## When did you first learn you were a zoo, and how?

Posted July 12, 1995

Discussion:

It occurred to me the other night that I can't remember exactly when I first learned I was a zoo. The earliest memory I can pin a specific year on was at camp when I was 13: I was aroused by cattle urinating and defecating, and would watch for a long time for it to happen again. The next year, my diary contains four zoo entries, about watching horses mate (and dogs attempt to) in real life, seeing whales mating on PBS, and my first attempt to masturbate a dog (he'd been neutered, so he didn't come or even get erect, but he didn't resist, either). And throughout school, whenever the bus went past a farm, I would look to see if anything interesting was happening (usually not, although I think I saw pigs mating once). I can't remember whether that started before or after camp, though.

So when did you first learn you were a zoo, and how?
