Wishing I could feel safe telling someone

Just wanted to get some stuff off my chest

I've had "zooey" feelings ever since I was a kid, but I only recently got to talk about it for the first time with a sex therapist (who told me about this forum and was very accepting).
This forum is a great resource, but I wish I could feel safe sharing this part of myself with partners. I don't even write about it in my journal because I'm terrified of someone reading it, even after I'm dead.
I was talking to my nesting partner recently and we got on the topic of sex and kinks - specifically things we personally wouldn't be into doing. I playfully asked "What's the wildest thing I could be into that you'd still be down for?" to test the waters and the answer was along the lines of "I mean, as long as you don't want to fuck a horse or something".

Just so weird that I've learned to accept myself so much through sex therapy, but I can't feel safe sharing this core part of me...
 
From what I've seen, the two main struggles with being a zoo is self acceptance and finding others that are the same, or at the very least, accepting of it.

My best advice is to find some friends here, and eventually you may find someone to share this life with. It will take a while though.

I finally met a fellow zoo for the first time this year after being a part of the online community for over a decade. Definitely worth it though!

(Feel free to send a PM my way if you'd like to chat sometime.)
