Looking for friends? (self.zoophilia)
submitted 2017-02-10 06:12:36 by Crazy_ManMan Not a zoo, but a friend.

I am not sure if anybody is still active from when I used to post here over a year ago I think it was but I am a non-zoo ally (I am actually asexual. I think anyway, somewhere on the spectrum at least). I find I like to explore other ways of experiencing the world and I have pretty much dried up my options for zoophilia as far as research goes so the next logical step is to make a few friends in the area. I have done similar with other sexualities, such as various members of the BDSM communities and even pedophiles and a number of other groups including an ex convict and various individules inflicted with different mental disabilities, (basically any marginalized or hated group I find interesting to learn about) but I have somewhat neglected making any zoophile friends. To try and avoid a making a text wall I will keep it simple, we can game (I have steam and skype), exchange emails, be facebook friends (I use a pseudonym for my Facebook account not my real name), or if you are uncomfortable with any of those options just PMs here on reddit. It would be pretty standard friendship but with more open communication. I want the raw human emotion and experience that data alone can not provide. More than you the zoophile, but you the human being with a full life beyond zoophilia. So I am open for you to vent/rant/chat/etc to whomever is willing. I can understand any level of mistrust given I am just some random guy but I am hoping some will be willing chat. Most get along with me easily and though I can not promise to be the coolest guy you know or to have awesome advice, I can promise I am not going to judge you and will always be open to listen to what you need to say. So any takers?

Edit: going to sleep soon but if I do not get to responses today i will tomorrow.

glad to see you're still around, you always were a good contributor here. i wasn't up late enough to see this last night, and i admit i don't know that i would have been up for late night PMs either, even if i had stayed up. i have a hard time keeping in touch with several good friends as it is... i hope you find what you're looking for. i guess if you want to drop me a PM, go ahead, but understand that it's not likely to be a fast-moving conversation.

Thank you! :) I was always half worried I was an unwelcome outsider :D I do not mind a slow moving conversation. I will send you a PM. :)

I feel like I'm being used like a collectible action figure. Ok I have a gay a transsexual, a few straits this rare true Polly now all I need is the elusive zoo and I collected them all! We are not Pokémon and although it would kick ass to have powers we are human just like you. Friendship should be based on if someone is awesome in your eyes and you value them and hold them dear to your heart; not based on someone's sexual preferences. #NotAPokémon

I understand that, I do not intend to force friendships in any way, but I can not find friends if I do not go looking either. The whole point of this is to get to know the human side of this all after all. :) I value all of my other friends of different backgrounds and their unique viewpoints make them even cooler friends.

Agreed. This whole "offer" feels incredibly patronizing -- lump us in with pedophiles, convicts, and the mentally disabled, then offer us friendship as if we must all be a bunch of friendless loners with low standards? It's a hell of an introduction!

We're not that desperate for friendship. Really.

I'm always up for a chatter, but because of the risk attached to connect "as a zoo" with game accounts, or facebook, that would be out of the question.


Seperate this from IRL or things that connect to your IRL However like @BeastOmatrix said:

I'd love to make a friendship if there is a connection.

Sure, I will send you a PM and see if we get along. :)

I appreciate the outreach, but am having a hard time tying BDSM or mental disability back to one's sexuality, and as you mentioned I'm a bit wary of sharing broader life details with strangers on the internet. Nevertheless, I appreciate people who are at least openminded enough to offer!

The only related factor is the social stigma. This other groups are generally "undesirables" or otherwise marginalized, which makes them that much more fascinating to me. I am sure if somebody ever saw my web history they would have so many questions. XD I understand being wary as well and do not blame you one bit, but if somebody is willing to take he risk it would be appreciated.
