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

By	Ben Wu (Hell, Minnesota) - See all my reviews

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.

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

By A Customer

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 I never thought I'd see the day......., May 8, 2000

By A Customer

I never thought I'd see the day when a book would be released to the general public about zoophilia. AT LAST! I hope this can put so many closed minds at rest and answer so many questions that those who don't understand zoophilia ask. Every day I am challenged by these questions as a zoophile myself, and it has become woefully apparent that we are grossly misunderstood by the world at large (as if I didn't know that already) With any luck, this will set the record straight about a few things in the public's perception of our lifestyle.
