I need to get this off my chest. I am a zoophile. But I'm not into bestiality.

    I need to preface this by saying that I have never, and am not at risk for, sexually abusing animals, due to how this fetish presents itself. I am not aroused by genitals or sex with animals.

    Throughout my life, I've never really been aroused by humans. Not to the extent of animals. Animals with certain physical proportions and attributes. I am aroused when I am shown affection by these animals, or view videos of this. And I'm addicted to it the same way everyone here is addicted to porn.

    Watching a video or viewing pictures of these animals is the same as watching porn to me. I'm not sure what caused it, but I've been addicted to it since my sexual awakening.

    And no, I did not choose to be like this any more than people choose their sexual orientation. I feel ashamed, disgusting. But I am addicted to it. I want it to stop and just be normal. I want a reboot to fix this for me.

    Hi, no need to be ashamed :) Here you can talk about your sexuality freely. We all have our problems after all.
    I'd also suggest you do a reboot and then decide whether you want to see a mental health professional.
    Good luck on your journey :)

    An attraction toward real life animals like this is definitely something to feel ashamed of. Even if it wasn't, it's causing me to self-isolate and cause porn addiction in my brain. This isn't something like, "I'm aroused by traps, or BDSM, or prostitutes." These are animals.

    I'm going to try and end my relapse.
     
  4. Do you mean like anthropomorphic characters?
    I wish you luck man.

    This is very hard topic to talk about and it brings you a lot of problems, but you shouldn't hate yourself because of this, it is not your fault and you abstain from acting on your urges. Stay strong.

    I like some anthro animals, but real as well.
    It's more like it doesn't present itself in a way that puts me in a real risk.

    Hi, this is the first time I have heard of this type of zoophilia attraction. I have seen zoophilia p and m to it on various ocassions. I havent seen this content In over a year tho, my brain was very desentitized at the time. Anyways thats why there are huge sites dedicated to this type of content because it isnt that uncommon.

    Definitely start by doing a reboot start by setting small and attainable goals. Like for example one day, then a week then a month and so on.

    No problem there is also a book called Your Brain on Porn by Gary Wison. Its a well worth read that definitely changed my life and how I view porn addiction as a whole.

    Why are you constantly telling op what he already knows?

    Greece is literally the cradle of western civilization.

    Gods were beyond the morality of mortals. It would be hubris to act certain way because gods did it. Minotaur was a monster and had to be slain, so I don't think that fucking that bull was a good idea.

    Okay, if you want to argue for the destigmatization of this, feel free to make your own thread somewhere, but this thread is about recovering from it, as it's the cause of a full-blown addiction for me, and something that I'm disgusted with in myself. Your advice to "embrace it" isn't productive for me.

    Youre talking about something you've been experiencing out of a porn context. It might not be possible do de-escalate like people here "do".

    Even if the research that people use here is sound, it doesnt mean that the conclusions or inferences that nofappers make are of themselves.

    Destigmatizing might be the only way you'll be able to deal with your issue.

    The ICD-10 , and the DSM-V are the main compendiaries in regards to mental ilness and paraphilias and they equate ilness with distress and dysfonctions, mainly in the areas of work and relationships.

    Destigmatizing might be the only way you will find your peace, "embrace it" means that just like in mindfulness practices, desires, cravings and aversions fall away after some time, and embracing how you are might reduce the distress you feel and lead to a better balance within your experience, even if your main objective is to change or transform.

    I relate to this because for years embracing my fetish was synonymous with embracing addiction and I wanted to avoid it. I became less worried about having a fetish and started thinking about possibility of acting upon it after I made some progress with nofap. Also if you are during bad period of addiction even your natural preferences are warped by porn and it might be hard to fully understand them, so there is nothing to work with without at least a partial reboot.

    Your opinion advice or whatever is overly complicated. This is very simple once our friend is able to control his porn abuse he will be able to think clearly thats all. After that who knows. Stop with this embracing crap.

    Replying to this because I want more input on the matter. Got kind of derailed before. I don't feel like it's a situation that should be normalized due to the isolation it causes.

    I fear that I may be a zoophile as well. I have had feelings for certain animals... Hopefully these will pass. I don't know if my attractions are true, of if I just have anxiety/minor OCD. I wish I could finally know. I don't think people should be defined by their sexual attractions anyway. I don't think I will ever commit bestiality though. It is gravely disordered. I have never watched and masturbated to bestiality porn as well.
