Here are my thoughts on this subject.
I don’t think it is wrong to pleasure an animal manually, because if it were wrong, it would be wrong for vets to collect semen from animals.
I do think it is wrong to have sex with an animal, but not because an animal is harmed by it. I feel that animals lack the mental complexity necessary to sustain psychological injury due to non-forced sexual encounters. I do, however, feel that the act of bestiality (having intercourse with another species), creates an emotional pair bond between the human and animal, with the sentimentality of the relationship burdened almost entirely on the human. Since companion animals do not live as long as we do, we suffer because we must watch them grow old and die. When we have emotionally bonded to them through orgasmic stimulation, the pain we feel from there death is greatly amplified. This is the only truly “dark” side of zoophilia, which all zoophiles must deal with.
It isn’t the animal that gets hurt, it’s the human. But as long as a human who engages in bestiality knows that they will suffer terrible grief when they loose there companion and takes full responsibility for that consequence, who am I to tell them they shouldn’t behave in such a manor? They already know the consequence, so badgering them will do little good.
The other downside to zoophilia is the fact that animals cannot be as emotionally intimate with us as another human can. You can’t sit and hold a conversation with a horse or dog, much less plan a life together. I think this leaves zoophiles unfulfilled, especially if they are exclusively zoo.
I thought it might be a good idea to stray away from the animal element of this topic and explore human element for a moment.
