British Woman Marries Dolphin

Studies have shown that male dolphins get sexually aroused around women.

Oh dear! I think I might be a dolphin......

(Colin:) �Maybe {Sharon Tendler} was the princess of whales?�

Who recently married the long-lost Dauphin?

(Ketchup:) "That isn't what i meant.. are her motives as inocent as they sound?"

Even if they aren�t, my above post regarding 'zoophobia' stands (but for what I am not sure). 

(Ketchup:) �I�m scared of spiders, does that count?  How ever irrational it may seem.�

No, not exactly (but good thinking and I am sorry to hear of your phobia).  In this case, the term 'zoophobia' sounds general enough to permit fear of spiders but it is at times rather more specific than that.  Please, if you will, think of it this way.  For purposes of this discussion, and to narrow it down a bit, a �zoophobe� is opposite to what Wikipedia calls a �zoophile.�  I quote Wikipedia below, but bracket my comments:

Zoophilia is usually [especially by what remains of the atavistic religionists and renegade Traditionalists] considered to be unnatural, and sexual acts with animals are often condemned as animal abuse and/or outlawed as [oh no, not these again] �crimes against nature� ... However, some [especially relativistic moderns, or post-moderns] � argue that this is not inherently the case. Although research has [fortunately for the 'zero-population' gang] broadly been supportive of at least some of zoophiles' central claims, common [read: in the main ignorant] culture is generally hostile to the concept of animal-human sexuality � The activity [with animals] or desire [sexual attraction to animals] itself is [like many a so-called pathology before it] no longer classified as a pathology under DSMIV (TR) (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of [that august body of analyzers of what any modern worth his salt will tell us does not exist, the psyche, or soul] the American Psychiatric Association unless accompanied by distress or interference with normal functioning on the part of the person �

�Oh brave, new world, that has such people in it!"  Anyone for a swim?

I misunderstood what you meant... if the thought of  sexual acts with animals disgusts and revolts me then I guess that makes me zoophobic... my upbringing teaches me to respect all animals, my upbringing also teaches me that beastiality is wrong on every level.

Horses for courses I guess.
