Zoophilia in history

I found some interesting Chinese bestiality drawings on this website.

Eh, taking a quick glance I really don't see anything too alarming. As long as there's no underage, incest, nor abuse, it should be fine.
 
I do believe that in ancient cultures having sex with animals was something more widely practised then after the spread of abrahamic faiths like Judaism - Christianity - Islam.
Even the stories of Jupiter show that people used to fantazise about sex with animals.
There are historic hints where ancient civilzations of India - Japan - Persia - Greece had sexual intercourse with animals.
Even today in Japan it looks like thats legal so far i have researched.

If you have the records from China and Japan please do share them. I would like to see them.
 
For any spanish speakers around here, have a look at this please:



I haven't read this particular study - my Spanish is still a work in progress - but in one of her articles, Miletski mentioned a study on gauchos in Brazil and Uruguay. This study claimed that "bestiality" was part of the gauchos' lives as a herdsmen's or rural tradition, but only as some sort of initiation and not a regular activity.
this is common around here. usually in adolescence. It is common to hear stories of men mating with mares and cows. Obviously it's not something discussed in front of many people. I myself started in my teens with mares and cows along with my older brother.

Around where?
 
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.
Cool stuff, and thanks for the info
 
Ethnogenesis in many mythologies (how a certain nation was born) sometimes involve human-animal mating. The two I can remember is (1) Turkic mythology had a human/wolf hybrids as their ancestors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkic_mythology#Grey_Wolf_legend). (2) In Chinese mythology, a king promised anyone who killed his archenemy may marry his daughter. His dog did it, and the princess married the dog after a magic process turned him into a human with a dog head (basically an anthro). A few southern Chinese ethnic groups claim that the dog-man and the princess were their ancestor. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhu)
Interesting snippet
 
A few years ago, I watch a sensible, normal documentary about Roman gladiators. All good and vanilla (and very interesting). At one point, the aspect of pleasing the crowd was reviewed. This was early showbiz, after all. People wanted to see more ferocious lions, more athletic gladiators, indeed more of everything. If watching humans losing their lives was viewed as entertainment (albeit the modern Hollywood action movie is the equivalent nowadays), the bar was set low on what would be permitted. And that included slave girls, according to the documentary, herded into the arena to be mated by dogs as the crowd cheered and jeered to show the depravity of barbarians. I would love to say the slave girls were granted their freedom and paraded on shoulders through the streets for their magnificent role in zoophilia history. Sadly, no such luck. After being mated, they had their throats cut. To those about to mate, we salute you.
Wow. Interesting but terrible

For those about to die the author no idea.
 
Well as far as we know it was actually nothing new over the history of humanity especially in ancient Greece & Rome with stories of Jupiter and in Hindu-culture aswell as ancient Asian cultures. After the overtake of monotheism & christianity it got very hated and perceived as crazy.
Of course even in ancient times not everyone did it and it was something you wouldnt talk about openly but like today there have been farmers & barns in remote villages where you would get contact with animal sexuality so people got curious and tried dogs etc.
Within monotheistic faiths it was seen as sodomy & big sin so these deeds would get you killed or shamed forever especially in dark ages but still when you look at hindu-cultures animals are an big part there and people interacted sexually aswell like we have statues & scriptures and even islamic empires the high noble & rulers could do inside their 4 walls what they wanted like the Harem and some have been very open for animal pleasure.
All people & cultures did zoophilia some way or another others more and the others not at all still it remains till today taboo and shameful in society.
