    Uh unfortunately that’s not true, people do actually fuck animals and have since time immemorial probably. Just this year there was a case in my country where they’re prosecuting a dude that sexually assaulted his dogs and filmed it.

    Also being a dumb teenager with unrestricted internet access in the early 2000’s, I’ve seen stuff I would have preferred not to.

      i’m not saying nobody has ever done bestiality but the rare un-faked examples have to be extraordinarily rare. like all the animals people talk about it with, besides like sheep are dangerous and these people would be assaulting them, probably while naked. no fucking way people manage to do that at any appreciable rate.

      but there’s a lot of fictional depictions of bestiality, a million lurid rumors and taboo tales. makes you think it’s more common & possible than it is, but there simply never were ‘donkey shows’ or bestiality executions in ancient rome.

        I happen to have a textbook that has some citations for the incidence.

        Kinsey and colleagues found 8% of men and 3% of women did it at least once, and 17% of men raised on a farm (all self reported). This was in the 50s, but more recent studies have also found that a fair number of people have done it at least once. The large majority only did it once or a few times, often as a dare, initiation, or out of curiosity. And clinical zoophilia (where it’s the primary means of arousal) is extremely rare and usually has a lot of comorbidities.

        It doesn’t happen often, clearly, but the research we have suggests that it’s common enough to where you almost certainly have met someone who has done it.

        You, uh, got like any evidence to support a negative?

          there needs to be evidence of donkey shows, evidence of welsh people fucking sheep, evidence of Catherine laying a horse, and evidence of coliseum bestiality, before i should take any of that seriously

              You’re not going to find photos of it

              gee i wonder why, despite cameras existing the entirety of their alleged existence? i’m being assured there’s loads of video and camera evidence for every other bestiality so why would this be different
