Sex With Animals May Cause Cancer and Is Still Odd

Animal Rights – Hopefully this doesn’t come as surprise, but having sex with animals is looked down upon by the medical world. Recent studies published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine reported that men who took part in coitus with animals were twice as likely to develop penile cancer than those who stick to their own species.

Urologist Stenio de Cassio Zequi explained, “We think that the intense and long-term SWA [sex with animals] practice could produce micro-traumas in the human penile tissue. The genital mucus membranes of animals could have different characteristics from human genitalia, and the animals’ secretions are probably different from human fluids. Perhaps animal tissues are less soft than ours, and non-human secretions would be toxic for us” Zequi put a particular emphasis on how animal sexual secretions are not meant for human consumption.

There is, however, the opposition of the group called Equality for All, a pro-zoophilia group–yes for real. A female member of the group reported that the results of the study should warn zoophiles of the dangers of having sex with animals — but her main point was to prompt people to take precautions like using condoms and such. The zoophile community defends their intimate animal love in the face of medicine, suggesting that the dangers of engaging in interspecies sex are not unlike the dangers of same-species sex.

Sallie Graves wrote, “Expecting people who truly love animals to give up their sexuality and nature just because of some physical dangers would be as absurd as expecting gays to become straight because of AIDS. They might become more cautious… but they wouldn’t change their nature. A true zoophile can’t change their attraction and love just because of a higher or lower infection risk.”

Zequi’s study is based on a survey focused on personal sexual habits completed by 118 penile cancer patients and 374 healthy men recruited between 2009 and 2010.
