If animals are banned from heaven because they are assumed to be without soul, would you still want to go to that version of heaven, or would it be more of a hell for you?What if you christian can I still go to haven
I feel youA little... yes. I’m feeling a bit guilty every time I log on here.
good insights. Ive come to conclude as long as all parties are consenting and enjoying it, as long as no harm is done to any person or animal, theres nothing wrong with being into zoo. at the end of the day, your life, its about you accepting yourself fully, not condemning a part of yourself. morally, Christians may have qualms with zoo, condemning it as sinful lust. which may be, as almost all people have both dark and light in them, and we give in to temptation. but is there anything wrong or evil with enjoying pleasure with your pets, our friends in life? no. accept yourself with all your quirks and kinks. dont let societal stigma (society in general is insane) shame you.Here's a couple quotes from Brene Brown, a fairly well known psychologist that researches shame...
"Shame is a focus on self, guilt is a focus on behavior. Shame is “I am bad.” Guilt is “I did something bad.”
"Shame lives in the distance between your secret self and your public self".
I feel, to my core, that my actions are not harmful or hurtful. Those actions are enthusiastically consented upon by both parties, and enjoyed by both of us. I do not feel guilt, as my actions have not caused harm, they've brought positive experiences and emotions to myself and my animal partner.
I do feel shame, and I don't think that's a personal flaw or problem I can solve. It's a natural product of having to vigilantly maintain a significant distance between my public and private self. It's a product of living in a society that would rapidly and joyously dismantle my life if I were to live authentically.
Shame is why I isolate myself from the people that love me. Shame is why I rarely form new friendships or romantic relationships. That entire process is about sharing your authentic self, and I'm not free to do that.
Being in a romantic relationship with another zoo helped immensely though with those feelings.
If my sexuality were more flexible, and I was visually attracted men and women, I'm sure I'd feel differently as it would be easier to enter romantic relationships and I'd feel less isolated. Shame thrives in isolation.
Welcome home! Eventually you will find most human judgement is without reason or kindness. Hug your dog and ignore the bastards.I've been attracted towards animals (mostly canines) for as long as I can remember. Finding Zooville has really helped me to finally accept this fact about myself and stop feeling deeply ashamed of it. I'm nearing 20 and up until typing this out right now I've kept these feelings strictly to myself for nearly a decade. I spent years feeling like I was some sort of terrible person for viewing dogs sexually and tried as hard as I could to suppress it.
I love dogs more than I can put into words. It's not like it's just sexual, my boy was neutered when I got him and I love him more than anything in the world even though we've done nothing together. It sucks that I can't confide this in anyone I know or talk about it, but I think I'm finally accepting myself for who I am. So, to answer the question, no, I'm not really ashamed very much anymore.
I am a 23 y/o transguy who have always been into girls.
I also happen to have a rather low sex drive, and I am very content with being single and I do not crave for any sort of intimacy. Especially not emotionally.
But at the same time, I have also always been into male dogs. Which is weird because I'm not into human males at all really. At least I don't think so. I consider myself straight. Seriously. I am so confused by this.
I do not live by myself at the moment, and I have only been with a dog yeaaaars ago, but ever since then I have had, uh, a craving. But I hate it. It makes me feel ashamed. I don't understand why. Is it the taboo of it all? What else could it be? I want to keep it behind closed doors, but internally acting out on it would make me feel so ashamed, even though I really want to act on it someday.
Does anyone else feel the same?
