This Kink Isn't Normal, Right?
TW: Sexual Themes, Weird *** from people, animals... ð¤¢
I'm writing here because I genuinely cannot get this stuff out of my mind and I need someone to help me out with this. I consider myself to be someone who is very sex positive and well as someone who doesn't kink shame, but idk about this. Not even sure if this should be considered a kink or just a problem mentally? Not to come off as rude but I'm very shocked right now. Apparently there are people who fantasize about intercourse with real animals. I'm not talking about pet play or anything like that, REAL animals. People have tried to tell me it's okay as long as they keep it inside their mind and don't act on it, but I'm not sure. I feel like fantasizing about real life animals is just plain wrong. I'm generally fine with basically every kink, I understand that fantasy is different from reality. No matter how weird a kink is, I'm cool with it as long as everything consential and no one's doing anything illegal. But I cannot approve of this kink, I just can't be ok with someone fantasizing about intercourse with real animals, it's my line, as well as fantasizing about real children. These things are genuinely *** in my mind and I feel like if you fantasize about it, you need mental help. I don't mean to sound rude, but it's what I believe, genuinely. So, the thing is, people agree with me, right? Everyone agrees that these two topics are off limits?
(I'd hope that whoever answers is someone who also knowledgeable on kinks and so, can give me a more idk, knowledgeable answer.) (I'm someone who doesn't disprove of kinks, it's just fantasizing about real animals and real children that I don't agree with.)
@lemontea113 the whole thing of fantasizing about animals in that way is zoophilia and yeah it isnt right. like you said animals ad children are not topics that should be related to sex
Thank you. I felt like I was going crazy lol ð©· I'm staying away from reddit.
@lemontea113 good idea lol
I'm not an expert or anything but I've done my amount of research on kinks online, and that's what I have to say about the subject:
I personally think that the key for what's acceptable as a kink is actually quite simple, and that's consent. Anything, as weird as it might be, it's fine if it requires consent to be practiced and is under the law. I think professional help is very welcoming in any case of non-consensual fantasies that cannot be practiced without violating the law or other beings, and that's because of the limits of keeping it onto your head versus acting,
I can exemplify with two main scenarios involving people with those fantasies, and why both would need help, acting or not.
1. The person with non-consensual fantasies don't have a moral consciousness about it, or isn't able to make reasonable judgments (aka don't see the wrong in that, for whatever reason), which means someday they might act on their thoughts, even if they say they won't, and that's dangerous and illegal, affecting their life and others negativelly
2. The person is morally conscious and never would commit a crime of this nature, but still has fantasies. For this person then, those thoughts then cause a lot of distress and shame, which doesn't harm others but will end up affecting their life significantly too.
I don't see a scenario where this wouldn't affect at least one person, and considering that kinks of an non-consensual nature might stem from trauma, early exposure or whatever reason, I think it's safe to categorize non-consensual fantasies that are illegal or harmful as a mental illness.
*That excludes non-consensual fantasies that could be practiced with consent (like CNC in BDSM, but that's practicable with previous consent, thus, not harmful)
Hope my thoughts help you feel more validated on your feelings, I believe they have a very reasonable ethics to them.
@cyanHuman4654 i agree on the consent thing but directly relating to this you need to remember under a certain age you cannot give consent and animals cannot give consent
Exactly why consent is the point :) Unable to give consent/ non consensual = unpracticable
