i do not wish to offend anyone with this post. do any of you feel... ashamed of who you are?

[ggdk]

Nah, never did feel ashamed. Afraid for being found out, yeah, in spades, but never ashamed.

Now, I have missus by my side, and we're in a good space. My folks kinda came to terms that they won't see grandkids from me (and even if they don't know it, it's not for the lack of us trying).

Never felt dirty, just in love.

And, for what it's worth, there are plenty of people who feel just as ashamed about human-with-human sex, so you *really* can't win on this one! As far a species go, we're pretty messed up.

Edit: FWIW2: I keep my private life just that: private. I have never had the need to tell anyone what happened last night in the paddock. Just like normal people don't harp on about how they got it on with their wives last night, neither do I feel the need to brag about it.

to be honest, at points, yeah. after i first got mounted i felt so dirty i couldn't even bring myself to masturbate for like... days after. as time went on though it set in that i wasn't hurting my lover or myself and nobody else suffered in any way, so i kinda just asked myself "am i really doing something wrong here???" and i decided the answer was "no."

that's what kinda led me to finally feeling at peace with my sexuality

Some religions forbid sex with animals because it was supposed to produce monsters. They also condemn wanking. Not only you don't hurt your dog but you take care of his sexual pulsions after giving him a home and food ! You're just a model master.

Absolutely not at all.

The cynical part in me would say that as far as people go, they need to be "scared straight" by something unimaginable but visual nonetheles. Esoteric discourse about why that's "bad" has a the same effect as yelling in the howling wind.

Religions rest upon the ability of the "crowd" to replicate itself and pass the religion onto the younger generation. Should you chose to get it on with members outside your species, not only you're setting a "bad example" to others, you're also not helping with the propagation.

At home I don't, but at work I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others and at those times I feel like a freak. For all I know those people could be zoos too but for some reason I assume everyone else around me lives normal boring lives at home.

You're perfect exactly as you are.

No, and I will not. My parents raised me to be ashamed of being alive, among other things and I will never afford another negative thought about myself as a person. I know I am good and have never been deliberately harmful to others. Whether zoo or not, I am not evil or wrong for being me.
