Excellent link. I like the author's analysis of existing zoo-literature, and actually discovered some new ones.

Fantastic article! It is nice to see someone being pro-zoo and backing up their arguments with plenty of evidence and research. I discovered some more studies to look into as well. Great find!

Lol, I thought it was good but hadn't had the chance to make it to the end so I hope I learn about new studies too!

This is an awesome read! Those novellas sound very interesting.

I know that my zoosexuality is partly behind my attraction to radical philosophies that critically examine what it means to be human, because being zoo has forced me into immediate conflict with the unconscious norms of our civilisation's culture regarding sex and nature. We desperately need more out-of-the-box analysis of these topics - "queer ecology" and "ecocentrism" sound like the best things to come out of humanities academia in years! The "stallion/gelding complex" is a fascinating idea which suddenly makes sense of so much of the zoophilia discussion.

The name, though - it's utterly bland. Freud at least had the preexisting connotations of Ultimate Holyness and Stark Debauchery to draw upon.

I quite liked that, I only skimmed a lot of it though because I don't much care for literary analysis, but the books sound interesting, I had heard of Bear before, but not Lady Into Fox.

Can someone provide a mirror?
