I don't consider myself zoo but I have to admit it is something I enjoy looking at. I try to ignore it but sometimes the vanilla material just won't do it and I end up looking at zoo stuff. I agree with you that pokephilia is close to zoo for sure. And I am also not interested if the pokemon is not in control. I apply the same to zoo. If the dog doesn't seem enthusiastic it doesn't work for me. It is strange to draw all these lines whithin the taboo. But it is also refreshing finding someone with similar lines I guess
It is interesting that there are people who may enjoy a k9 post or two (/lh) who are not zoophiles! I usually try to stray from the word unless I mean it (especially since not everyone who follows, likes, or just lurks on this blog is a zoo!) usually using paraphiles as a catchall instead, but I do sometimes slip up sksk
It does scratch a particular itch, huh. If I hadnt been mostly going for vanilla or non-tumblr stuff recently, I would spam this blog wayyy more often rjdrhdjt
I do think that poke- and zoo- are like... siblings, if we had to make a kink/taboo/paraphilia family tree KFBSMJD. There's not a 100% overlap, sure, but I think it is in the higher numbers rather than lower
Yeah I can agree! It is interesting how I can enjoy something in one context/direction and fint it an absolute turn-off and squick in another (eg. I am a big enjoyer of noncon, but only when the nonconsenting party is either a human in human/"beast" (for brevity. Animal, pokemon, monster, creature, anything) or a beast in beast/beast stuff. But if a beast is nonconsenting in human/animal it's an instant abort ship situation for me skxksk
What I'm coming at is that it is fascinating how with kinks or just things that get one off there can be a web of different aspects, where one thing can or cannot tip the scale between "I enjoy this" and "ew wtf". Sexuality can be duper conditional sometimes hshds
