Zoophilia in history

So human/animal coupling is a huge theme in lots of mythology! One major example is the wife of King Minos, who coupled with a bull and gave birth to the Minotaur. Other examples I can immediately think of include animal brides (touched on here), the various exploits of Zeus, and other myths related to shapeshifting. In terms of historical information, a lot of classical authors accuse the Egyptians of bestiality, but, much like today's jokes against the Welsh (or Scottish, Kiwis, etc.) it was likely just an insult. I did find some references indicating that some tribes indigenous to North America seem to not have had a taboo against zoosexual behavior, but I want to do more research into that. And obviously, religion managed to get its hands on this, as it has so many other things. Abrahamic religions have proscriptions against it, in Leviticus 18 and 20, although in the New Testament, some scholars have debated if there remains a proscription against zoosexual acts, based on Jesus' overturning of Judaic law.

I'll let y'all know if I learn more as I do more research.
yessss the minotaur. i loved that myth as a middle schooler bc i learned i wasnt the only one with an affinity for bulls
 
Isn't there the Greek myth of Epona, who was born of the union between a man who formed a sexual relationship with a mare because he hated women, and the offspring became the goddess of fertility?
I'm no historian so I probably have that ALL wrong, but still, that's a thing worth documenting if I'm at all correct.
Interesting. And how many religions condemn zoophilia?
 
Monotheism has always condemned this practice from the beginning. Polytheism on the other hand has always supported bestiality. Pagan gods are degenerate.
Well, the Greeks had legends about interspecies sex as warnings. They thought it would produce monsters. Minotaur, centaur...
 
Since life was created when the world was still just a world... and then zygotic endosymbiosis came along.

1. Simple organic molecules were formed.
2. Replicator molecules evolved and began to experience natural selection.
3. Replicator molecules became wrapped in a cell membrane.
4. Some cells began to develop modern metabolic processes and outperformed those with other, older forms of metabolism.

You are human thanks to this ancient tendency.

Amigo, veo que te interesa la ciencia, por eso tal vez te interese un artículo que escribí sobre la domesticación histórica del perro y la importancia de la vagina humana para esa evolución doméstica, te dejo el link:


Gracias, saludos.
 
Animal sex was probably acceptable thousands years ago.
It is still acceptable among people that love their animals..it is just people that believe fairy stories about gods that oppose having sex with an animal and want to punish people that love their animals.
 
I was once told by someone that there is some history about zoophilia in north america during pre-colonial times? but they did not provide anything to corroborate it, I have yet to find anything to disprove it either.

Could anyone tell me whether this is true or not? I am not informed on the subject.
Some people in every society had sex with animals especially young horny men...whether this was accepted by the elders in society is not known.
 
Well with no CCTV and even less forensic evidencing it must have been even better and much nicer to have sex with an animal. As long as you aren't physically seen by the wrong person you're fine to have that pleasure. And even then people may have described you incorrectly and you may have been able to run away with a lack of evidence against you for it
 
Well, the Greeks had legends about interspecies sex as warnings. They thought it would produce monsters. Minotaur, centaur...
Bring on the monsters, now days we call them furrys.

That was attributed to Catherine the Great of Russia but it’s not true.
So she survived then? fascinating!

Exactly. I please animals in honor of the pagan gods. If any new age bigot doesn't like that they can suck a dick. Oh right their books condemned that too:gsd_laughing:
As if that stopped some of them from doing it, they only follow their own rules when its convenient, they usually have the "do as i say, not as i do" mentality.
