With this in mind, it makes me curious about other types of "sexual deviancy" which can be quickly criminalized. Anything considered "weird" (outside the standard state-sanctioned sexual conduct) could be used as leverage against people.

The difference, at least as far as a live animal is concerned, is that an animal can't legally consent.  I know the law in WA used to be against sex with a resisting animal.  I think that was changed after the fellow died of an overdose of horse dick.

You are right, animals cannot grant or withhold consent (I wrote briefly on the double standard of Zoophilia and Industrial meat in another thread, please check it out if you can).

But the general point I was making for this topic is that it is too easy to target a paraphilia and outlaw it - even if consent is involved. Doesn't Great Britain have a law which bans all types of necrophilic pornography, including fantasy necrophilia (like ridiculous films of people mating with sexy bodies covered in fake blood)?

As an addendum to the previous comment, I found this fun tidbit on Wikipedia!

"Wisconsin U.S.A. (2007) - Bryan James Hathaway was convicted for having sex with a dead deer. The court case raised some interesting legal issues because the statute prohibits sex with animals, but not with carcasses. The defense raised the issue that if a dead animal was an animal, at what point would it cease to be an animal?"

Restrictions on porn is kink shaming. I'm being oppressed.

This is "generally" true!

Example: In 2005 after a guy died from being fucked by a horse, his friends were put on trial. Since there was no law against sex with horses and since there was no evidence of physical abuse, the group was only charged with trespassing. However, across the U.S. new legislation was passed criminalizing sex with animals. According to legislators, it was one of the quickest laws to pass because absolutely no one brought up counter arguments against the law. Instantly, sucking donkey dick can land you in prison.

Would this be catalogued under Zenarchy?

oh damn, this is from 3 years ago? I hope y'all don't mind me resurrecting this

Is there a general thread for Schools, Unschools, self-schooling, and other autodidact shit?

I want to see a thread containing syllabi on courses that are not yet taught, premised upon things not yet here.

Hey, this is my first post in this forum  ~! I'm uncertain what the protocol is in a Discordian forum, but I'm pretty sure (almost) anything goes?

If you hate the industrial meat industry but still enjoy eating plenty of beef, pork, and chugging milk, there is still a way to help a marginalized demographic: by becoming an advocate for Zoophilia.

Unfortunately, we have laws in the United States which criminalize the pleasures of horse dick. Now, I don't have a particular interest in sucking a horse or getting fucked by a dog, but I do have a friend in Tennessee who is in a sexual relationship with a goat! The taboo of sex with animals is usually justified as sexual/physical abuse. Especially since animals don't have much capacity to communicate or withhold consent.

However, as a culture, we have a double-standard: The Meat and Milk Industry impregnate their cattle and swine without the consent of their animals. Often, artificial insemination uses invasive procedures. In a cow, you are supposed to jam one arm into the vagina, and then the other arm down its anus in order to navigate the sperm injection. Remember, milk produced by animals is only made after impregnating them. Compared to a human dick, and arm is quite a bit to stuff into an animal. (For a more thorough and excellent argument in favor of Zoophilia, see Brian Cutteridge, "For the Love of Dog": http://www.inter-disciplinary.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/cutteridgepaper.pdf)

Now, I love to eat meat, but the I dislike the meat and milk industry. How do I balance this cognitive dissonance? By being an advocate for Zoophilia. Whenever I enjoy a steak with someone, I make sure to tell them that sex with animals is unjustly criminalized. The double standard is gross. The U.S. allows agro-businesses to rape animals while my friend has keep his goat-lover a secret or risk prison. Please consider becoming a zoophile advocate to help our fellow animal lovers, especially if veganism seems like a difficult option for calling attention to evil corporations.

(There is, of course, a larger current of sexual politics at play, but I'm gonna keep it short for now)
