paraphilia? zoophile?

well i was young, probably 13, i was just curious and not having any females friends to inspect, i decided to go look at the family dog. now she was a short haired dog, not one of those with fluffy fur. and i got to looking at her vagina and i was surprised at how much it looked like a woman's privates, it had the labia, the vaginal opening, it was very well defined. i can't say i wasn't attracted to that dog. that was one fine bitch!

i just don't know if this is wrong. she looked so much like a real girl it was astounding, i can't imagine a man not being attracted to it.

So are you asking if you have a paraphilia?

Well only psychiatric personnel would be able to tell you for certain.

I suppose that if you wanted an uneducated guess I’m sure we could provide that for you.

I pulled this off of the DSM-IV it offers some of the basic conditions for diagnosis of a paraphilia.

Paraphilias all have in common distressing and repetitive sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors. These fantasies, urges, or behaviors must occur for a significant period of time and must interfere with either satisfactory sexual relations or everyday functioning if the diagnosis is to be made. There is also a sense of distress within these individuals. In other words, they typically recognize the symptoms as negatively impacting their life but feel as if they are unable to control them.

So from the little information that you provided I would guess that a child’s fascination with the sexual organs of a dog dose not make you a zoophile.

It stands a paraphilia for the way you look at it in the eyes of it being a paralell sexuality to the overall population (which clear is not interspecies, and so shall it not need be, for we are taught to preserve the future by making future generations (babies), you can't do that with interspecific mating, hence it is rarer (but not by the millions that do it)).

Para- comes from 'paralell', meaning 'to differ', 'abnormal'; 'romantic' and/or 'sexual' relationship.
However, despite being paralell, it is for certain, a 'allophilia'.

However, it is doubted that we should select 'zoosexuality', because the diversity of how many non-human animals there is, is wide.

Some researchers, including I, divide this 'zoosexuality' into different animal species/categories; for example, 'cynophile' means 'dog lover', 'ailurophile' means 'cat lover', 'hippophile' means 'horse lover', etc.

Because different animals have different attributes, this way is especially useful in our studies in the consent for animals; I myself, for your situation, questions the animal's consent. However, a dog is a highly hedonistic species.

You are a 'cynophilic', 'gynephilic' (you're male, attracted to female, no?), 'heterophilic', 'teleiophilic' (I hope the animal is mature, anyway),

The -sexual prefix only suits those whom adopt that sexuality majorly; for example, if you don't centre your choice on species (even if monogamous), but centre your choice on the sex, and select only female, you'd be 'zoophilic' 'heterosexual', however if 'heterosexuality' did not take precedence, and 'zoosexuality' did, you'd be a 'heterophilic' 'zoosexual'. I know that's confusing, this model is only adopted by the modern few and some.

You can't say any 'paraphilia' or '-philia' at that is bad or good, beyond singleton opinion. This is because despite intraspecies being the overall norm (which, in this world, is needed for survival reproduction, so interspecies is rarest (especially when zoosexuals don't add to the gene pool )). After all, we are all driven by hormones. Male hormones just cause the urge to penetrate (stiffness and scent hormones), whether it be male or female, whatever species; but usually the same-species has similar body language, posture, and stay in groups away from other species. Hence it is lesser common, because that's how the world has gone. The female, however, just gets coerced by the male, normally; however, species with higher intellect and better body language can avoid this. Through billions of years of the survival of the best mechanism, this design is only available now because it is the best for survival. If you get what I'm saying, I'm sure that is rather clear to you.

Males can have androphilia, and females can have gynephilia; like any other psychological preference, it is based on being in an environment full of the same sex / different species, etc; that causes paraphilia, usually when the hormones are being first released, at your age.

However, you can form an emotional attachment with an animal, fall in love, have sex, and marry; for as long as you both have pleasure, ethically there is nothing wrong but morals, which usually form from scientific, philosophical and religious backgrounds.

May I remind you opinion is not what we share, is what makes us perspectively unique.

Once you've selected your preference, it may be hard to not keep, because the mind does get attached to this; you can medicate your way out of this, or continue the pleasurable route you like. However, being paralell to the social norm may cause you legal and/or social threat and psychological affect in later life, so if I was you, keep in touch with your sexuality if want to, or wait until you get older, and realise whether this choice is by the mind in vivo, or by ex vivo hormones.

The reason why such a love is often a preference and not hormonal, is that some people begin their paraphilias before they reach puberty, hence people think they are gender blind / species blind / confused / a different species/gender spirit in a human body (male in your case).
