Why is zoophilia such a sexualized community?

[Ginger_Ale]

I feel like I can answer this one with a simple, "well people see porn of it online and will find themselves here..." But that answer doesn't really seem like a good one.
I'd like to know—in y'all's opinion—why the community became this way in the first place, when really, all we do is just love animals more than the average person.
That's it, just wanting any theories and anything else relevant to this topic.

It's largely a fetish for most folks I suspect, so there's that. I also think there's a sense of like, "Oh well, I'm into animals already, I guess everything is fair game!" and this makes people less inhibited about being very overtly sexual with less restraint. Uh, it's somewhat hard to engage with in real life so I think there's both a lot of pent up sexual energy and people are probably frying their brains with pornography and they get used to looking at it solely through a sexual lens.

I'm pretty new to the "community" so I dunno if I have it pegged, but that's what a fresh set of eyes sees.

 

[BrotatoChip]

Oh, I should also say, the fact that it is so heavily sexualized is one reason I stayed isolated so long and didn't want to talk to anyone. I'd found communities online but stayed away because they were just like, really extreme with pornography and pretty heavy fetishism that made me feel pretty afraid. Like, I dunno, if you're looking for tenderness and help, it does not seem like the place to get it looking at it from a distance.

To be clear, I'm not anti porn or against people doing their thing within reason, it's just when you lump it so together it makes finding the stuff of real value harder I think. I guess that's another reason, the community is so small you kind of have to let everyone in to get enough engagement.

Why is the sexual preference for animals so sexual?

I just don’t know. What a mystery…

 

[labsareawesome]

Well, cat ladies really adore their pets, but that's not what we're talking about here, is it? Dogs are pretty adorable too just because, but participants here typically also have another dimension of appreciation about them too, unlike most of the public. Besides, if you're on a stock market forum, you just might find a lot of discussion about finances and economics - isn't that so?

Because it's a taboo I guess? Are you like asking why there aren't more "romantic" websites of zoophilia? I guess it all just gets funneled in here

I think this really is most of the issue honestly. You can find whatever you want here, but it's going to be mixed with stuff you're not looking for necessarily.

I mean, to come at it from the opposite angle, there's probably tons of people here looking to get material for the ol' spank bank, but then they have to read through my posts bitching about my feelings and I've probably murdered a whole bunch of boners.

Live and let live I suppose.

Hi there. Instead of porn, I can recommend you an easy-to-use service for sex dating. So you should try hookup tonight @ nastyhookups , because I have been using this service for a long time, and this site has helped me find a lot of sexual encounters, and therefore I am personally very pleased with the effectiveness of this service!

Yeah, I get what you mean. Sometimes online communities just evolve in odd ways—especially when outsiders bring in assumptions or certain content skews perception. At the core, most people here really do just have a deep passion for animals. Maybe the visibility of fringe content online created a weird stereotype that doesn’t reflect the real majority.

 

[AppleDash]

In my opinion, it seems to be a sexualised subculture because at its core, the community is defined by its sexuality. In a way, it's the raison d'être of forums like this one and that's why you always will find people here chasing their sexual dreams and desires. Once you go beyond this, you find among those who frequent forums like this one pretty much normal people who just happen to have a different kind of love and affection for their nonhuman partners.

Perhaps it's the difference between your identity being defined by zoophilia or your zoophilia being defined by your identity. When I first started to explore this side of me, it was all about the sex. Over the years this has changed. Rather than dominating my identity, zoophilia is just one part of it. I can have a chat with people here on the forum (and zoophiles I met elsewhere) about all kinds of things and not just the sex.

That said, the way other people behave here - in combination with how zoophilia usually hits the headlines - creates the impression it's just about the sex.

Oh wow! I never thought of that! What great thought provoking ideas you've given me. -_-

I say this partly to be an ass, but also because yes, I am aware that it is just another sexual preference, but that doesn't mean anything about the community at large. Being gay is a sexual preference, but most gay communities online and in person are mostly about acceptance and generally coming together to help one another out; same things with many other communities about sexual preferences, but it's different here. I'm enjoying what some people have written thus far, but I want to get a wider variety of opinions because, once again, just because zoophilia is a sexual preference, doesn't mean the community should be entirely focused on sex, or at least as much as it is here. (Holy yap fest I'm almost done, sorry TwT) I'm not saying the community here is bad, it's awesome in fact, it's just a good thing in general to think critically about the things you interact with and also look back to see how things have been and how things could change in the future, especially as a lot of early gay culture started as a fetish culture and evolved over time.

Did not intend for me to say that much, my god am I boring lol. TwT

Not necessarily, I'm unsure how to phrase it any other way than "why is it so sexualized?" I'll try to shorten this so it's not like the above TwT.

Like I understand that zoophilia is a sexuality/sexual preference, I just want to know why our community specifically evolved to be so sexual, like gay online communities (yet another sexuality/sexual preference) are not anywhere near as obsessed with sex as our communities culture tends to be.

Gays have lots of opportunities to fulfill their sex lives, as long as they're not too far from a big city. It's easy to find lively nightclubs, or you can install Grindr and get laid like there's no tomorrow. We don't have anything like that, and this is the only place we can let it all hang out.

I think it's also a question that has a gradient to it, so while the question is the same for everyone, how they feel dramatically changes to where some people might not even consider it sexualized at all. I guess it might be better to ask, do you think the zoo community is too heavily sexualized, why/why not, and if yes, why do you think that is?

I think I'm on the same wavelength as you though homeslice, so I think I understood what you meant right away by virtue of my agreement that it is. No shade on anybody else, btw.

because the statement "we just love animals more than the average person" doesn't seem true for the average user of this forum.

most seem to be here because it's "dirty/kinky" to have or see someone else have sex with a non-human animal with no "love" involved. just look for how many ppl it seems perfectly fine to just put up a "who will lend me their animal to fuck/get fucked by" personal ad or "how to make my wife fuck a dog for me?" type thread.

 

[MashaSobaka]

There is a difference between zoophilia, bestiality and fetishism.
The second and third are essentially just about sex/fuck. So they are sex oriented.

Sex also makes up a large, medium part of zoophilia, so sex will be present there as well.

So yes, a sexual orientation, a sexual subculture, a sexual fandom, a sexual lifestyle... Whatever I call it. It will be about sex.

If you examine it as a whole group, the proportion of sexual themes is very high. If you examine only zoophilia, the proportion of sexual themes is also high or medium, but much smaller than in the case of the other two.

Anyone who thinks that zoophiles don't like to lot of sex is mistaken. We love to have sex. There is just a difference between sex/making love and fuck/hawt.

 

[OwnThatKinkGirl]

Uhhh, because it is about sex?

 

[wolf_am_i]

Uhhh, because it is about sex?

No, it's not. Zoophiles are attracted to animals romantically and emotionally, too. Sex is of course a part of it, its a sexual orientation. But not all of us are just fetishists. I wish there were a better balance of sexual and non-sexual, but still zoo-related content on here. Zoocadia is like that but almost skewed in the opposite direction. I guess ZC and ZV together achieves the kind of balance I'd be looking for

 

[wolf_am_i]

Like mashasobaka said, theres not just zoophiles here. Theres also non-zoos who are into bestiality only as a fetish, so for them it is only sexual. I don't really mind the two 'factions' being grouped together into one community, we're similar enough and there's so little of us online I think it's good that we stick together but I do wish, like I said in my other comment that there was more of a balance. I also think labsareawesome makes a great point that for most of us, regardless of zoophilia or fetish, these online spaces are the only oppurtunities we have to express our sexualities which tends to take some priority over emotional or romance-focussed discussions.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Yeah, I see where everyone is coming from, I may have also phrased it strangely in general. I'd like to say I don't think there's any problems with the community being as sexual as it is, I think it's perfectly fine actually. Do I wish there was a better balance? Yes. But I don't think it's a bad thing that there's so much sex here.
Like sex in general is such an important part of culture as a whole that it's in basically everything. And while I may not want sex in the things that I consume all the time, I don't have a problem with it, I mainly just think it's a good idea to think critically about the things we consume, like just generally asking why, not in an accusatory way, purely in a curiosity sense.

So yeah, sorry if anybody thought I was asking it in a negative way, I was just genuinely curious about it.

 

[bayareacpl]

Going to a website with a porn section and asking why the site is so sexual in nature is like asking a masked man his name.

I think this begs the question of if it's confined to this site, or if the "issue" pervades the "community" at large. Probably hard to detangle.

I think you're WAY overthinking this.
People are horny. Always have been, always will be.

It's that simple.

I don't think it's that dumb of a question tbh, it's more a question for curiosities sake, like the other responses are quite good, since they deconstruct the community at large to think about it. I don't mean to be rude or anything, so sorry if it comes across that way, but I just enjoy bringing my curiosity to the forefront of my mind and seeing if there're other ways to think about it, hence my asking this question initially.

It is a good porn section though, I don't think anyone can deny that.

Its definitely pervasive. The former site director admitted to collecting incels to populate the site, saying they were easy converts due to the fact that they won’t hear a verbal negative.

The former site director admitted to recruiting incels. That probably has a major part in the degree with which they tend to be unable to talk about anything except sex or politics.

I’m not a big consumer of it.

We've all got our things, I'm asexual, but even I peruse it once in a while.

Wait till you read their combined idiolect while they’re catfishing as women. Some of that shit is hilariously transparent.

It seems to mostly be reposts upon reposts. I’ve already consumed it all

Oh yeah, definitely seen some of those lol, always a fun read.

Yeah, but sometimes there's new stuff, never anything new with the niche stuff though, it's unfortunate
