Zoophilia

These are ads from a French AIDS awareness campaign. Caused a stir when they were shown in the classroom today as part of a presentation. When I looked at the pictures, and people were talking about accpetance, I wasn't thinking about the ads.
I was thinking of Xoophilia - a sexual preference for animals. Now the above pictures are manipulated using a computer, so no one will question the ethics.

Brace yourself



That, many will question. They will be grossed out by it - probably even feel like retching. There are others who would be indifferent, some would find it funny, and a select few would get turned on.

Zoophilia has some primitive appeal that cannot be ignored. Although taboo for explicit discussion, overtones of Zoophilia exists everywhere, even in nursery rhymes and fairy tales meant for children. Shocking? How many stories can you remember where a person marries an animal in a fairy tale?

Guess I made my point. The above ads are another example... look at old Vengaboys CDs, full of images of lions and rhinos and other animals fucking each other. Our stories, our literature, our movies are FILLED with covert references.

The Durex Sex Survey did not include a section on Zoophilia, but This site has a pretty detailed survey. People prefer animals from foxes to antelope to dolphins.

Although not accepted, this is the sorry reality. In India, we are not even that open to homosexuality, but we are heading in that direction. However, in the northern states, to use an accurate word "companionship" with dogs is a VERY common thing. Imagine in a country of our size, even if a small percentage of the farmers have sex with their livestock, it will still amount to a large number of people.

Like it or not, people have a sexual preference for animals. Like everything else that we are forced to accept, will we accept Zoophilia too?

Now comes the crux of the argument - trans species organ transplant. May seem like a sudden twist in the tale, but stick (bad pun, by no means intended) with me here. taking a liver from a pig is no big deal now - there is a raging argument about transplanting hearts, kidneys and other such organs. The ethical, moral and social repurcussions are being considered.
There are many people who are born infertile. Their spermatogenesis is flawed and they cannot generate enough sperm. Testicle transplant is a totally possible process. There are two kinds of cells, without going into the scientific details, these are (a) nurse cells that feed the (b) stem cells that make the sperm. As long as you put human (b) cells into any animal's testicals, and transplant them back, humans can generate their own sperm with the testicals of other animals. The byproduct is that some animal sperm will be generated too. Treating the testicles with chemicals and radiation so that they do not produce animal sperm might harm the eventual production of human sperm, so humans are better off having a few animal sperm in them. (Please note: animal sperm cannot fertilize human eggs, if you are worried about that). The technology to do this exists even today... only the ethics are questioned.

The reverse process also exists. Imagine a widow preserving her husband's testicals after his death and using the stem cells in one of her pets - she can concieve his children - through an animal. If she is Zoophilic, she will have real sexual gratification.


Larger point being made, imagine everything we'd have to accept in the future?
