Hard to say, my zoo attractions developed when I was as young as 11 years old. When I had my first real boyfriend at 16 years old I almosy immediatly asked him to collar and leash me hha. at age 18 I jumped into the puppyplay community. For a hot few years I actually was very anti zoophile, very rude even. But I guess I was just turning my internal selfhate into an external experience. As I befriended more and more zoos I just.. started to realize And accept what I experience.
At first I went to therapy for this actually. Jokes on me, my therapist helped me to learn that being a zoophile isnt necessarily anythinh harmful, abusive, disgusting,..
And 1 + 2 = I just came to accept myself
this was maybe a couple months back.
