Editing Social Aspects & Zoophilia (section)

== Sex with animals is immoral / unethical. ==

That may be the case now, but it has not always been and will not always be so. A few decades ago, homosexuality was frowned upon and despised by society. Nowadays, with few exceptions, homosexuality is accepted by our society. Otherwise, I recommend taking a look at the oh-so-chaste Bible. Anyone leafing through an older complete edition will be taught better with regard to morals and ethics. Among other things, the first midwife in [[history]] was a pastor's daughter. That's right, in the past it was perfectly legitimate for priests to have offspring. So a thing that is considered highly immoral in the Christian world. Likewise, almost all women have been banned from the Bible and the Catholic world and replaced by men, where the names were replaced by similar ones from the world of men. Apparently very morally justifiable.

Elements of zoophilia can be found in the earliest mythologies, folk tales, and in the various cults and religions. In the fine arts and [[literature]], too, zoophilia was and is again and again the subject of representation. While in our culture the zoophilia is met with aversion, in other cultures even the religions demanded coitus with &quot;holy&quot; animals as a cultic service. Today's symbol of medical ethics, the snake, was a living snake during the Aesculapian cult that was used sexually by girls and women in the temples of Aesculapius - &quot;Aesculapius&quot; is a Latinized form of the Greek god of medicine Asclepius .

In Japan, sexual intercourse with animals was hardly ever disapproved. Sexual occurrences of this kind were generally not encouraged, but no severe bans were issued. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20070113165626/http://zoowiki.zetapin.de/index.php?title=Pferd horse] plays a special role in the imagination of the Japanese woman. The ancient expression &quot;Uma-tawake&quot; means doing nonsense or foolishness with a [[horse]]. In Japan, however, this word is also used quite generally as a term for zoophilia, sexual intercourse with animals in general.
