I'm very open-minded: I tolerate (and accept) almost everything especially when it comes to (true) love e.g. I don't have anything against zoophiles, gays, pedophiles or incest!
But I really hate people who are (very) close-minded/narrow-minded and just start to hate over other people even if they don't have any knowledge about that topic and won't inform themselfs before hating. Or they judge someone only on their personal feeling for that topic e.g. they say zoophilia is false because it's disgusting... that is no rational argument and those people should basically just shut up!
Is it normal?

    It seems like you're claiming to be so open-minded for attention or something. People don't have a problem with zoophilia, pedophilia, and incest because it's 'disgusting' (which it is, don't get me wrong) but because of the issue of CONSENT. Animals and children can't consent to sexual activity like that.

    And don't let's forget to mention what an extreme psychological effect sexual abuse has on children. There's nothing "true" or "loving" about it. Maybe you should inform yourself about these topics before deciding they're acceptable?

    Also I feel I have to mention that, as a gay, I find it really offensive and problematic that you group gays with those others. Not cool!

      I think she was trying to say that the groups of people in society that are widely hated on and discriminated against do not bother her, and I feel the same way, Im a furry and I'm hated on some times and it's just because People are not educated on the matter before they go into rage mode she wasn't hating on gays infect see was saying she was not against you.......

      If you actually could read, you would notice she/he criticized those who were against it because it was 'disgusting', which I am afraid dear sir/madam is an opinion. Not a fact, nor a rational argument against it.

      Your argument against it, is indeed one that is used often. But, I believe to be open minded you need to see both sides and not stick stubbornly to one side or get too influenced by your own emotions.

      Who was talking about children? A 16 year old can't consent to sexual activity? Are you mentally retarded or something? And as for animals, if they don't mind doing it and they like it why the hell not?

      Anyway those are all different categories, relax douche.

      Hmm you are another example which I forgot: A person just going with a really popular/often used argument before rather informing themselfs about the topic!

      NO I'm not claiming for attention why should I (if that was the case I could've brought up another stupid story which is completely useless).
      Besides thanks to lolol555 who explained what I was critizising for you.
      Furthermore the argument with the consent is very irrational because an animal can consent (a mature animal)! Of course not by saying yes but they have body language to express that. In addition an animal will show discomfort if it does not like it and a "true" zoophile would stop immediately then.

      To pedophilia: I never included any sexual acts I just said love... An adult can love a child just emotionally and can be sexually attracted to it but that must not include anything sexual. (same for zoophilia but there I think it would be OK to have sex with an animal which is big enough!)

      For your conclusion I have to say that less than 50 years ago gays were not accepted as much as zoophiles and pedophiles were not accepted! Besides I think that zoophiles would feel offended because I grouped that with pedophiles... In addition I think the society will someday also tolerate zoophilia (probably not pedophilia but who knows) because I think there's nothing wrong with it! Furthermore I just listed some examples of what I tolerate so it does not matter if I put zoophilia, pedophilia and homosexuality together.

      To draw a conclusion you should inform yourself before posting and read my story that careful so you understand what my point was!

    Okay...I'm very open-minded, meaning I tolerate all nationalities, races, religions, and sexual orientations. I have friends of all ages and both genders. I'm all about people doing what makes them happy, but even I draw the line somewhere. I think beastiality, pedophilia, incest & anything of that sort is just wrong. Sorry but, I'm just saying you're a bit too accepting.

      Bestiality and pedophilia could be considered as a sexual orientation... some people are dealing with that, if those could be considered as a sexual orientation rather than a paraphilia as it is classed now!

      Incest is just morally wrong in the opinion of most people... there is nothing wrong with loving your sibling as long as you don't have kids... I don't see anything wrong with that!

      Besides I'm not accepting it I'm tolerating... it's not the same!

    Totally, i have this girl in my class who's very opinionated, and it just gets on my nerves. And then i start to feel bad, cause i don't really know what caused her to be such a bitch, and then she makes it worse by saying something mean. Ugh. endless spiral of self-hate. but kudos to you for being so open-minded. about narrow-minded people, YOU CAN'T FIX THEM. seriously. don't even try. they won't listen. just think that they'll get their lesson later in life, but right now there's nothing you can do.

    I'm sure a lot of people say they're open-minded, but it's usually over issues that make them look good when they preach how open they are to certain ideas. I think you take open mindedness to a whole new level. For that you have my respect. Don't change and understand the animal that some people are.

    Uhm, I think you guys need to research the topic yourselves. Do you know where aids comes from?? In society it just isn't normal.. So what I'm trying to say is..... No, it's not normal!!!!! You guys are just trying to make your own perspectives seem logical when they're actually not.

    I actually agreed with all that you had to say in your little intro, except for zoophiles and pedophiles. Someone maybe in their twenties dating a 17 year old, that's pushing it but it's not as bad as someone who is over 18 and messes around with someone 15 or younger. And a lot of pedophiles mess around with children, that's just wrong on so many levels.

    My rule:
    Of age + consensual + mentally healthy = have at it.
    Be safe :)

      I didn't say I am not against child rape but just having a sexual attraction to childs does no harm!

      But I also except having sex with an animal when the animal is not harmed!

    I know that feel bro, it's completely normal to me. In all fairness, this is abnormal to the 'average person' but to those to understand, it's completely normal :)
    I get extremely agitated when people preach about religion and say that being gay is wrong ect. I feel to shout back at them and contradict everything in the bible, but that would be silly and irrational. I'm completely against the goverment and society because I see through their tricks and turns.
    Do you ever wonder about reality and society? Just wondering if our minds were similar :)

    People who are against something just because it is disgusting are idiots and I strongly dislike. I also agree that those strange kinks and fetishes are akin to sexual orientation. That doesn't mean we should allow people non-consentual sex, but I always feel sorry for the perpetrator almost as much as the victim.

    Because incest has no victim, I'm not against it.

    Animals cannot give consent, therefore I consider them victims, therefore I am against zoophilia.

      Hmm I agree with you as I said... but animals can consent!
      They have body language and would express if they don't consent to it!

        Sorry, but with humans "body language consent" wouldn't stand up in court in most rape cases. It has to be a verbal "yes" to count as consentual, but animals cannot talk. For this reason I would not accept "body language consent" from animals as consent, because I would not expect that of humans.

        But that is just my logic, poke holes at will if you want to.

          Hmm well if you have sex with a woman do you or she require to say yes if you get it on by cuddling, kissing or something like that?...
          Hmm and your argument that it wouldn't stand in court is stupid because neither you can say the animal did not consent so it's a little more complicated... the law is making this point irrelevant as they say having sex with an animal is abuse in every case no matter if the animal consents... That is just ignorant!

            In an ideal world, all sexual interaction between humans would start with a "yes" from all parties involved, although of course that normally doesn't happen. However, cases of mixed signals in which "nos" are ignored or misinterpreted are common due to foreplay being misinterpreted as a default "yes".

            How would you interpret an animal's body language? What body language constitutes a "yes"? How does this vary between species? We can never be sure, or even have a reasonable level of confidence, that an animal consents, because our scientific knowledge of animal body language is very low. We would need to draw specific lines at what constitutes consent.

            Thing about it from this angle. It is commonly accepted that humans and only a very small number of other species have sex for pleasure. Many species, such as lions, experiance intense physical pain during sex. If an animal could not feel pleasure during sex, and often face pain an danger during it, it must only have biological reasons for sex. What biological benefit could sex between two such vastly different species have? The answer is none whatsoever. Therefore, if we accept the theory of evolution, no animal *would* give consent, so consent must be presumed "not given".

            I assert therefore that animal's cannot give consent. As another interesting point, many animals do not give consent within their own species either; in many species it is normal for the female to be, by a human definition, "raped" by the male. If a lot of animals do not give consent even within their own species, how can they give consent to a human?

            Once again, my logic is open to disection.

              I really understand your logic but you won't call every sex act in the nature rape, would you?
              So the female might not give consent but tolerate it.
              I know it is a weak argument but as we cannot definitely say whether an animal consents or not I think having sex with an animal is fine as long as no harm is coming to that animal.

              Furthermore animals might enjoy having sex with a human!

              At least we know that we can't tell if an animal is consenting neither if it is enjoying it but that is no reason to forbid having sex with an animal as you cannot prove the opposite!
