"What It’s Like to Date a Horse
“To this day it was the best sex I’ve ever had. But in some ways I regret that first time.”

Bestiality, the act of having sex with an animal, tends to conjure images of a mucky, socially inadequate, desperate farmer sneaking into the barn after dark, or depraved groups of thrill-seekers forcing sex with drugged, abused, or otherwise mistreated animals (like the case of Douglas Spink and the animal-sex-tourism farm in Washington State).

Here, a 42-year-old man from Canada describes his life as a zoophile attracted to female horses.  

When did you first realize you were attracted to horses? Do you have a horse “coming of age” narrative?

The first time I saw a horse I was 7 years old. There was a carnival in a parking lot across the street from my house and it had a parade of them walking around in circles. I begged my parents to let me go so I could ride the ponies, but when I got on a horse’s back I was absolutely horrified. I bawled my eyes out. I think I was bothered by how awful the situation was for them. All they did was go 'round and 'round; I could sense something about that in their attitude. 

Did you experience sexual feelings?

No, I was only 7. I started to notice horses in “that” way when I was about 11 or 12. Everybody else was stealing their dads’ Playboy magazines, but I had a book called The Big Book of the Horse.  

Your Playboy?

Essentially. 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. 

So the book aroused you? Did you masturbate over the images of horses?

Oh, yes. And later I’d go to pre-internet online dial-up forums and that’s where I came across bestiality porn. And I didn’t realize it was abnormal at that time, but the comments attached to those pictures were all going on about how disgusting it was. I was 13. So that would be when I was first aware that I was different. I grew up in the city, so I didn’t have much access. I always was on the lookout for horses when I was traveling. I saw farms that I’d have loved to go explore, but they were never near my home. Sometimes I wonder if I just lacked the courage. 

This was during puberty. Does that mean it’s fair to say that your sexual awakening revolved around horses?

Yes, absolutely. 

Did you have sexual feelings toward humans as well?

No, not until later in high school when it came to be the expected thing. But I didn’t get that close to anybody until I was about 20. 

When was your first kiss?

My first kiss was from a man named Mark. He was aware of my sexual preference and interested himself in dogs after a fashion. That was about two months after I lost my virginity, so I was about 22. In all honesty, I’ve never liked kissing men; rough beards do not turn me on.  

So you had your first kiss after you lost your virginity? Did you lose your virginity to a horse or a human?

A horse. "
