Those aren't the right words at all
and i'm quite sure this must be a widely talked about subject
but i couldnt help but to wonder how many people have actually told their friends, families or partners about their zoo ways.
Personally I still don't think i would never be able to bring myself to tell any one at all unless i was definite they could relate to me.
So who has told any one apart from a partner with the same interests? or is it something best kept to your self? Saying that why are things you don't want to be ashamed of hard to say, even when you have the utmost confidence that you are completely correct to follow your feelings?

:wacko: damn the human brain and its idiotic categorizing of right and wrong!

majority rules?
bah

the way I see it we're a product of de-evolution, being able to think as much as we do is not a good thing...

oh yeah, topic...


I'm too afraid to tell people upright but I have places online that mentions it

e.g. MySpace/FaceBook Blog thinger and such

since I'm so anti social over all I think only one person noticed, maybe more but they've completely ignored it if they did. btw that person stopped talking to me lol

oh well

In my opinion some things are best kept to yourself, unless you are absolutely certain of the outcome of telling someone. Loving animals is highly taboo just about everywhere (at least in western cultures) as I'm sure you know. I've never told anyone outside this forum and probably never will.

That seems to be the general trend in how people think
every one has been brought up with these "taboo's" some are fair enough i know, but some are only wrong because some one at some point said they were.
I'll probably never tell any one.
but thats how i feel now, and im quite young.
i know that peoples look on life changes as they get older and they tend to not like keeping secrets so much. Especially from people they're close too.
so who knows
I dont think i know of any one whos told like, close friends or family
always people that have the same feelings
which i guess is fair enough ^_^

This is a very common question, there are many older topics dealing with this subject. I've probably discussed this before, but aside from this forum, I haven't told anyone about my unique interests. It's nice to be open and accepted here, talking to people who share the same interests, but I still feel the desire to tell someone I know in real life. I always feel strongly compelled to tell my sister, since she's probably the most intelligent and level-headed person I know, and I'm confident she would be understanding.

Being more exclusive toward my animal preferences, I don't pursue human relationships, and I think the people who know me are starting to get a little suspicious. They know I'm not exactly normal, but they don't really have a clue. With each passing year, it seems to get a little bit harder to shrug off the questions and change the subject.

I wouldn't tell anybody unless they asked, and even then, I would probably make up an excuse. I've heard the negative stories of people who have confessed, describing broken relationships, ostracism, and potentially hostile reactions. Being well aware of these possible consequences, it's easy to think perhaps it might be best if I kept my secrets to myself.

I would love to be able to tell someone in my life about my interests, but sadly, I doubt I ever will. I wouldn't dare let something like that slip, then God forbid, someone I didn't want to know at all finds out. Some things are better kept to yourself unless you know for a fact the other person can be trusted.

I've met many wonderful people in the furry/Zoo world, and with them I am able to share likes and dislikes. I enjoy that a lot. Hopefully one day I'll get to meet them in person. ^_^

I have told a handful of people, though of course I don't go out broadcasting my sexual orientation to one and all. It's not unreasonable to share information about yourself with others that you interact with, but it's also a good idea to be selective. So far so good for me, everyone has been accepting of it, even if they don't have an interest or even disapprove of the behavior itself. You just have to make sure you know who you're telling, and that you're sure you want them to know and prepared for their reaction, whatever it might be.

In the past I have only told a couple of people many years ago, did not go down with my now ex friend. And I have admitted my preference to one other person, he was a member of this site but passed away in April last year.

I confess! I confess! I confess, to having to have admitted to people that I do this!!! :w00t: :w00t:

i would LOVE to tell my girlfriend, and have her feel the same way, but i doubt that will ever happen.... anyway i keep my sexual pref. to myself... well, except for you guys on the board!

Its annoys me that we're forced to hide things
it should be one of the accepted sexual orientations as far as im concerned.
If your lover loves you back, and you treat them with respect, then i see no problems at all ^_^
you don't see the other animals making up rules with who they can love!

Only people I've told were actively involved as well. There is too much risk involved with telling those who haven't participated or at least interested.

Think it would be best to keep it to yourself and maybe your mate if she or he knows you are into it. After all, it is illegal in a lot of places.

A question that's come up here numerous times ........

I for one have no plans to discuss it with anyone outside this forum ..... I feel no need for others acceptance or judgement etc in the world at large ..... or to leave myself wide open to the possible disasterous consequences of "sharing" ^_^

you're forced to hide this shit cuz its immoral and wrong. and it always will be you useless peice of shit. i hope all you animal fuckers die and burn in hell.
