There is a lot of confusion around terms used in the zoo community, so here are some definitions:
Bestialist: There are the “bestialists” who have one or a few sexual contacts with an animal, or they use animals when a more “normal” outlet is not available.
(2002, Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, Hani Miletski, page 5)
Zoophile: The second class are the “zoophiles.” These are the people who prefer an animal as a sex partner, often forming deep emotional relationships with it (Matthews, 1994)"
(2002, Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, Hani Miletski, page 5)
According to Kurrelgyre (1995), “zoophilia” is an emotional attachment to an animal that causes a human being to prefer a non-human animal as a companion and/or sexual partner.
(2002, Understanding Bestiality and Zoophilia, Hani Miletski, page 6)
Zoo exclusive: Class X, “exclusive zoosexuals” have sexual activity primarily or exclusively with animals and prefer animals to humans, consistent with Earls and Lalumiere’s (2009) criteria for exclusive zoophilia. (quoted below)
(2022, Measurement and Correlates of Zoophilic Interest in an Online Community Sample, Alexandra M. Zidenberg, Mark E. Olver, page 3)
Fetishist: An individual interested in watching someone else having sex with an animal but having no desire to have sex with a non-human animal him/herself.
Bestialist: There are the “bestialists” who have one or a few sexual contacts with an animal, or they use animals when a more “normal” outlet is not available.
