A Case Study of Preferential Bestiality
Archives of Sexual Behavior, 2009Co-Authors: Christopher M. Earls, Martin L. LalumièreAbstract:In a previous article, we presented phallometric data to illustrate a case of preferential bestiality or zoophilia (Earls & Lalumière, Sex Abuse: J Res Treat, 14:83–88, 2002 ). Based on the available literature, we argued that a marked preference for having Sex with Animals over Sex with humans is extremely rare. In the present article, we describe a second case of zoophilia that challenges the widely held assumptions that men who have Sex with Animals are generally of below average intelligence and come from rural areas. In addition, we provide a brief review of a burgeoning quantitative literature using large groups of zoophiles recruited from internet sources. Although estimates of the prevalence of zoophilia are not possible at this time, it appears that zoophilia is not as rare as once thought and shares many features with other atypical Sexual interests.

The predictive ability of childhood animal cruelty methods for later interpersonal crimes.
Behavioral sciences & the law, 2018Co-Authors: Christopher Hensley, Joseph B. KetronAbstract:Research on the topic of childhood animal cruelty methods and their link to interpersonal violence is sparse. Most of the studies that do exist focus only on the frequencies of different methods of childhood animal cruelty. Only two studies to date have examined the predictive nature of these methods for later violence toward humans. One of these previous studies found that drowning and having Sex with Animals were predictive of later human violence, while the other found that Sex with Animals and the age at which the offenders began committing animal cruelty were its only statistically significant predictors. Using data collected from 257 anonymous self-reports by male inmates at a medium-security prison in a Southern state, we investigate the predictive ability of several retrospectively identified childhood animal cruelty methods (i.e., drowning, hitting/beating, hitting with rocks, shooting, kicking, choking, burning, stabbing, having Sex, and starving/neglecting) for later violent crimes toward humans. Regression analyses revealed that recurrent (i.e., more than once) childhood animal cruelty and stabbing Animals were the only statistically significant variables in the model that predicted recurrent interpersonal violence in adulthood.

The Predictive Value of Childhood Animal Cruelty Methods on Later Adult Violence: Examining Demographic and Situational Correlates
International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology, 2011Co-Authors: Christopher Hensley, Suzanne E. Tallichet, Erik L. DutkiewiczAbstract:The present study seeks to replicate Tallichet, Hensley, and Singer's research on childhood animal cruelty methods by using a sample of 180 male inmates surveyed at both medium- and maximum-security prisons in a southern state. The purpose of the current study was to first reexamine the relationship between demographic and situational factors and specific methods of childhood animal cruelty. Second, the correlation between an abuser's chosen method(s) of childhood animal cruelty on later recurrent acts of adult violent crimes was reinvestigated. Regression analyses revealed that respondents who engaged in frequent animal cruelty were more likely to have drowned, shot, kicked, or had Sex with Animals. Those who had grown up in urban areas and those who did not become upset after abusing Animals were more likely to have kicked Animals. Respondents who covered up their abuse were more likely to have had Sex with Animals. Sex with Animals was the only method of childhood animal cruelty that predicted the later commission of adult violent crimes.

Contemporary understanding of zoophilia - A multinational survey study.
Journal of forensic and legal medicine, 2019Co-Authors: Damian Jacob SendlerAbstract:Abstract Introduction People with paraphilias have Sexual interests that are unusual, including inanimate objects, places, or individuals (children, corpses). This study explores zoophiles (=PSA, people who have Sex with Animals) recruited from the Internet. Method We administered a survey of own design via the Internet on popular discussion forums targeting the communities of PSA. All responses were quantified as the percentage of agreeing with one of the possible answer choices, plus the interpretation of qualitative data that may have been supplied in additional space. Results Survey questions were thematically categorized into four groups — worldview, personal space, Sex life, and online space. PSA are remarkably self-aware of their Sexuality and recognize that their behavior is illegal (even though they perceive it as an expression of love); they often relate their struggles with finding social acceptance to homoSexuality, believing that one way of de-stigmatizing them would be to remove zoophilia from the list of disorders listed in the DSM. Concerning Sex life, PSA believe that the quality of Sex with Animals is much higher than with humans, and physical features, such as the presence of a fur, can be Sexually arousing to PSA, especially when seeing Animals in public. PSA utilize the Internet to network and connect with other PSA; these Internet-based friendships usually do not extend beyond online conversations, given that PSA tend to be mistrustful of other zoophiles particularly in the area of personal safety. Conclusions One of the most essential basis of zoophilia is relationship seeking behavior as well as interest in forming a long-term relationship with an animal partner.

Similar mechanisms of traumatic rectal injuries in patients who had anal Sex with Animals to those who were butt-fisted by human Sexual partner.
Journal of forensic and legal medicine, 2017Co-Authors: Damian Jacob SendlerAbstract:Abstract Sexual pleasure comes in various forms of physical play, for many it involves stimulation of the vagina, while the anus for others; some enjoy both. A recent report by Cappelletti et al.1 shows a meta-analysis of cases describing anal trauma due to Sexual fisting in human partners. This clinical article reports four cases of males diagnosed with zoophilia, and who received anal Sex from Animals, resulting in injuries. Surgical and psychiatric evaluations are summarized. Unusual etiology of Sexual activity with Animals caused peri-anal trauma in men who engaged in anal Sex with dogs and farm Animals. Injuries to patients who receive anal Sex from Animals are mechanistically similar to fisting-induced rectal damage. Among zoophiles, the mode of harm occurs through blood-engorged, interlocked penis that causes tissue lacerations upon retraction from an anus. In people experimenting with fisting, repetitive stretching within anal canal and of external sphincter causes the internal injuries. The mode of physical stimulation explains the extent of injuries in fisters vs. zoophiles: in fisting, the pressure applied by hand is controllable proximally around and within anal sphincter, while penetration by the animal penis is unpredictable and occurs within the proximal anal canal. Forensically, the findings presented in this article describe a significant mechanism of injury in fisters versus passive zoophiles. These descriptions may aid in clinically differentiating pleasurable and pathological rectal stimulation.
