New York magazine's Science of Us blog published an interview today with a year-old Canadian man who identifies as a zoophile. He is attracted to female horses and is currently in a monogamous relationship with a mare named Ms. C but he calls her Sexy Knickers. Everything about the interview is incredible. To begin, he explains that he's had an interest in horses since the age of seven, and became sexually attracted to them around the age of ten or eleven. It was a very interesting book — everything you ever wanted to know about horses. At the time I didn't really think of myself as different or unusual; it was just what I was interested in.

But the sexual identity that can be attached to bestiality, zoophilia, remains little understood. Here, a year-old man from Canada describes his life as a zoophile attracted to female horses. When did you first realize you were attracted to horses? The first time I saw a horse I was 7 years old. There was a carnival in a parking lot across the street from my house and it had a parade of them walking around in circles. I bawled my eyes out.
The man was caught on camera apparently mounting the unsuspecting animal, which was trapped between two fences in a field beside the stables. It is alleged that after the man had committed the sickening act of bestiality he realised that he had been filmed on a CCTV camera. He is accused of attempting to destroy the evidence by setting fire to the stables in the village of Urshakbashkaramily in south-central Russia's Republic of Bashkorkostan region. They immediately checked the CCTV cameras and found footage of him apparently having sex with a horse. Police arrested the man, who is believed to have a girlfriend, although it is unclear whether she is standing by him. They have yet to make a decision over whether to charge the man, whose name has not been made public. One called "Vorchu" said: "It is a shame that the horse did not hit kick him between his legs after what he had done to it. Another called "Drakula" added: "I bet this dude no longer has a girlfriend. In September it was reported that a South African man was jailed for kidnapping and raping a donkey under orders of his local witch doctor. Ntando Mankungwini, 23, romped with the beast in a secluded area of Eastern Cape Town's Moreneng Village after a faith healer told him intercourse with the animal would make him stronger.
Not being an RM, they weren't really interested in me. I'm not so sure. Maybe you will win. I went in thinking "oh, we can definitely do this. She might want to follow the 'virgin until marriage' part, or she may personally decide to forego following that in secret. Finally, it is a very tight-knit community and despite efforts to insulate you from conversion-minded missionaries, you will be exposed to a lot of people that think, like this woman does, that atheists are without a moral compass. But what I discovered surprised me.
