Poly Zoos

Hi y'all,

Two years ago I discovered that am polyamourous in my human relationships, which basically means that I believe in open love between multiple partners, rather than being monogamous to one. It includes sexual and romantic connections.

I'm quite honest and open about it and have an amazing nesting partner who is on the same line .. at least for this.

Aside from the I've also always been a zoo and attracted to animals sexually. This part I'm not so open about for obvious reasons and I currently don't have a partner that knows. I also don't have any furry partner(s).

But this made me wonder, are there other people like me? Who are open to having multiple partners both human and animal? Are there also zoo-exclusive polyamourous people? Not just having sex with multiple animals but actually deep, loving bonds with more than one?

Or are most people monogamous? Or maybe loyal to a single human and a single animal partner?

Would love to learn more about this combination of beliefs and attractions ...

It's great that you're being honest and aware of this early. I'd say fitting inter-species relationships into a human poly one depends on how you see the status of them. In the same way as part of the dialogue on poly relationships, there's the dichotomy between physical intimacy and romance -- sexual vs romantic attraction -- and it seems like you're referencing this with your first sentence. You've got to decide where you are on this scale with being zoo, and how much that needs to mesh with your other human relationships, if at all. The way to NOT do it, is to be physically intimate with an animal companion in secret within the context of your relationship and then, if discover, try to defend it as "being poly," I can see that going pretty badly.

Yes! There's zoo folks from all over the map -- I guess my question would be, if that can occur in human relationships, why can't it occur with inter-species ones? The way I see it, humans, canines, equines, etc all have amazing and unique qualities to relationships with them, so why limit yourself to needing to "stay monogamous" with a single companion. In a human one, the other person brings with them a whole cultural and historic way of understanding relationships, but you've already navigated that once most likely in your current poly relationship -- I don't see the talking points as any different, strictly technically, when thinking about relationships with other species, apart from navigating the entire dynamic of "zoo" being equal to a whole assumed laundry list of pretty terrible stuff for most people and needing to work your way through that list for your own ethics and in order to be open to answering questions about it.

that's two partners, not monogamous....

i am poly when it comes to dogs. tho to be honest, i never really gave it much thought since it's not like they're monogamous either.

A very interesting point. Monogamy is mostly a human invention. There are some animals that may remain lifelong partners but it's definitely the exception. Still since it is so ingrained into our own morality about relationships, I think it's an interesting topic to discuss.

I honestly find romantic attraction hard to separate from sexual attraction in zoophilia. Maybe that's because I have always loved animals and bonded with them deeply and became zoo about at the same time as my sexual development began. Growing up on a farm, I suppose.

Some individuals, I'm interested in sexually, some romantically, others both and even others only platonically or not at all. And individuals can be used for human and non-human companions.

None of it is black or white to me, not with humans and not as a zoo. Yes, I can only be sexually interested in an animal .. or in a person. And yes I can form deep bonds with an animal without any sexual thoughts at all, as I can with a person. And anything in between those two.

I would definitely not advocate using "polyamory" as an excuse for being sneaky with an animal partner. That's a moral quicksand. One of the reasons why I'm not actively Zoo.
 
Dogs will mate with more than one partner if given the chance, without a second thought. I've fooled around with other dogs while being active with my own in the past. Did they care? No. It's only humans that are hung up on the belief that monogamy is the only way to be :gsd_eyeroll:
