alt.sex.bestiality FAQ

This faq has been slightly reformatted by Valadan. All information is still present, I have merely cleaned it up a little for web viewing. Enjoy!


Introduction

Welcome to alt.sex.bestiality! Many of you are probably wondering about this newsgroup and / or may have lurked for a while watching the numerous messages pass through this forum. As you may have seen, topics here are diverse, ranging from vegatarianism to religion and from politics to accounts of personal experiences, but all topics here relate to bestiality and / or zoophilia...normally <grin>. Alt.sex.bestiality isn't moderated so we are prone to off topic posts, but generally we run a good ship! You are asked to please refrain from making off topic posts or responding to them. You are expected to act maturely, to post responsibly, and to follow the guidelines of 'netiquette'. If you do so, you shall be welcomed warmly! Onto the questions though. This -is- a F.A.Q.! :^)

The Questions

  1. What exactly is alt.sex.bestiality here for anyways?

    Have a question about your pets' sexual behaviour? Have a question about how to have a safe and mutually pleasing sexual relationship with your animal companion(s)? Maybe you're just curious about -why-? That's what A.S.Best is here for, as well as anything else you may wish to ask about or talk about related to inter-species sexual relations. Even if you need to talk to someone about being an animal lover, that's part of what A.S.Best is here for as well. Many beastialists/zoos here have already felt and dealt with the pressure of being in the minority and are very willing to help out a fellow animal lover. Besides being a discussion forum, A.S.Best also serves as a site where zoos and bestialists can often find stories and infomation about sexual contact with animals.

  2. What is bestiality? Zoophilia?

    Bestiality is, by textbook definition, sexual contact between a human being and a non-human animal. Zoophilia is, by textbook definition, an emotional attachment to an animal that causes a human being to prefer a non-human animal as a companion and / or a sexual partner. These definitions are generally accepted around here :) Many zoophiles have extremely close, emotional relationships with their non-human partners and many bestialists enjoy the pleasure they can give and receive from their lovers.

  3. Do people on this newsgroup actually have sexual relations with animals?

    You bet'cha! :^) Many here are quite proud of that fact as well! There are also many here who have not had any sexual contact with animals but who are eager to do so. There are also those who are not interested in having sex with animals but enjoy the stories and discussion on this newsgroup. All are welcomed and encouraged to contribute.

  4. How many people have sex with animals?

    This section written by Redvane Fox

    There have been various studies but to my mind they are all flawed or dated. The most famous is that of Alfred Kinsey et al in the late 40's / early 50's USA which reported that 8 percent of men and 3.5 percent of women had "on some occasion, had sexual contact with an animal." In some rural areas, the figures for males were as high as 50 percent. However, this was a time when the chances of a 16-year-old farmer's son getting a human partner to do more than hold hands was virtually nil. Thus, animal contacts would have been more common then than now. Also, given the decline of farming in America and Europe and the increasing urbanisation of populations, I would venture a guess that there are somewhere in the region of 2 to 4 percent of men have had some sort of sexual experience with a non-human. Masters and Johnson reported less than 2 percent of women had sexual contact with an animal (dogs mainly) but others have estimated that the true figure was probably higher (let's face it, if someone comes up to you and asks "Do you fuck animals?" would you give them a straight answer?)

    It's also important to know that for very many people who do have sex with a non-human in, say, adolescence, they don't carry it on into adulthood - it's a teenage experiment, part of exploring the wonderful world of sex. Two of my friends have (over much beer) admitted to me that they've "played around" with animals when they were teenagers but went on to have "normal" hetero partnerships (although they both said they had no regrets and might try it again if the circumstances were right). Of people who have had sex with animals once, liked it and stayed or those whose attraction to animals was there from the very beginning is perhaps less than 0.1 percent of the population. To quote Midas Dekker's "Dearest Pet":

    "Earlier in this chapter I estimated the percentage of human beings that have sexual experiences with animals at a few percent. If you include in bestiality only the people who have sex exclusively with animals then the percentage falls far below 1 percent. Bestiality requires imagination and people with imagination usually have no flies on them. On the other hand, if you drop the requirement that for sexual contact something has to be inserted somewhere and that something has to be fiddled with and it is sufficient simply to cuddle, to derive a warm feeling from each other, to kiss perhaps at times, in brief to love, then bestiality is not a deviation but the general rule, not even shameful, but the done thing. After all, who does not wish to be called an animal lover?"

  5. What is considered an acceptable post on this newsgroup?

    We ask, of course, that you first of all, remain on topic, (Refer to #1 if you have questions about what is on topic.). Please post responsibly. This means please do not flame! Intelligent, mature statements will be regarded and responded to in a like manner. GRAPHIC IMAGES (GIFs, JPEGs, etc.) ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE HERE. Please post all graphics images to alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.bestiality. If you do not receive a.b.p.e.b., you can post to alt.binaries.pictures.tasteless. I repeat, do not post them here. Erotic texts (stories) are acceptable material but please try and not post too much material all at once. Otherwise, feel free to join in the conversation or start up at thread of your own. We don't bite...hard :)

  6. Isn't sex with animals unethical? Blasphemous? Cruel?

    This topic is often discussed on A.S.Best because it concerns many here as well as those who stumble onto this group. A.S.Best often receives flames from those who believe bestiality must involve cruelty or who believe it's unethical for any number of other reasons. At times like these, the people here have overwhelmingly voiced their disapproval for those who do abuse animals and have defended the love they have for their partners with a vast number of viewpoints, backgrounds, and platforms.

    The discussions on this topic remains quite verbose though and has no place in this F.A.Q.. If you do wish to get a discussion going on this topic, or any other for that matter, do feel free to do so as long as it is done in a responsible and respectful manner. You'll find so long as you conduct yourself reasonably, your viewpoints will be respected and addressed intelligently.

  7. Can I make my animal pregnant by having sex with her or vice versa?

    Absolutely not. Because of things like chromosome counts, body temperatures, pH and genetic codes, human animals cannot impregnate other animals nor can non-human animals impregnate humans. However, if you do wind up impregnating your lover, or you lover impregnates you, call me immediately! I could make, that is make you, a bundle selling your story to the tabloids!

  8. Is there a way to meet with others from A.S.Best?

    If you'd like to meet other animal lovers in your area who may be reading A.S.Best, you can post a message indicating where abouts you are. It is strongly advised you not be too specific though, (by giving info like street addresses or city names.). Information such as your home address and / or telephone number should be reserved for private mail correspondence once you feel comfortable with the person(s) who may contact you.

  9. Is there a way to post anonymously?

    This section written by Zippo

    The anon.penet.fi server (which is in Finland.. hence the .fi) takes your mail, strips off your address, replaces it with an annonymous account # and then either posts or re-mails it for you.

    It's pretty foolproof and people can even send mail back to you by mailing their reply to your anon account #. But it relies upon the integrety of what ever servers your mail has to go thru to get to and from the anon.penet.fi server. If anyone reads your mail they can identify you.. but with the volume of mail that passes thru most servers it would probably be hard for an unscrupulous sysop to pick you mail out of the flood.

    To set up an anon account at anon.penet.fi you mail them the following message:

      To: [email protected]
      From: <your real name / address>
      Sub: <anything>
    ----------------------------------
    <anything>
    

    (note: the row of "-" represents where the body of the text in the mail starts.)

    If you want to set up an account AND get a guide book from the person operating the system send:

      To: [email protected]
      From: <your real name / address>
      Sub: <anything>
    ----------------------------------
    <anything>
    

    This will also set up your anon account if you dont already have one. You can now use your account to post and send e-mail anonymously. To do that you send the following type of message:

      To: [email protected]
      From: >your real name / address>
      Sub: >anything>
    ----------------------------------
    X-Anon-To: >the address or usenet group name you want to post to>
    
    <the body of text that you want posted>
    

    Simple non? The "X-Anon-To:" part has to the first line in the body of your text, and that tells the server where to re-direct you mail to. If you want to post to several recipients you seperate their addresses with a ", " and the server will send your mail to each of them.

    If you want to set up a nickname that will get added to your anon account # when you mail or post send the following message:

      To: [email protected]
      From: <your real name / address>
      Sub: <your desired nickname>
    ----------------------------------
    <anything>
    

    The name you enter as the "Sub:" line will become your nick name and will be printed as part of the "From:" line when the anon server posts your mail.

    You can also get a password to your account.. post the following:

      To: [email protected]
      From: <your real name / address>
      Sub: <anything>
    ---------------------------------
    <your desired password>
    

    Whatever text you've entered as the first line of text in your mail becomes your password. Keeping this to 8 characters or so would probably be a good idea. You use your password like this:

      To: [email protected]
      From: <your real name / address>
      Sub: <anything>
    ----------------------------------
    X-Anon-To: <the address or usenet group name you want to post to>
    X-Anon-Password: <your password>
    
    <the body of text that you want posted>
    

    You can remove your password but I cant quite follow the instructions on how to do it.. here they are verbatum from the help text that I recived a while back:

     > If you find this is too much of a hassle, and don't care too much
     > about the confidentiality of your anon id, you can set the password
     > to "none", in which case the server doesn't require you to have a
     > password.
    

    The problem I have here is I cant tell if they want you to mail to [email protected] as you did to set up the password, or if you send mail to [email protected] with the "X-Anon-Password:" text as "none" or some combination of the two.

    Valadan's note - this is intended for setting up a new account. You simply set your initial password to "none" and never need to send one. This is nessecary because you cannot post without setting a password. I would reccomend one simply because without it it is easy for others to masquerade as you!

    The last thing you need to know about anon.penet.fi is how to get in touch with the sysop. Mail to him like this:

      To: [email protected]
      From: <your real name / address>
      Sub: <anything>
    ----------------------------------
    <your message>
    

    Or if you wish to be anonymous to the sysop you can mail:

      To: [email protected]
      From: <your real name / address>
      Sub: <anything>
    ----------------------------------
    X-Anon-To: [email protected]  
    
    <your message>
    

    I recomend that you send a message to [email protected] to get the instruction text from the server. It has some additinal texts about the suggested use of the server, info on other languages and perhapse will cover something important that I missed out. Nuff said.

  10. How can I get started having sex with my dog? Horse? Platypus? :^)

    There are three sections on how to have sex with various animals included in the P.I.P.s (Periodic Informational Postings) to A.S.Best.. The first is 'How To; Equines,' posted on the 20th of every month. The second is 'How To; Canines,' posted on the 24th of every month. The last is 'The ScalySex FAQ,' for those interested in integrating reptiles into their sex lives. This P.I.P. is posted on the 28th of every month. All three are also available from Remus Shepherd. If the critter you're most attracted to is not covered by any of the aforementioned guides, ask on the newsgroup. Someone may be able to help you. If you would like to contribute your own knowledge about the critter of your affections and write a 'How To' guide, please write me to express your interest.
