Hello Barkerq,
I can imagine how you feel if someone would find out about your orientation with dogs or animals.
But i can assure youre not sick the love for zoo has been always withing history of humanity there was always people from all cultures who had sexual relations with dogs or other animals.
Especially for farmer woman who had to deal with animals there was always an kink to touch the horses or pigs/dogs when they been in heat.
I hope you wont feel awful anymore - virtual hug ?

I share your feeling. Its hard to overcome the guilt/self hatred. But i think its important to remember while you live in a community, the community lives within you as well. There's lots of folks here who have overcome those negative feelings and are living as happy as they can now, and it can happen to you as well. its not worth worrying about the "what-if's" of this situation, you cannot change things the way they are. Its a hard lesson to learn, and i struggle as well. You can pull thru!

A lot of folks on here started out feeling the same way you do. It gets easier once you accept yourself and realize that it can't be wrong if no harm is being done. Remember that you truly love your companions as much as they love you.

You aren't.
But Ok, suppose someone called you mentally sick. Been there and it's hard. Some might get it if you pointed out that there are lots of "sicknesses" which are not considered bad - phobias, etc. Dyslexia is an ailment, and nobody calls dyslexics bad. So even if you can't convince them that it isn't a sickness, they still have no reason to think it is bad.
If they still do, they are dumbasses and their opinions on it aren't worth worrying about.

Thanks for your response, all of you. Maybe the reason is that i have no exposure to people who are like me, and who can support me. And that makes me feel that what i am doing is wrong, and no other person does that

no matter what you are far from the only one with these kinds of feelings, i know they try to make it out like something that only an insane person does but all throughout history people have had sex with animals and it's not about to change any time soon.

animals are not children, they're more than capable of expressing sexual feelings like any other, so all the moral justifications for zoo hate are just a bunch of flimsy excuses for what otherwise just amounts to hating someone because they're different and "gross" — the same childish impulse that motivates all prejudice from racism to homophobia. and to be blunt, a lot of the haters are probably just in the closet anyone who grew up on a farm has probably had a zoo-y thought cross their mind at some point.

and we humans feel for animals as we would for humans and it's only natural that some of those feelings would be sexual or romantic and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
