Feeling of guilt

[BrotatoChip]

Tbh opening up about this in therapy changed my life and made me feel like I'm not just a monster for feeling this way...

I'm hoping I can get a similar outcome. Even just posting here has been such an incredible relief I'm honestly astounded. I want therapy to deal with other stuff and improve myself, but in the past I suspect I've been hindering progress by leaving out what feels like a huge part of my being.

I started reaching out to therapists today to try to get the ball rolling. Thanks again for speaking up, it really meant a lot to me.

How long did it take you to fully embrace it?

I’m still wrestling with it, but if it’s anything like other extreme Taboo kinks like vore then it takes years. Some more than others

It took me along time to get ok with it honestly. Went from really enjoying it and making friends to leaving it all and breaking off some good friendships. Even now I have moments where honestly I dunno if I want to talk or indulge with it, but also learning to really accept is as part of myself. Making new friends and talking has really helped, not sure if i'll ever indulge again or not but it can be a slow process for some people for sure.

Barring all the innuendo it took us years to admit it to each other. Accept it, enjoy it and stay safe!

don't; you're healthy and natural like you are

Is little part of me saying this is wrong ever gonna fade away or am I stuck with it?

 

[BrotatoChip]

I've heard rumors of people having it go away or never having it at all, but I don't find myself in that camp just yet. Person by person I suppose.

 

[Sumpup]

Well you just do it in a way that doesn't feel wrong. Does it feel wrong when you pet a dog?

Why is it a different feeling when you suck a dog.

Both make the dog feel good. Both make yourself feel good ... what's this issue here?

If it was just sex I'd feel wrong about it too. But there's alot of flirty foreplay and body language beforehand.
but hey if it feels wrong for you then don't do it. You can be sexually attacked to animals without acting on it.
But if you went through the foreplay and are highly intune with your animal partner the actual act of sex definitely seems right.

But I personally much prefer the bond over the actual act of sex.

 

[Sumpup]

Do you think dogs or other animals are weirded out over mating with humans? Like are they thinking " fuck that was weird , I can't believe I just did that it's so wrong ! But it felt so good , dog damn!

 

[Canilaris]

Guilt, well not anymore since this is an effect of social boundaries but yeah have been there..

 

[zoocurious02]

I’d be pretty boring (and bored) if I were not into zoo. Personally I don’t feel pride for engaging in this but I no longer feel regret. I am harmless.

 

[teutonicdragon]

I'll be honest. I often do. I think because of the world we live in, and the niggling fear that I am doing something wrong. I can often rationalize things, how we as humans do far, far worse to our animal companions and the fact that I enjoy pleasuring them is pretty low on the offense spectrum, but still it is ingrained in me to feel shame over something I've tried to change over and over.

If you had a choice would you not be a zoo? Sometimes I think I might. If it was a simple switch I would choose to be "normal"-- whatever that is. But I guess I really have no choice in this matter so I try to accept myself more. Some days are easier than others.

as long as all involved enjoy and are pleasured it is fine. Particularly a male dog ejaculating is pleasurable.

anytime I finish to zoo related porn I feel guilty and try to stop it but i always come back to it

I've been down this loop HUNDREDS of times, I finish, the guilt sets in, I tell myself I'll never look at it again, I always come back.

I started when i was VERY young - Over the years, every time I indulged in it it became less of a disgusting desire and more of just a fetish, "That turns me on, I don't get BDSM in the same way people don't get my thing" I just cant talk about mine lol

Once I overcame the "Yeah, I'm actually into this" phase and read more about people's experiences in this forum, I've started to really understand the deep relationships with animals people have and even realize that's something I'd like myself.

It was (and is) a slow process for me. I've come back enough times to know it's not a phase. What I do with that information is still up for me to decide.

Having grown up in a very religious household, I've struggled with the guilt ever since I first had sexual contact with a dog. It's made my sexual relationship with my boy be on again off again due to no fault of his own, and has caused me to hate myself to a degree I never thought anyone could. I can't give you an answer to your question since I cannot answer it for myself, but something I have been learning the more I've gotten into the community is that surrounding yourself with like minded people who understand your struggles and are willing to listen to you when you feel the guilt weighing heavy helps a lot. I haven't been here long and I already don't feel like I'm a monster anymore.

 

[Sol24]

I know post like this have been made a million times but now I'm asking, how do you accept yourself as a zoo? I struggle with it and even tried to cut myself off from the community and content several times, but I always seem to get pulled back. With the lack of people to actually talk to, or knowing the odds of me finding a partner into this, and having to hide this bit of myself from any partner. How do you guys manage?

 

[Dogspunk]

Humans have been having sex with animals since the dawn of time lol.

 

[DerrickBerk]

norteThe guilt never goes away, but you ignore it

 

[shyprincess]

I never felt guilty. All the initiatives came from my dog, and he never did anything against his will.
Of course, there was initially shame and doubt, such as the idea that a decent woman doesn't do such things or allow them to happen. The worst thing was the fear of being discovered and being seen by the public
as a freak or worse. I had a few sleepless nights, but I never felt guilty.

 

[friskyfox]

Personally I have always been conflicted. I tend to switch between exploring my interests and then running away from it. Also I'm always trying to understand why I am the way I am. Like how did this happen or what messed me up?

 

[lablvr]

What guilt? Lol


My boys love it. They aren't suffering. I'm not suffering. We're all having fun. No guilt.

 

[milabue]

I feel embarassment sometimes when my proclivities come out.
I don't understand a feeling of guilt about this. Guilt is feeling that I have done something bad.
Shame, well, in the case of zoophilia, that's about peoples' opinions, and I have no shame about it.
Basically, if you can be lovey with whoever, go have fun.

Just accept

I think it'll eventually go away. It's hard to change something that society makes you think is so normal. I assume most still struggle with this, I know I do.

the way a lot of people rationalize it (I'm not saying you're a bad person, nor are any of us) is that as long as it's something the other partner wants, enjoys, initiates, actively participates in (willingly and happily), or seeks out, then there is nothing out of the ordinary compared to what they would be doing if they had another applicable candidate to do the same thing with them. You are both fulfilling a need, and enjoying each other in the process. And you're building a closer bond and making each others lives better while imbibing in something fun in the process. guilt is understandable, but not needed. just love on your companion and let them do what they want to do and let things fall as they will. You'll both be enjoying the outcome, especially if you remove any limits/ hesitations/ social boundaries and just go with the flow and enjoy the moment. especially if it's out of the blue.
