Editing Saint Zoo (section)

== Background ==
Chihiro Hamano, having endured over a decade of physical and emotional abuse in a romantic relationship, became disillusioned with traditional ideas of love and sexuality. Her personal trauma catalyzed a desire to investigate alternative expressions of intimacy and power. This journey led her into the world of zoophilia, which she explores in ''Saint Zoo'', seeking to understand the complex relationships some individuals form with animals.
