All of my friends and people who's around me know that I love horses.
Nobody knows (or at least is what I think) I have sexual intercourses with them.
My friends would not understand, they look at sex with animals like a weirdness, something kinky and nothing more. Sometimes I've talked about it with them, but they cannot see true love in what zoo people do. So, I think I'll keep my secret...

As i havent had any zoo relationship yet..and not got the opportunity for a long while...it hasnt been a problem...as in i havent done anything/got many feelings yet..

but i could imagine..that if and when i do.. it would be a case of keep it well hidden..

Like others have noted,I keep it to myself as well. It's definatly not something I would want to talk to others about,outide the forum As a couple have said,I too would like to find someone like minded to share with.

Hide isnt the correct term, it still shows, but only in the ordinary ways.
One cannot truely hide whats inside :)

with people who are not into animals i dont really chat about it to but sometimes i just through it out there but really most people i chat to they know how much i love my dogs and could maybe assume but who the hell cares i am what i am haha and my gf knows so all things are good

i hide it

i hide my zoo feelings mostly because they're deviations from social norms (to put it very lightly lol).

Some interesting replies, but still curious as to how the denial side which seems prevelent through the thread affects some of us.

To be honest, I'm quite aware that I deny it, even to myself. I don't like to think of it though as a form of self denial though, rather, a compromise. Ever since I moved in with my girlfriend and told her of my zoo side, we've never mentioned it. I can tell at times she wants to discuss it but she stops. I know it isnt healthy but I see many things I want in the future and personaly, I'm willing to make that compromise....I really want a life with her, but I cannot stop the need to indulge my zooishness. One day it will come down to the real issue...

I've only told my girlfriend, other than her, nobody around me knows and I'd like to keep it that way.

Well I told my GF a couple days ago. I was actually quite scared but figured she's always been very understanding and said she would love me no matter what I do or who I am. SO I put that to the test. I told her I'm on my way to class. I made the comment "Look up Zoophilia" Surprising she already knew what it was. She said she didnt have a big deal with it.

Only reason why I told her. Imagine her coming home and seeing me and my lovable companion having intercourse. Yeah I could imagine, but now that she knows. She doesnt find it a big deal and is even interested in possibly trying it but highly doubtful she says. No big deal for me as long as she accepts me for who I am then ya know what I'm kewl with it.

Plus I'm new here and I'm glad I finally found a place where there are people like me. I'm looking for friends in the Washington area so go ahead and send me a msg. Since I can honestly say it's kinda lonely not having anyone to talk to about Zoophilia who doesnt share that same interest.

Wow, i wish i could tell someone, i would love some friends like me. But sadly, i am a very shy person, especially about my secrets. Of course i will meet new friends here, too.

I actually do the same things you do. By dropping hints. Ya see my closest friends I start out the conversation that someone online sent me a msg about zoophilia do you know what it is?

I've mentioned that to a couple of my close friends. Ya see they think they know me very well. I'd like to say different. Because they answer back thats weird or I dont know I'll have to go look it up then come back and say disgusting blah blah blah. Anyways I'm actually willing to accept this lifestyle and other people who don't can go beep beep.

Anyways society is too judgemental. Since I have a couple of guy friends who are gay and their funny as can be and know about style. Some lady friends of mine are also lesbians. So I treat this lifestyle like those but I won't come out and say it.

There is only one person I'm friends with outside of the net that knows. I'm actually going to be speaking to my fiance about it in a week and a half when I travel to go see him for a few weeks. I'm hoping he'll understand as he says he loves me no matter what.
But yes I do hide my feelings.
Everyone knows I LOVE animals though, I've always been very passionate abut their welfare and avidly interested in all this animal. Some could assume but I come across as very much on the straight and narrow that I highly doubt anyone would suspect a thing. They just think I really love my dog, which of course I do!

Hmm.. It seems odd to me that you can like a person and an animal as well. Don't you think it would be awkward liking both? Hey, but what do i know, i didnt know people could like both. Learn something new every day i suppose.
