Has anyone here seen Animal Passions? If so, what did you think about it?

I felt like there were others like me, both bolder and more secretive about their 'orientation' and perhaps I should cut ties with the ones who won't accept me as I am. I'm only 18, as of January, so I might be too young to say what to do in the subject.

If you have, when did you "come out" about being a zoo? What were the majority of the reactions you got? I've only told three people, two long-term boyfriends and an almost-boyfriend. Two of them were zoos themselves! But when people get older and more set in the ways of society, perhaps their opinions change.

Experiences? Thoughts? Comments?

while the conversation about this documentary will be fine - IF there is still an existing thread left on the subject of when one came it that hasnt been locked for underage references - then that part of the convesation should ensue there - keep this thread for the discussion of the show...

moved

As southflorida said "you have to be very carefull about any mention of underage partispation."
Some of us may have started later in life, but there are plenty of people who have not altered their activatie with animals since their first time.

is 18 underaged? not over here, but in the us i don't know

@ ManicExpressive
do you have experience?

thought it was a great documentary showing that people who are zoos are, from all appearances, "normal", everyday folks.

i've told some close friends and had no unfavorable reactions. of course, i try to feel people out a little first and make sure they aren't offended by more mainstream kink play (bondage, spanking, watersports) before telling them about my beast interests.

18 is considered "of age" in the USA

Yeah, an 18 year-old is a legal adult here. I was just wondering about the topic...

:ph34r: I would just love to come out of this closet, but I still feel there are tho's people who would use info like this to do harm. There is only my wife who knows and was shocked/curious/acceptive when i told her. That was 4 yrs ago now, still I feel that she could use this against me if our marrage went south :ph34r: <--- back in the closet I go!

Hey Manic,

I am young like you but also very legal. Even though I post many files here, I too am slowly "coming out of the closest" with this. I am not a homosexual at all ... but I can sympathize with thier feelings on keeping thier taboo orientation so secret. Then again I also view zoophilia from a humaness & veterinary medical standpoint. For example, "dildo-dog" type forced behavior is very problematic for me. A great many people rather directly by enforcing this behavior on thier own pets or encouraging it by viewing unethical foreign film producers who do this (Brazilllian, East European) are guilty by association.

I feel my feelings of zoophilia sets me apart from the vast amount of voyeurist zoos & zoos for the sake of carnal pleasure only types as well. By coming out I hope to find just another human soul to share and learn from. I get the impression it is easy to network as a human female but complete opposite as a human male. I suspect a few bad apple zoo's tend to ruin it for all of the sincere ones.

im 18 years old and completely out of the closet with my affinity for animals, while it MAY be sexualy oriented once i get a "bond" with my companions, that will not stop me expressing my love for animals in a platonic sense.

i am going to, eventually (im experiencing financial difficulties) get a tattoo on my left (or right) arm saying "zoo and proud" as well as some sort of "zoo" symbol on my back (for example, a symbol for eternity with either K94LYF (or something) or a picture of a dog's head)

personally, i couldnt care about other peoples reactions, im proud of what i am, and people can take a running jump if they're gunna criticise me for it, but the reactions that i have got have been understanding, people have been alot more understanding once i've told them that i am that way inclined. i also happen to be bi-sexual with humans, but again, i dont really care what others think, blah blah blah.

as for when i came out... it was on the 10th of January 2008, i publicly annouced to my very close friends, and to be fair, non of them criticised me for it and one even said "you have some bollocks for doing that" so yeah, i really have nothing to hide... as far as i see it, im zoo and im proud of it
