Do animals suffer in animal porn? Is animal porn illegal?

Many people believe that animals suffer during sex with humans. Even animals like sex and can clearly express consent to sex. Those who claim otherwise have never seen dog or horse porn with a woman, but neither have they seen simple sex between 2 dogs outside in a park... Zoophile films, purely by their content, also dispel the myths about tearing off dog claws so that dogs don't scratch human actresses. Dogs have claws in movies. Sometimes they pull socks over their front paws, and the dogs clearly don't mind that at all.

In animal porn films, 95% is about consensual sex of male domestic animals - mainly dogs, less often horses and farm animals with women (rarely with men as passive anal partners). The remainder are male and female domestic animals that show no signs of stress or anxiety. These animals do it voluntarily without reward or command. They do not suffer. On the contrary, perhaps it can be observed that they enjoy it. That cannot be said of the porn actresses in mainstream films.

Zoophile films with animals under stress are not popular and are rarely made - maybe 1%. These are the extremes of the type where several small snakes, fish or bugs are crammed into a person's body. But the stress on these animals is less and shorter than, say, 300 carp in a single tub at a pre-Christmas market. Fishermen will hypocritically insist to you that the crammed carp have had enough oxygen. So imagine yourself in a 2x2m lift with 12 people for days. And with no light, because most of the carp are down in the market tub and can't see daylight. Luckily in the EU 2022, but effective 2027 they banned keeping chickens that can't even turn around in a cage all their lives.

Certainly a negligible number of animals suffer per 100 zoophile films compared to the number of suffering porn actors per 100 normal porn films. My estimate is that at most 20% porn actresses (maybe 90% porn actors) enjoy making human porn. Most porn actresses suffer more or less for money when making normal porn films. Physically and psychologically - loss of self-esteem, consequent social stigma. Sometimes also as a result of drug use often associated with the porn industry. The animal also does not carry psychological trauma or social fears from sex, unlike the porn actress.

Is animal porn illegal?

Laws in European countries generally prohibit the production or distribution of animal sex films. In the Czech Republic, Section 191 of the Criminal Code. Until 2007, zoophile porn was legal in the Netherlands and most films were made there. Now most animal pornography films come from South America and Russia.

The law here does not protect the animal (there is a separate section against animal cruelty for that), but the human actors in animal porn and their respect and psychological integrity. However, the same provision also bans all "pornographic works involving violence and disrespect for human beings" - i.e. BDSM films, rape fiction, and basically all extreme sexual practices with elements of submissiveness and dominance. Of course, this is not being observed, and in this part it is clearly a dead legal provision. In other words, the legal prohibition on the production and distribution of BDSM films, violent sex films and animal pornography is formally in place, but its violation cannot be punished.

Unlike classic porn, porn actresses in animal porn do not suffer physically. Sex with a dog lasts a few tens of seconds. In the case of sex with a horse, the porn actress always takes the horse's penis only to a depth that suits her. The identities of animal porn actresses are sometimes partially protected by a small mask. Animal porn is much less sought after and available. There is less risk of an animal porn actress being outed and socially stigmatized. It is hard to look into the soul of porn actresses or animal porn actresses when one does not know any personally. When comparing the expressions of porn actresses in ten thousand human porn films with a few hundred animal porn films, animal porn actresses suffer less in my opinion. Thus, the social danger and criminal legal prohibition of animal pornography is pseudo-moral, questionable, and determined more by history and religion. Also, what kind of lawyer would lobby for lifting the ban on animal pornography :)?

Simply storing animal or BDSM porn on a disc is not criminal, unlike storing child porn (§ 192 of the Czech Criminal Code). By the nature of the matter, the production and distribution of 3d animal porn (animated) is not punishable because no one suffers there. Similarly, the production and distribution of animated or 3D animated porn with pornographic depictions of teenagers over the age of 10 is tolerated.

Who watches animal porn

The audience will be relatively small due to the low availability of animal porn. Until sometime in 2022, more effort was required to obtain animal porn - Emule, Tor or possibly a paid membership to a site. Now, animal porn can be found quite commonly. This is probably related to the definition in European case law that simply sharing links cannot be considered as distribution of an audio video work within the meaning of copyright and criminal law. However, many people are unaware of the recent widespread availability of animal porn. Out of curiosity, anyone who has access to the film will take a look.

Only a small percentage of people repeatedly seek out targeted animal porn, I estimate up to 20% men and up to 5% women. These are generally horny men looking for extreme experiences. The vast majority of animal porn viewers are not zoophiliacs. What is interesting is the strong element of submissiveness on the part of the actress and dominance on the part of the viewer. In the sense that the woman would certainly give me a piece of her mind and obey me in everything when she fucks the dog... Extreme sexual fantasies with elements of strong dominance or submissiveness signify deviance and perhaps even sexual deviance. But that doesn't say anything about a person's mental health or self-esteem or their danger to society. Porn with adult actors, including extreme and animal porn, does not make people dangerous to society.
