==Destigmatization of Bestiality==
Modern researchers zoophilia, from the Masters ( . English  the REL Masters ) ( 1962 ) and ending with Andrea Beatz ( 2002 ), come to the following conclusions:

Emotions, relationships and motivation should be the [[Portal:Main|main]] aspect of studying a problem. It is important to evaluate not only sexual intercourse as such, but also the nature of the act itself (Masters, Miletsky, Beats).
Emotions, feelings of zoophiles and caring for an animal can be genuine, related, authentic and, as the animal needs, mutual, and not only serve as a substitute or a sign of their expression (Masters, Miletsky, Weinberg, Beats)

Most zoophiles have (or have had) sexual relationships with humans, along with [[zoosexual]] ones. (Masters, Beats)
Currently, the [[society]] is significantly misled about the problem of bestiality and its aspects. (Masters, Miletsky, Weinberg, Beats)
Contrary to popular belief, in practice there is a significant popular or "latent" interest in mating and sexual behavior of animals, bestiality, both imaginary and real (Nancy Friday, Massen, Masters).
Significant differences between zoophilia and [[zoosadism]] are emphasized by all of these researchers.
Masters ( 1962 ), Miletsky ( 1999 ), and Weinberg ( 2003 ) note and comment on the serious social harm caused by many common prejudices about bestiality.
Despite the fact that the results of modern research are consistent with the claims of supporters of destigmatization of bestiality, the public remains hostile to the idea of sexual relations between humans and animals.

Supporters of the revision of views on bestiality argue that the relationship between humans and animals can go beyond sexual relations, which is confirmed by research, and that animals, in turn, are also capable of forming genuine intimate relationships that can last for a relatively long time. time and functionally do not differ from any other love-sexual relationship.

Some researchers argue that at least some species of animals are capable of mutual sexual contact with humans.
