FBI & The War on Porn:

This is a must read from the Huffington Post on FBI Agents who have nothing better to do than watch porn as part of their job description. This passage was particularly interesting:

I started out with bestiality fetishes as my specialty. In the course of my research, I checked out Web sites with beautiful women [bleep bleep] horses, snakes, cows, dogs, monkeys, sheep, donkeys, goats, pigs, and occasionally necking with a giraffe or humping a camel. Unlike regular commercial movies that are shown in theaters, online pornography doesn't include any disclaimers, such as "No animals were harmed during the making of this film." There are no overseers from the American Humane Society. Nor are there any complaints from People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Q. So tell me, did you get aroused?

A. Actually, yes, I did, but I was aroused only by the women, not by any of the animals


I've debated the gay rights issue pretty thoroughly and sometimes the (very insulting) bestiality analogy gets invoked. I realized that there are people who do have sex with animals, and clearly some folks have the ability to enjoy the behavior. I've long wondered, though, whether any *bestials* really do exist (I don't know). And by that I mean, not merely people who can enjoy the behavior, but who are primarily or exclusively attracted to animals, not humans.

When it comes to bestiality porn, long before I read this story on the Huffington Post, I've concluded that the vast majority of the people who *dig* bestiality porn are not *bestials* but rather heterosexual men who get off watching women do it with animals.
