Being zoophill is a mental issue?

It may be, it may not be. It depends on what you are.

There is a lot of confusion around terms used in the zoo community, so here is how science defines these terms:

Bestialist: There are the “bestialists” who have one or a few sexual contacts with an animal, or they use animals when a more “normal” outlet is not available.
(2002, Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, Hani Miletski, page 5)

---

Zoophile: The second class are the “zoophiles.” These are the people who prefer an animal as a sex partner, often forming deep emotional relationships with it (Matthews, 1994)"
(2002, Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, Hani Miletski, page 5)

According to Kurrelgyre (1995), “zoophilia” is an emotional attachment to an animal that causes a human being to prefer a non-human animal as a companion and/or sexual partner.
(2002, Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, Hani Miletski, page 6)

Zoo exclusive: Class X, “exclusive zoosexuals” have sexual activity primarily or exclusively with animals and prefer animals to humans, consistent with Earls and Lalumiere’s (2009) criteria for exclusive zoophilia. (quoted below)
(2022, Measurement and Correlates of Zoophilic Interest in an Online Community Sample, Alexandra M. Zidenberg, Mark E. Olver, page 3)

Earls and Lalumiere’s criteria for exclusive zoophilia:
Preference for sex with nonhuman animals (preferential bestiality - zoophilia).
A clear case of preferential bestiality would meet the following criteria:
(1) the individual reports intense and recurrent sexual fantasies and urges about having sexual interactions with nonhuman animals, or reports repeated sexual interactions with nonhuman animals accompanied by strong sexual arousal;
(2) the individual chooses sexual interactions with nonhuman animals even when willing human partners are available;
(3) using objective measures, the individual shows greater sexual arousal to images of members of a nonhuman species than to images of humans, or shows greater sexual arousal to descriptions of sexual interactions with members of a nonhuman species than to descriptions of sexual interactions with humans.
(2002, A Case Study of Preferential Bestiality (Zoophilia), Christopher M. Earls, Martin L. Lalumiere, page 84)

"I am zoo exclusive and the very thought of having sex with a human disgusts me. Ask a homosexual if he wants to have sex with someone of the opposite gender."
(2002, Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, Hani Miletski, page 162)

I then add one more definition commonly used on the forum:
Fetishist: An individual interested in watching someone else having sex with an animal but having no desire to have sex with a non-human animal him/herself.

Being zoophill is a mental issue? Should I feel bad?

Does it negatively impact your life? are you un able to maintain simple ethics?

If no to both then you are fine, it is only mental issue if you are doing harm to your self or other living beings

 

[RuinatedKingg]

It does not! Thank you for the encouragement
