I'm not exactly zoo exclusive in the since that I'd be open for a relationship with the right woman. But for now I'm only in a sexual lovey-dovey relationship the my dog, and I don't see that changing in the near future. With this relationship comes many positives and negatives.
Positives:
1) A zoo relationship with my canine girl is nothing but unquestionable and unconditional love for one another.
2) I feel a deep primal and emotional bond with my canine. When I've went through sad and depressing moments, I've used her as a shoulder to cry on. She knew something was off and felt the need to be around me and comfort me. She let me use her as a big pillow to place my head upon and cry when my emotions got the best of me. Normally, I'm a happy and joyous person, but sometimes life likes to kick your rear end. She's there for me, and I her.
3) All the sex we want and no condoms nor birth control needs. I'm free to plant my seed as deep as I can with no chance of pregnancy.
4) Just knowing that we make each other happy emotionally and also sexually. Knowing that she's sexually satisfied and that sex makes her feel wonderful. She's always super duper happy during and after sex, as am I. The consensual dynamic is a wonderful one for sure.
Negatives:
1) The most obvious one... She's only going to be around for maybe 8-13 years. 13 if I'm damn lucky. Usually, 10 years is expected from her breed. I know this is going to absolutely devastate me when she passes. I will be thrown into a deep depression which may take years to overcome. I know it's going to change my personality, and not necessarily for the better.
2) I cannot have a deep intellectual conversation with her. I cannot express how I feel through words. Only body language.
3) I have to keep this love a secret due to the ignorance of the general public. I know that I love my girl, and any sex we have is mutual pleasure. But the general society would call me nothing more than an animal rapist without a second thought. I have to live in fear for my and her safety. For the safety of both my doggy girls. (although, I'm only really sexually active with my newfie.)
4) Having family constantly question you if you've "found a girlfriend yet." Yeah... I've found one alright, but I cannot tell them about it.
