<p>24.0.251.220: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Zoophilia''', is a [[Wikipedia:paraphilia|paraphilia]], and explained well in [[Wikipedia:Zoophilia|this Wikipedia article]].<br /> <br /> It is common misconception that [[furries]] are lovers of animals, and (by extension) zoophiles. It is true that a significant proportion of erotic furry artwork and stories involve beings with animalistic characteristics having sex with each other, or with humans, but it should be noted that the participants are usually [[anthropomorphic]] animals. While some furries do practice the physical act of zoophilia, the majority do not engage in any sexual contact with other animals in real life. However, some may roleplay otherwise in a fantasy scenario.<br /> <br /> ==Moral Issues==<br /> One of the main arguments against zoophilia on moral grounds is that animals cannot &quot;say no&quot;, or do not have the intellectual capability to dissent. This argument naturally does not apply if a sexual act is performed in a consenting manner with an intelligent being, such as an anthropomorphic character.<br /> <br /> Another argument is that zoophilia is a &quot;crime against nature&quot;. This is based either upon an [[Wikipedia:Aristotle|Aristotle]]-based notion of natural order or a religious precept of right and wrong in relation to nature. Such individuals probably view much furry erotica as wrong under this argument, since it may involve two beings of different [[species]].<br /> <br /> ==Zoophilia versus [[Bestiality]]==<br /> Many zoophiles draw a distinction between the term zoophilia and bestiality. They state zoophiles are lovers of animals and perform sexual acts with them as an extension of a deeper emotional and perhaps spiritual relationship with the animal. Some zoophiles consider themselves their animal partner their [[mate]] and do not date other humans in real life because they are 'taken'. Conversely, other zoophiles claim bestiality involves the forcing of sexual conduct with an animal regardless of its will to comply or consideration for its feelings.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Bestiality]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * ''[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sex.bestiality/browse_frm/thread/b26e8acbd087f127 Zoophilia and Your Health]'' (posted on [[alt.sex.bestiality]])<br /> <br /> [[Category:Paraphilias]]<br /> [[Category:Mature terms]]</div>
