Paedophilia and necrophilia should obviously be illegal, though. The former's quite obvious and the latter...that's just wrong.

Zoophilia seems extreme and totally abnormal to me but I wouldn't quite classify that as a psychological disorder. It's just an odd preference.

What about zoophiles acting on their urges though? Read this and let me know what you think. I started with quite a horrified view (and still have one to an extent, but I'm trying to be open minded about this, that's the point of this thread) but after reading a couple of the replies questioned my stance slightly.

And what about if paedophiles didn't act on their urges and just kept their attractions to themselves? Would you have a problem then?

I can't dictate someone's thoughts for them and if paedophiles have urges, then there isn't really anything anyone can do about it. It's downright disgusting but seeing as people don't choose their sexual urges, acting on that sort of thought should be scorned upon. The thought is slightly different.

Zoophilia is a pretty horrifying urge as well, particularly given that an animal obviously has no say regarding the matter. I would never judge someone for it though. Nobody chooses their sexuality. It may not be exactly normal but they'd obviously rather have more widely accepted sexual attractions.

I dunno. :/ It's a difficult subject. I'd have to look far more into it to form a more valid opinion on it.

(just saying i think all are disgusting and should be illegal tbh(

I see what you're saying but I think we could all agree that those thoughts are probably best not acted on.
