Yikes.New York magazine's Science of Us blog published an interview today with a 42-year-old Canadian man who identifies as a zoophile. He is attracted to female horses and is currently in a monogamous relationship with a mare named Ms. C (but he calls her Sexy Knickers). Everything about the interview is incredible.
To begin, he explains that he's had an interest in horses since the age of seven, and became sexually attracted to them around the age of ten or eleven. "Everybody else was stealing their dads' Playboy magazines," he says, "but I had a book called The Big Book of the Horse." He continues:
It was a very interesting book — everything you ever wanted to know about horses. At the time I didn't really think of myself as different or unusual; it was just what I was interested in. I wasn't going to go broadcast what I was doing, but I also wasn't thinking to hide. I feel like my sexual development was bang on — I just had a different affection.
This article is chock full of things I did not need to know about.
