I have been preferring dog porn for a while. Honestly, i have a solid attraction to men and i want a human partner, but each of my relationships has been complicated in a way that eventually made me want to disengage. Right now, however, I'm more financially stable then ever and on track to have a good retirement and it's because of my partners income. If I go zoo exclusive, I'll have to live on my own, maybe purchase a home which i because I'll want several dogs, and to do that, I'll have to move where homes are cheaper. It will require more money than I'd prefer to spend, but i feel the sexual liberty could be worth it. On the other hand, It's social isolation that i believe drew me to animals in childhood. I had a low-self esteem, was emotionally abused by my parents and betrayed by the boys i was attracted to in school and made fun of for my sexuality. I've mostly gotten over the trauma but the sexual attraction to animals remains. Socially isolating myself so I can entertain what i believe was an adaptive response to trauma feels like a step backwards. I'm afraid that I'll risk losing the social support network that I need. And what if get sick or am in need of help? So much for the tangible benefits of a human relationship then! Can I have your feedback?

Nobody here can give you advice about your own life. You have to think about what you want yourself. Based on the fact that you are not actually zoo exclusive but in fact want a human partner, I think over time that aspect of you will win and you will feel alone with just dogs.

New here, but I agree with pes. I know it's not helpful, but we can't tell you what your best course of action is since we don't know you. You have to decide. I recommend keeping a journal of your thoughts and feelings about this and revisiting your entries from time to time to see if your thought processes change. In reality, you don't need a human relationship to be happy, but you definitely want to make sure you do what's healthiest for you.

If you are unsure of the answer, perhaps it's too soon to take any action that couldn't be undone.
Are you happy or content while you are by yourself, or do you need the support of another person?
Would you want to be with someone if that person was totally accepting of your sexual preference?
Would you be content with the love and interaction with your boy(s), and no more, as in no human interaction?
Is it only the sexual component of zoo, or are you capable of feeling love for and from your non human partner?
Unfortunately for most of us on here, the community is still so small it's hard to find a human partner that would be totally accepting.
I've been conflicted a long tine about my place in zoo.
I hope you find an answer that will leave you with no regrets.
Being a zoo exclusive I'd like to point out that being zoo exclusive doesn't mean social isolation. I have great relationships with my co-workers and I have friends who I engage with socially usually several times a week. You could even go as far as finding another zoo exclusive as a roommate to share expenses and have a stable social partner. Regardless, do what's right with your current partner. If you aren't feeling it anymore and they are do not lead them on solely because it benefits you financially, that's not right.

I disagree with watcher. Dont measure your growth/self based on a partner and finding a zoo partner wont suddenly make everything right.
Take time to grow and figure out who you are. Discuss it with your current partner, even if you dont say everything.
Ultimately, figuring out who you are and what you want could be accomplished within your current relationship hopefully but its something you will probably have to do at some stage.
I cant say if leaving to isolate is the right choice for you, nor can i say its the wrong one. If there's trust, opening a dialogue, even if its not divulging everything initially may be the best way to move forward. But these are things you will have to consider yourself as every situation is unique.

@Pitb9573 No one can really tell you how to live your life. Those kinds of decisions are yours to make. We all live with the consequences of our actions and decisions.
I made the decision to confess everything to my gf right at the real beginning of our relationship, in the full knowledge that she might run a mile when she heard the truth of me. I was unhappy that I might lose her affection but I didn't want to give up my way of life either. I am what I am. She chose to stay and also confessed to me. But it could have gone the other way.
The choice is really yours to make.
