heh... BulletMagnet ... I am still in the research collection phase of the book. I have a survey posted in several places but as you can imagine, the interest in taking the survey is as I said in the post... people are in fear of "Coming Out" because it could put them in a precarious situation.
Also, males seem to be much more open when it comes to discussing sexuality than most females are so the majority of survey completions have been from the male set... which makes statistical analysis complicated.
So far, I have come up with some good ideas for the title:
"Animal Nature: A Closer Look at Zoophilia", or
"Animal Nature: An Inside Look at Zoophilia"
When the book is published, it will be for sale mainly online I would imagine as such a topic isn't generally seen in Barns & Nobel ( lol )
Ghost, everyone has their own interests and tastes but a snake ?!?! ( lol )

De-fang it and give it a snorkel and I'd be set.

That is a bit funny
I too have seen such acts online with eels, snakes, and even fish but in all actuality (and I had to look through many pages of my research to find this), such acts could/would be considered acts of abuse.
As someone (known only as “Allan”) had once written in an article (edited due to language barrier):
:
"Eels, wet skinned reptiles... are considerably different from us. Aside from the obvious, there is another hidden difference we are usually unaware of, and that is their skin. Most breath through it and have very sensitive nerve receptors in it and are extremely sensitive to touch and must be kept moist.
Where our skin is not nearly as sensitive, it too needs to be kept moist but thousands of fractions less. We excrete salt, ammonia, and fatty acids. Our entire bodily surface is covered in this, and more so on our hands. When we catch a frog, it struggles to escape, but when we touch it, it fights extremely fierce. Ever wonder why it fights so much harder only when we actually touch it?
Imagine some on catching you, but then slowly dipping your hand into a bucket of warm mixed acids, the pain will be incredible wouldn't it? This is exactly what happens to the frog or eel, or any other amphibian.
Just by the very touch you force it to endure insurmountable pain as the texture on our fingertips tear at the sensitive lining on the out side of their skin.

With snakes (even if they were of the harmless variety) sex would not only be forcing, it would be causing their suffocation. Personally, I would not call that Zoophilia but rather, Zoosadism.
One thing I forgot to mention in the lengthy post is that zoophiles have adopted a code of ethics which is generally abbreviated as "Z.E.T.A." and is often seen (especially in jewelry worn by some zoophiles) as the lower case 6th letter of the Greek alphabet.
Although the origin of this code is unknown, it was not adopted as "Set" rules but as a sort of guide-line. These "rules" are not actually "dictating" what one must or must not do as a zoo, rather, they are defining what "should" be considered right and good.
Z.E.T.A. stands for:
"
Zoophiles for the
Ethical
Treatment of
Animals" and is as follows:
:
1. Bestow upon animals the same kindness one would wish bestowed upon oneself.
2. Consider the well being of an animal companion as important as ones own.
3. Place the animals will and well being ahead of ones desires for sexual gratification.
4. Teach those who seek knowledge about bestiality and zoophilia without promoting it.
5. Discourage the practice of bestiality in the presence of fetish seekers.
6. Censure sexual exploitation of animals for the purpose of financial gain.
7. Censure those who practice and promote animal sexual abuse.

These can always be added to but should always remain putting the well-being, feelings, and desires of the animal before one's own.
Skillyaslig, so it would be “Cow Shaggers” now ? ( lol ) - - just kidding.
It is like I have told numerous people before, the jokes have to come from some where and if it wasn’t a reality, there wouldn’t be such jokes. I even heard the song by AC/DC called “Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap” that had the words re-arranged to “Dirty Deeds, Done With Sheep” ( lol )
Not only that, simple insinuations, innuendo, and references can be found in many TV shows, movies, art, and music.
I have always enjoyed threads like this because it shows that people are starting to open up a little more to what is out there in the world.
The world would be a much better place if more people would learn tolerance and love and lose the prejudices.
