I would just like to say that I am bitterly disapointed that I wasn’t consulted on this.
I have a question, which I ask with a great deal of trepidation.
Did Cecil answer the question?
Say Scylla, would you happen to have any knowledge of how the concept of Pan, the goat-boy with the five barrel flute, came to be would you? I only ask since you state your location as “ancient Greece”. Of course there are some other questions I could think of to ask, but it’ll have to wait. 
Y’know, suddenly I don’t feel so bad about “the incident” with my cousin…
I second your question.
Well, sure. I use to be a nymph myself. The fact is that either Zeus or Hermes (depending on who you ask) were fooling around with a wood nymph and the nymph begat Pan, with his goatlike appearance. Everybody made fun of him for his looks, so he went to live in Arcadia, where he chased nymphs around protected shepherds and generally provided the functions of God of the woods. When he stamped his foot in anger it made such a sound as to terrify all listeners, thus creating a “panic.”
Pan fell for this flighty water nymph (Naiad) named Syrinx, but she wanted nothing to do with him, and ran away to hide in a river where she got magically changed into a stand of water reeds.
Pan felt pretty rotten about the whole thing, so he took some of the reeds and formed his pipes from them.
The whole hollow reeds thing and the nymph Syrinx is where we get the word “syringe,” and others from.
Syrinx was kind of an airhead though, so don’t feel to sorry for her
No. Cecil really didn’t answer the question. He kind of worked around it, though. Whatever the figure used to be, apparently it’s lower now.
It’s not exactly feasible to get an accurate statistic on this kind of thing. If they asked for a show of hands, and you boinked a terrier, would you admit it?
Oldscratch did.
Steven
who in the Hell is Oldscratch???
And I don’t think thats something too many people want to admit, because I think it would eventually limit their choices of ‘human’ contacts once people found out. I mean c’mon really, who wants to go where some beast has been…I once saw a video on a download site of a lady going at it with a German Shepherd…twice…
I get grossed out when a male dog jumps up & starts humping someones leg!!!:eek:
You don’t really want to know do you? I assure you that knowledge would cross into the realm of TMI.

Warning, heresy to follow …
Another disappointing column from Cecil. It seems that when a question involves a lot of work or offers no simple answers or an answer which might prove to be wrong (gasp), he trudges off to the library to dig up some colorful anecdotes from the medical journals to titillate the readers. Allergic to dog semen? … hoooboy! How does that help answer the question, Cece?Thirteen percent of the population has actively engaged in zoophilia? In the absence of supporting evidence, which surely, Cece would be able to find, I can only assume that he is on vacation from the fight against ignorance. 1 in 8 of the total population? It’s absurd, and he should have said so.
Anyone up for a thread entitled “Questions Cecil answered, but didn’t really answer?”
Someone inquiring about what percentage of the population is out there in the world having “their way” with barn yard occupants should stir up some questions. Like WHY is somebody asking this question. Are they perhaps fishing for an answer that would legitimize some bizarro thing they’ve done sexually to some unexpecting animal?
Flyfisher, I think you are on the right track with that one!!! Either that or the whole concept turns them on so they have to inquire about it to get the thread started so they can get their jollys reading about it…I would like to know the true statistics on that one, or better yet I would like to catch someone in the act so I could embarass the crap out of them!!! Ha, imagine the disgrace on their face!!!
**Mtgman - You don’t really want to know do you? I assure you that knowledge would cross into the realm of TMI. **
Now I have two questions…Who is OLDSCRATCH, and what on earth is TMI?[SIZE=1]**
Cecil’s column reminded me of a joke I heard on a George Carlin CD:
“Why does the farmer have sex with sheep at the edge of a cliff?”

“So the sheep will push back.”
TMI is Too Much Information (also called Oversharing), Oldscratch is a currently inactive poster, and unless you really really want to boil your brain in bleach, don’t ask any further.
If, on the other hand, bleaching your brain sounds like fun, follow the link. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Any recitation of Kinsey statistics must be tempered with the knowledge that he obtained all his info from interviews with and questionaires given to human beings. He did not have video cameras installed in barns.
So any statement like “some 17 percent of the farm boys in our sample had had some sexual contact with farm animals…” really should say, “17 percent of our sample claimed they had sex with farm animals…”
So are the figures likely to be high or low? That is, do people exaggerate or demur under such circumstances? And if you think that one tendency might cancel the other, that’s a pretty big assumption, too.
And Kinsey’s data was only a sample. Darrell Huff, in his classic book, How To Lie With Statistics says about Kinsey:
Furthermore,
My answer to the reader’s question would be, “Definitely maybe.” But that wouldn’t have the charm of a Cecil answer, nor would it fill the column quite so snuggly.
Are you joking around, a psychologist or better yet some sort of pseudo-intellectual? Actually it was me who asked that question, and the reason for doing so was that the figure was indeed too “high and absurd” as someone else on this board put it. Please! You’re reading too much into this.
I would think that the most common form of zoophilia would be smearing peanut butter all over your genitals and then having your dog lick it off.
Whatever the number may or may not be, I am guessing it has gone up recently. The reason for this guess? I constantly get “spam” e-mail inviting me to “check out this hot barnyard action.” I have yet to actually go to investigate, but apparently there are people who do this type of thing and then put pictures of the act on a porno site.
I also had some guy (via Aol instant message) ask me if I ever “did stuff” with my dog. He said that he and his wife do it all the time and that thier dogs enjoy it.
I think it is animal abuse, and really, really yucky.
anyrae- “I think it is animal abuse, and really, really yucky.”
Well if you’re talking about penetration, then that WOULD BE abuse. But if its just giving your dog some peanut butter from an uncoventional location, I have to disagree.
It’s NOT abuse because the dog enjoys it. The dog is happy, the owner is happy, what’s the problem?
