Is It Odd?, Me and my Dog

I've known (accepted) that I've been into this kinda thing for about a year and a half now. I've stopped feeling ashamed about it but even the though of doing anything with my dog freaks me out. I've had her since she was a puppy and I don't like thinking about her that way. I'd probably try it with a new dog if I had the chance though. Is that odd?

Not really... at least to me... I get where you are coming from on that one.

Though if she is willing, to go farther and have it work out well is a beautiful thing. ^_^

:thinking: hmmmm sounds like youve developed deep feelings for your dog but in the way a mother and father love there child, not as a lover. :D sounds normal to me and its very sweet how you bonded so well with her

Well thanks and I guess that might be it.

You answered your own question: "I don't like thinking about her that way."

Okay, so... don't.

Maybe for you it's just a fantasy, or maybe you hold feelings about this that are not compatible with your feelings for her? Think about that before you decide you have got to do something you don't want to do.

Just my observation.

nice thread - moved to zoo

It seems like there are alot of people here who have had the same thing happen. They get a dog and then love it but don't want to have sex with it. If you don't want to think about her that way then don't. If it happens it happens,if it doesn't then it doesn't. You shouldn't have to think about it or force it in anyway.

I have had several dogs in my adult life, some were lovers, most were children... there are definitely different feelings. I have a dog now and I once told someone ( A BF member) our relationship was non-sexual, he asked me why i didn't have her lick me, and i explained to him that while she miight do it, it wouldn't be because she wanted to, since we don't have that sort of relationship. I will hold off my canine desires for the right kind of relatonship... Though I did see the most gorgeous german shepherd mix today..... :lol:

I don't think that it is odd at all. I have been turned on by this as long as I can remember, and I dream all of the time about being mounted. Yet had have had two male dogs, loved them both with all my heart, and I always felt like I would be taking advantage of them in some way if I indulged in my fantasies. It took me dog sitting for a friend for an extended period of time for me to finally try. I had bonded with her, but she didn't feel like my 'baby', I guess. Still don't know why that time was okay. But in reading posts by these lovely folks here, I know that it isn't taking advantage of an animal you love if you play with them. If they do not want it, they will absolutely say no, and that you will have to respect that. If they are okay with it, you will just bond on a whole different level. Good luck!

well its like the human world. There are some people you are attracted to and some you aren't. As sexy as your 23 year old neice is would you boink her? Hopefully not. But that sweet young fox down the street? Of course! Thats why im suspicious of people who get a dog with the intent of falling in love with them and that "thats the one" how can you decide who you love like that? I am definatley not attracted to all dogs, and you aren't either!

I know how you feel. That's why I never developed the feelings for my husky. I don't feel like she is my child, because then I couldn't love her the way I do. I have always loved her as a mate, not as if she was my daughter. I developed parent/child feelings for my cats, and it feels natural to feel that way about cats. My sister treats her dogs as her children, but I don't think of them as my nieces. I fell in love with her two female dogs, and never did the feelings of them being nieces ever enter my mind. Could I have developed the feelings I have for my husky if I had gotten her before I knew of my zoo feelings? More than likely not.

Its normal, and what I think is some of the best evidence that people really do love dogs, and don't just use them as sex toys, because some people love dogs as children and some people love them as more, as the above mentioned. I think its hard for a Zoo to raise a puppy and not have those feelings, you sorta have to raise it with a certain mindset, and find the right balance between lust and love to be able to love your dog as a partner from birth. And I think if you don't have those specific feelings for your dog, like you mentioned, its more then smart to not act on anything to quickly. Who knows, if you take it slow you might develop different feelings for your dog, but if not, then thats perfectly normal. Good luck, and happy forthcoming years with your dog, hope you make the right decision for the both of you.

Sounds like you're on the right track. If you have doubts, don't do it.

i wouldnt say its odd at all. I have heard of that on here quite a bit, and i have had the same feelings with my dogs as well

different strokes for different folks as they say. :rolleyes:
