3.0 out of 5 stars At least I know Im not alone, June 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Horseman: Obsessions of a Zoophile (New Concepts in Human Sexuality Series) (Hardcover)

I've been a zoophile my whole life and constaintly asked myself "Am I the only one?" Reading this book gave me a sence that there are others like me out there. Honestly though I cannot compare my life to that of Mr. Matthews. After all, everybodys life is different. But the one thing I can connect with Mr. Matthews is the feeling of love and togetherness with an animal partner. I cannot say that this book was the best thing that I've ever read, but it gave me a lukewarm feeling that I'm not the only one out there who finds animals sexually attractive.In the meantime, I'll be waiting for the next book on Zoophilia that happens to hit the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally: Acceptance., April 7, 2000

This review is from: The Horseman: Obsessions of a Zoophile (New Concepts in Human Sexuality Series) (Hardcover)

I've lived all of my life attracted to other species, and during much of my adolescence, I would spend long hours alone at the zoo, just watching certain animals exhibit their gracefulness. I liked the monkeys especially, but it was so difficult to watch them in peace without being disturbed, since 'everyone loves monkeys'. Of course, I learned the full extent of that phrase in "The Horseman," and I finally realized that my Zoophilic tendencies were not completely unusual. Thank you for creating such a wonderful book that celebrates sexuality of all types, even interspecial. I hope one day this novel may reach the the top of the best sellers list.

2.0 out of 5 stars Scarey book, somewhat not good for zoophile, February 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Horseman: Obsessions of a Zoophile (New Concepts in Human Sexuality Series) (Hardcover)

Though this book does show some good things about zoophiles, I also find that it could damage some newbie zoophiles because it does make a bad impression that all zoophiles are large and have a lot of problems. I do not say Mark Matthews is a bad person, just I do not support his book.
