an outcast means nothing to me. I learned a long time ago to live without caring what anybody thought, as long as it doesn't land me in a cell. I do what makes me happy and gives me purpose. I am a character from a storybook, something that nobody understands. We only got this one life, so I'm gonna live it the way I want to.

my parents know but don't bring it up, my sister is my biggest supporter though nobody knows i'm pro-contact.

also i wouldn't call it a lifestyle, it's a sexuality, a part of my life, not all of it.

Tons of threads on this topic. Just because you feel it and there is this community here, don't think it is something widespread accepted. Being too open or thinking it is like "coming out" or something you expect people should "accept you" for has ruined lives and even put people in legal trouble.

Be happy you have shared with friends who have kept it quiet. I'd leave it at that unless you have some damn good reason to believe whoever you do tell is a zoo first.

My private life is private for many reasons

Hello, guys!

General question: Does you relatives, close ones know about your fetish? Just a part? What have you told them and how did they react?

I am currently married to my spouse and I love them so much and they do not know about my zoo life. I believe there is never a good time to tell them. Anyone else live like this? How do you cope? Are you ever worried that they will find out and what their reaction would be? Tell me I’m not alone

Hey, I did told my girlfriend and she was super cool about it. We watched videos together and she kinda like it, but i think she is in that stage where she still is a bit ashamed. However she is cool about me beeing into zoo.
If my experience in open up with my partner does mean anything, I think firstly you should try to understand how does your spouse feel about fetishes and stuff. Me and my girlfriend always talked a lot about sex, so that helped when I told her.
And yes, I was drunk when i told her

Yep! A few of my very good friends know, and a local fur who spotted the fuck outta me- and rightfully so! I'm a little scared, b/c I'm a pretty active furry in the community and don't wanna get dragged to pieces but I only tell folks who are zoos themselves. I'm yet to tell my husband, or my boyfriend- but hopefully someday I can come out about it. I love animals, I really do, and these feelings have always been a part of me. They know I'm a therian- so hopefully this isn't too much of a jump for them

My fiance knows as it was all his idea for me to do it, however none of my friends or family know.

I really struggle to cope with this aspect of it all. I wouldnt tell your spouse xx

And how did he gave you the idea?
My girlfriend watched some videos with me and I could tell that she was really into it. She even told me after watching some videos how excited she felt.
However she got a bit cold feet from watching some videos because she had some valid concerns about how the dogs might be treated by who produces those videos. Another thing she told me is that even though she felt excited and understand that a lot of woman feel the same way, she was unsure about how some of those videos ended up online, like if the women did because she wanted or because she was trying to please someone.
I say all of this to ask you if you had any similar concerns and if so, how did you adressed then

So, my entire family knows, but they hope I'm inactive. My mom, caught me with the family dog when I was 16 and I was sure I was dead if not going to jail. She then told the whole family. My uncle, my grandparents, my stepdad, my dad, my stepmom. They think I stopped. In truth I just got better at timing and hiding.

My best friend knows, but I think he doesn't think I'm serious.

My boyfriend's best friend knows, he finds it hot but only because we had a sexual attraction to each other and he likes the idea of me naked. (I'm polyamorous, just to clarify I wasn't cheating on my man with his friend)

And I always come out to my boyfriends/girlfriends if I get a good vibe from them. My boyfriend knows and is a... We'll say "retired" zoo.

Aside from that, no, it's not information I share willy-nilly. I'm VERY selective of who knows.

So sorry for that! Must have been though

 

[Lust_and_Loyalty]

Yes, one of my sisters knows I’m into this.

What did she say about it?

 

[Meg97]

Yes, three people irl know about my fantasies and experience. But they are VERY faithfull people. Also one person was little suspicious about my lifestyle but my secret luckily has not been revealed

 

[loverofdog66]

The women that I have lived with for 25 year's has known about it. Now she's interested in the idea of a male dog to fuck her. I'm so lucky.
