Heya -
I'm a zoophile between 20 and 25 years of age. My hobbies include hiking, running, and spending time with my companions. Anyway, on to my story...
My parents didn't like dogs and naturally that rubbed off on me to some extent. So I never had the opportunity to discover my attraction to them until later in life. I actually have the furry community to thank for helping me discover my sexuality. My first exposure to the concept of bestiality was an old animation by a popular animator of pornography on a ubiquitous website. Even though I was brought up Mormon (and all the sexual baggage that comes with that) I found myself more intrigued than repulsed by the depiction of canine bestiality that I witnessed. I truly believe that's the moment where my zoo feelings began to emerge. Or, at least, the moment I began to take notice of them.
Skipping ahead a few years, I started dating and got my first boyfriend. He owned a lovely GSD mix. Playing and interacting with her made me realize that dogs are actually pretty awesome companions! After that relationship came to its end, I decided that I wanted a dog in my life. I should note that at this point I was still fairly ashamed of the urges. I had never acted on them and promised to myself that I never would. That swiftly came to an end after adopting an incredible senior dog from a shelter. A few months after getting to know him, I finally took the zoo leap. I never felt more disgusted with myself than after that first time. I absolutely despised myself as a person and thought that I was nothing short of a freak who couldn't control his urges. Well... despite hating myself, I couldn't stop myself either. As time went on, things progressed further and further until, at last, I had managed to deprogram myself. Zoophilia is nothing to hate myself over. I wasn't hurting him and he certainly didn't seem to mind the treatment I was giving him. So, what's so bad about being a zoo? I consider myself extremely lucky for having gotten over the self-hate phase relatively quickly that some zoos struggle with for so long.
Last year, I decided that I needed to start meeting or at least talking with fellow zoos. So I did some searching and came across Zooville. It was incredible. An entire forum where people just like me could talk and interact! Even better, they had a live chatroom which better suited my style of interaction. Those first few months were probably some of the happiest of my life. I even met my future (ex) boyfriend there and executed a plan to meet. Meeting another zoo and discussing things with them face-to-face was nothing short of incredible. Unfortunately, around that time and later afterwards as well, I began to become disenfranchised with the zoo community as a whole. Constant exposure to what I considered animal abuse constantly being touted as "hot" and shared amongst the ZV community began to wear at me more and more as the days went by. I withdrew from many of the chatrooms. Eventually retreating into a select few private ones until a falling out with one of the members resulted in me pulling out entirely. I've been inactive in the community for almost a year now. But after some time, I began to crave being a part of the community again. After a recommendation from a zoo friend I'm still in contact with, I've decided to sign up here.
I am lucky enough to have two incredible canine companions in my life. I used to have three, but unfortunately the had senior passed away after only being in my life for a few short years. Even though he was only with me for a short period of time, I find myself endlessly thankful for the time we spent together. One thing I have the zoo community to thank for (prior to withdrawing and isolating myself) is that seeing how some treated their companions made me want to improve and give my companions the greatest time on Earth as I could reasonably provide.
tl;dr: I'm a practicing zoophile in love with canines. I have two incredible dogs in my life. I dipped into the community on Zooville for a few months before isolating myself from the community for a number of reasons. I've recently decided to start participating in the community again and joined up here after a recommendation from a friend. I am looking forward to meeting you all.
Wishing you all the best,
ZoobyDoobyDoo
