Petism?

Okay, if you are under the age of 18, or suffering from heart problems, or a pregnant woman, don't click this link. In fact, just don't click that link. It's gross.

Like Turge Babonet, I have a feeling that BeastMatch, the (hopefully) world's first Beastiality Dating Service, is some kind of weird Internet joke. But just in case it's not...we should hook these guys up with the Furries.

Seriously, let them have sex with a big guy in a pink panda suit, and leave all these poor dogs, cats, horses and (dare I even say it?) gerbils alone.

Oh, and thanks to my good friend Cory for the link. I don't know how he found that site...and I kind of don't want to know. I have to hang out with this guy.

It is spelled bestiality, although it is not best.

All it is, is another step. It is the ancient categorical distinctions, designs, being perverted. Perverts, need something to pervert, categories like male and female, animal and human, child and adult, etc. Homophilia, zoophilia, pedophilia, necrophilia, etc.

"A number of contemporary movements,including the animal rights movement (with its idea that man is no higher than animals), also exemplify the confusion. As animal liberationist and founder of PETA Ingrid Newkirksays, “a rat . . is a pig ... is a dog ... is a boy.” There are movements to break down the barriers between generations: Witness the recent change in the definition of pedophilia and the publishing of the double Journal of Homosexuality issue, “Male Intergenerational Love” (an apologia for pedophilia). Thus we see animal confused with human, sacred confused with profane, adult confused with child, male confused with female and life confused with death--all of these traditionally the most profound of distinctions and separations, are now under seige."

Childishness and sexual taboos

You make an interesting argument (and have, I must say, a very interesting blog)...

But I'm still gonna have to go ahead and say that animal sex should remain taboo, whether or not you're an uber-mensch, if only because animals cannot express whether or not they want to have sex with a person. And any consensual sex is a bigtime no-no in my book.

Unless it's just a passed-out chick. Then, do what you want.

(NOTE: I'm just kidding...There are limits to what I'll do to a passed-out chick)

(NOTE 2: No, no, I'm just kidding again)

Consent cannot be the real reason that you want to keep that sexual taboo, given what is done to animals without their consent. I.e., hunting, butchering, etc.

Unless you are against all such things done to animals there is another rationale or basic moral intuition that you must be supporting, other than consent.

I wonder, can you tell what your reason is, other than consent? It is always interesting to see if people can see a reason for their own moral intuitions.

1. Petism is natural. It's not perverted or sick or wrong. Not in theorey, anyway. (To me) It's the idea of loving your pet as if it were an equal. Most people think of their pet animal as a member of the family; well with certain animals (mostly dogs) that emotional bond can cross into sexual territory, where ultimately one's love is expressed for one's pet in a sexual act. I'll add that to some people it's just another weird fetish to cross paths with but for the great majority of petists out there it's more than just a cheap thrill.

2. Consent isn't even an issue amongst moral petists. It's not a question; it's a must. Some people who aren't quite as moral as others (read: those who treat their pets not as equals but as inferiors) will tie their pets down and use them as they will, but this is not an act of love, this is using a poor creature who can't really fight back. The animals are more than able to show consent shown by the mere fact that in the males they usually are the ones provoking the sex on a constant basis. I have my own feelings about females' sexuality and since it is harder to guage their consent I try to steer clear of this topic as much as possible.

3. Taboos are stupid. We should simply follow the laws and let people do what they want as long as nobody is getting hurt (emotionally or physically). Putting limitations on things like nudity or forms of sexual expression just because we think it's gross is not fair imho, and anyone who condemns without understanding should have to suffer the same treatment by their peers as well.

Unfortunately, Anony, I suggest you may be one, two or all of these things.

I see nothing wrong with this practice. The dog seems to initiate the act by sniffing a woman's crotch. I let it go further than just a sniff, don't knock it till you try it.
