Hi zooville comunity, i want to question you how do you frefer to call us. Zoophilic or zoosexual.

Zoophilia is the original word to name sex with animals in general.
Zoosexual ir a modern word to name the orientation sexual to animals.

It is not a questionary to differentiate zoophilia and bestialisty.

We must know, the termination (philia) is used by psychology and psychiatry to name the paraphilias, they are mental disorders. However word termination (sexual) is used to name sexual orientations.

We must remember, homosexiality was considered mental disorder and a paraphilia until 1973. In this year, American Psychiatric Association decided to take it ot of his manual. And today is a normal sexual orientation.

It is a questionary to know most people wich prefer to be call us. Personaly, i prefer call me zoosexual, so to start normalizing our orientation ;)
 
I am on the fence of which to select.
'Philia', while meaning 'love', has a connotation that definitely does not mean 'love' to the majority of society. If the negative atmosphere around the suffix did not exist, I would choose that one, but as it is, it allows easy conflation of zoos with pedophilia.
'Sexual' on the other hand would seem to only emphasize the sexual aspect of the relationship. I would prefer a word that expressed more than just a sexual desire, and actually expressed a bond or caring.

I usually just avoid this problem altogether and just say "zoo".
 
I agree with Shanoirll on the 'philia' issue. Its modern meaning to most people is to mark a disorder.

Zoosexuality on the other hand emphasizes the parallel with homosexuality, a formerly heavily persecuted orientation that is now by and large accepted, and protected.
 
I like to use the title zoo romantic to describe myself. I see my animals mate as more than just a sex partner. I see her as my romantic partner and the love of my life ?.
 
I just prefer to be a human/ woman. Theres too many titles as it is in this world. I’m just a woman with diverse sexual wants/needs/ intetests. Just how I see it. No disrespect to anyone else and their preferences.
 
I don't like zoosexual because it makes it seem too sexual when it's really not, at least for me. I prefer zoophile, which literally means animal lover, and boy am I one. I don't have my girl yet, and she isn't alive yet and I won't have her for years, but I still am already in love with her. There's nothing she can do and no way she could be that can change that. I'll love her regardless. Fun fact, homosexuals used to be called homophiles. Homosexual used to be considered offensive for the very reason I just stated, because it makes it sound purely sexual. However, I realize that utilizing zoosexual is a better route because of homosexuals and because people her phile and think pedophile, my mom does that exact thing.
