Single forever Zoo research

Hey so just writing up a quick tid bit self research thing about why the 'zoo-exclusive' may come to be in this world. I just wanted to write up some key points that I’ve found as it is something that I find interesting as I am zoo-exclusive myself and hope it may help someone someday. By writing this I wish not to offend anyone in anyway as this is mainly MY OWN opinion from MY OWN views. I DO NOT want to put any words into people's mouths and I can't speak on behalf of everyone as everyone views things differently and has different experiences. I hope to give some sort of insight and maybe some possible answers to other zoo-exclusives that may be struggling with this lifestyle as many as I'm sure find many challenges about it.

So for starters I believe as a zoo that we have more respect for animals than most people do and that being zoo in itself starts almost as soon as your born. It’s something that just can’t be changed. There's a lot of variables such as different experiences that we all have, but think we can all agree that we as zoo's start at a very early age of having this much stronger draw, desire, bond, and compassion for animals. I think that goes without saying that probably some of us if not most of us have to a degree of Asperger's syndrome (which is something I too struggle with); and I don't mean that as in a negative way, but may be the reason as to why we are zoosexual in the first place and why we are socially distant and why we are socially awkward at times and why we have a hard time understanding people sometimes and why we have certain obsessions and why we can accelerate very well specifically on one or very few skills that we are very very very good at understanding and doing.

Like I say, everyone deals with different struggles differently. I think many of us zoo-exclusives choose this lifestyle of being single forever from humans is due to the fact that WE ARE DIFFERENT. That many of us may struggle with trust issues from humans. I think mainly why zoos have all these trust issues and why we have to worry about it all the time, is because being attracted to animals is illegal in most parts of the world. There may also be many other variables such as high anxiety of forming a relationship with a human and having high anxiety about dealing with the zoo side of you in a relationship and also knowing that a relationship can turn sour in a heartbeat. Maybe you just don’t want that kind of risk. Maybe you’re not attracted to humans at all. Maybe you may have higher expectations. Maybe you enjoy your freedom from a human relationship and to do things by your own timeline. Maybe you might feel a bit tied down in a human relationship. Maybe you fear commitment. Maybe you don’t want to hurt or be hurt by someone else. Maybe work gets in the way more often than it should to form healthy relationships with humans. The list goes on and it’s okay to be alone if that’s what you desire.

I think society it’s self has formed unhealthy ‘social-norms’ which has created lots of high anxiety that has caused many problems for many many people; and that in society if you don’t behave in the most slightest certain way that you’re shunned for it. I think not being able to openly talk to people face-to-face, lack of social gatherings, social media, working many many hours and end up not even having anytime to yourself, and not being around people in a social environment can all have a negative impact on social society. I don’t understand where people want to be mean to each other, I don’t understand gossip and you’re not fitting into the mold and why there is a need to tear apart the fabric of society instead of making it so strong that we all support each other; and I don’t get that; I’m no good at playing the social games that the rest of the world plays; I don’t understand it; I don’t get it; I’d rather have a very honest relationship with a non-human animal that has more desire and compassion to socially, spiritually, and romantically accept me for who I am no matter the circumstances. It’s easy, it’s logical. Animals want to be loved and I love them.

In conclusion, if you’re zoo it is absolutely okay and natural to be attracted to animals whether it involves sex or not; don’t ever let anyone else tell you otherwise because it’s none of their business and it’s not for them to decide the life you choose to live. You have to do YOU no matter what… YOU HAVE TO DO YOU... otherwise you’ll never be happy with yourself. I’ll be honest, living a zoo-exclusive lifestyle can be a very very difficult lifestyle to live. It comes with many challenges, but it also comes with many benefits that I value and appreciate very much. Many of the challenges I’ve learned to accept and tackle them head on and if you’re zoo-exclusive, you may struggle with accepting the fact that you may not ever form a committed romantic relationship with a human ever. You may have to accept the fact that you may end up being a loner for the rest of your life. I myself had to figure out that you can’t let the mind take control and overthink about all the negative things and all the what ifs in life. It took myself a lot of time and meditating to accept these facts. Nothing matters besides yourself to make yourself accepting and happy for yourself; not your friends, not your co-workers, not your family, not society and it’s bullshit; ONLY YOU… that’s what matters. You absolutely need to do the things that make you happy and to fulfill your life. You need to find a life that suits you and your needs. If you need any help or advice, we are lucky enough and I am very thankful to have this community on here where we are all here in this together to support each other.

All of this that I talked about is okay, you just have to accept yourself and you’ll be fine.

Hope you found this helpful or at least interesting and if you’d like to add any key points to this, feel free to reply in the comments below.

Agreed.
In my opinion being zoo is simply a matter of having an incorrectly wired brain. Assuming the correct wiring is one that ensures the survival of the species by passing on your genetic material with a compatible mate.
 
Without a slight amount of Asperger Syndrome I wouldn't have been able to read those blocks of text without losing focus on what was the value behind the words, so that's something. :unsure:

Assuming the correct wiring is one that ensures the survival of the species by passing on your genetic material with a compatible mate.
Then being a zoophile is actually the correct wiring. Overpopulation will kill humanity wholly. Even rats possess genetic regulation systems regarding population. Put amount X in a cage and let them breed without ever suffering from hunger / thirst. They will reduce sexual relationships before the cage is overfilled. There were studies regarding this.

But maybe humans are too selfish / uncontrollable to have such a regulator embedded, who knows. :unsure:

I think many of us zoo-exclusives choose this lifestyle of being single forever from humans is due to the fact that WE ARE DIFFERENT.
Every individual is different but if there's plainly no attraction to humans, neither feeling well if the own time gets disturbed, annoyed, distracted by humans in real life, then the difference ain't the main dissonance factor.

Merely the personal likes / dislikes / attraction / repelling. Values as well. Doesn't partake in "choosing" if you just don't see anything erotic in human relationships I guess.

Experiences of the past could individually play a factor, but the attraction factor is wholly independent from this.

Zoophiles ain't mostly ol' crazy cat ladies with a sexual fetish, but actually have a deep linked wholesome love to the animals. Fetishists aside which might resemble the bigger amount regarding communities but are rarely zoo-exclusive.

.. and if you’re zoo-exclusive, you may struggle with accepting the fact that you may not ever form a committed romantic relationship with a human ever. You may have to accept the fact that you may end up being a loner for the rest of your life.
How to be a loner if one keeps animals? :unsure: That's quite a contrary. Not to talk about the social standards which will - even as an off-grid hermit - catch you by the simplest necessities like bureaucratic, work, shopping and other regards and have you bear with humans.

Aside those aspects it's well written but a tad too much generalization. As if zoophiles have to be socially awkward, from bad experience suffering people.

you kinda lost me at "most of zoos have aspergers", "we chose to be zoo-exclusive" and "we're loners and asocial/socially distant"

having a partner (or more) makes one not a loner by definition, doesn't matter if said partner happens to be outside of one's species...
i also highly doubt i'm the only one (or in a minority) not suffering from any mental-condition... no asperger's or anything similar here.
and i (and i'd wager most zoo-exclusives as well) didn't "choose" anything... i didn't "choose" to not be sexually attracted to humans. how could i?

what boggles my mind the most is the "socially distant/awkward" part and it being a very popular belief of what the average zoo is like (well, that and "zoos have animals as substitute for "real" partners" which i hope you're not implying with this).... i'm gonna repeat myself but i very much believe i'm not the only one here (or in the minority) who has zero problems socializing or making friends. who my preferred romantic partner is or what i like in the bedroom is nobody's business but mine and it's very easy thing to keep separate when talking with other ppl. being socially awkward is very likely just a you problem. i get it tho, it's most likely very easy to just pin down to "it's because i'm zoo, we're all like that right?" for a bit of peace of mind in this regard however wrong it sounds when you think about it a little. it's like saying "i'm affraid of heights because i'm right-handed"

i do agree with you that zoos probably have more respect for animals than "regular" folk
 
Everyone has good responses so far, but just to clear one thing up on why I brought up the whole Asperger's thing is that study has shown people with it have stronger bonds and compassion for animals and I see many zoos showing the same similarities of Asperger's.
 
I bet you would be diagnosed with at least something if you got examined. To me it seems that nowadays nobody can be just ok. Every single tiny difference from the ideal average Joe has a name. :D
yeah, everyone has to have something. i mean, there clearly is something "wrong" with my brain considering i'm a zoo-exclusive person.. no idea if an actual "defect" or some kind of nature's population control. then again, it's not like zoophilia is a new thing or is "on the rise" since the human population reached a certain number... the echo chamber effect of places like this forum can make it seem as if "our" numbers are rising.
 
.. the echo chamber effect of places like this forum can make it seem as if "our" numbers are rising.
Mostly the connection abilities raise, but with the humans on raise in technology advanced countries (and as such internet access widely) it sure also means more informed and active zoophiles.

Should be a normal fluctuation, just more likeliness. The overall bandwith in "loving for animals (without sexual aspects)" might show no high differences between "with Asperger" or "without Asperger".
 
Very well written.
I myself think many Zoofiller have asperger or something like that.
Read about a study where children with Asberiger got to write and read before dogs.
It showed that they had easier to entrust the dog with secrets and difficult feelings.
Love and sexual feelings are very difficult feelings
