==Venereal Disease==
Most human disease (including those which are sexually-transmitted) simply cannot survive long in the bodies of other species. This means that one cannot catch an STD directly from the animal, although if an infected person has recently had sex with an animal and then an uninfected zoo later has sex with that same animal – especially if protection was not used in either case – in that way STDs can be spread, therefore it is considered wise not to allow one’s animal lovers to be polygamous unless you absolutely trust the individual they are being ‘shared’ with.

It was once believed that having sex with certain types of animals could cure various STDs. This is now known to be a myth and the practice of going out and ‘fencehopping’ with someone else’s animal can sometimes result in cases of infectious disease.

However when being intimate with one’s own animal (who is cared for properly and not shared with others) the risk of contagion is much lower than that which is observed in human-human sexual contact/
