Now I wishI hadn’t told the story…do you guys think we can get back to talking about the question in the thread title, and forget the dog anecdote?
I don’t think we can EVER forget that story, regardless of how hard we try.
Okay, it must be asked: Did they do it doggie style?
I’m actually not kidding here. When I envisioned this taking place, I pictured the woman on her back so she could face, hold and control the dog’s pelvic action. Then it occurred to me that dogs probably are not comfortable being manipulated that way; they probably want to be in a natural doggie position when they’re doing their doggie love moves. But that would give the woman little direct control. So, I thought, let me ask and find out.
She actually said she considered herself married to the dog? That’s pretty delusional. I’d call that mentally ill, if she really did say she was married to the dog.
I’ll try to answer as non-grossly as possible.
Actually now that I think on it there is no non-gross answer.
Looking at my diary entry for that day, I see that she did say that, but it was uttered, I noted then, in a very smart-ass POV. As I mentioned she was mocking me for being far less GGG on the issue than I usually present myself.
She fucked a Weimaraner? Dude, that’s just wrong. I could see maybe doing a collie, or a German shepherd, but a Weimaraner? Those dogs are fugly.
Seriously, though, I don’t think her bestiality, while nasty, is a mental illness. However, the way she decided to share that with you raises a lot of flags for me. What’s wrong with just saying, “I like to fuck my dog?” (I mean, aside from the obvious.) I’m pretty tolerant about most people’s sexual kinks, but not at the expense of boundaries. Kath involved you in her sex life without your permission, and in a very invasive, discomforting way. That is absolutely not cool, nor is the way she mocked you for your reaction. I’d say that is, if not a sign of mental illness, at the very least a sign of her being a titanic bitch.
BTW, did she know about your dog phobia before she performed her little show?
You should totally send this into Savage Love, too. He hasn’t done any good beastiality columns in a while.
Hey, StR, no need to be squeemish, at least as far as I’m concerned. Put the reply in a spoiler box, for the faint at heart.
Frankly, I’m having no TMI-overload issues here because I’ve known my share of dog-crazy women. One of them, I estimated at 50-50 odds was doing something sexual with her dog when no one was around. So, even if **StR’**s story is total BS, I’m confident something like it happens all the time.
I would say that actually sexuality is the one category where bizarre behavior doesn’t signify mental illness. I think it’s because somehow sex is wired into the procreation stuff… the same drive that makes people do absolutely anything to reproduce and protect their offspring can be expressed in other ways. When it comes to sex, people will be fine upstanding citizens on the outside, and privately be into some really wacko stuff. Doesn’t mean they’re crazy.
The key is “privately”, as long as they aren’t bothering anybody else or intruding on their personal space. Once you’ve crossed that line, any sexual practice implies criminality at least, and probably mental illness as well.
This pinged my WTF meter, too. So. WTF?
If it helps, I always thought the homosexual necrophiliac duck was totally quackers.
How on earth, does one write an OP about watching a woman have sex with a dog, and you disclaimer it by
?
Watching women have sex with a dog is ALWAYS tmi. Always.
I don’t think not being into bestiality makes you any less GGG (particularly since that only counts in the context of a relationship.) In fact, as far as I know, that phrase was coined by Dan Savage, and his columns about extreme kink always explicitly denounced sex with animals.
I’m just saying that I don’t think you have to feel like a prude just 'cause you’re not into the whole girls-with-dogs scene.
Hmm. Every line of thought I’ve tried to follow from your analogy ultimately leads to me agreeing with you. In every case (the dog, a mentally handicapped person or in the necrophilia example), there is some form of exploitation taking place, regardless of whether pleasure is being derived. That makes it wrong, and I’ll consider my ignorance fought – thank you (and that goes to you, too, Anaamika).
Getting back to the OP’s point for a moment, however, I’m still not sure that this means there’s an issue of mental illness on the part of Skald’s friend. Just because she’s doing something wrong doesn’t mean she’s mentally ill, in my opinion.
GGG? I used to know what that meant, now I forget.
Ah, what I’d want to know was it an exclusive relationship?
(Sorry, Skald. I just couldn’t resist.)
We wanna see the puppies! Puppies! Or babies! Whatever! Cutest
erm, who else is up for this?
I would tend to think that a couple who practice Coprophilia* might not have all their faculties.
But that’s just mho.
*Coprophilia or “brown showers” is the need to smell or view feces or the act of defecation as a primary means of sexual arousal and gratification :eek:
Occasionally I run across a story (probably urban legend) about a man who fucked six rabbits and one guinea pig. Why did he stop with one guinea pig? Because it exploded.
I’m not convinced that zoophilia automatically makes one mentally ill…but combine it with coprophilia, and possibly acrotomophilia, and you may have a problem. (Especially if you find this video sexy!)
Theres nothing wrong with that. When I had a dog, that dog was part of my family. I loved that dog. But I didn’t want to fuck the dog.
Yeah, the dog-fucking lady isn’t hurting anyone, but its just plain strange that someone would do that…in front of another person, for Pete’s sake! I’d like to hear what someone in the mental health profession would say to that. Really.
