Who’s up to start a movement!!!

verify system to keep members safe and not let any antis in

Hello there! I’m Atticus and I’m here to hang with other anti-contact paraphiles and give Tumblr a try! I’m not very internet savvy and I’ve never used this site before, so please be patient with me, lol HEAD'S UP!: I take forever to answer messages (Both in my Inbox and in my DMs). Please forgive me if it takes me a few weeks (or months in some cases) to respond (This is not a joke I'm being fr).

About me:

🪶I’m a zoophile. However, I’m fully against acting on my attractions, as I believe bestiality to be an exploitative/abusive practice. Instead, I use fictional content as an outlet. In short, I’m a pro-fiction, anti-bestiality zoophile :)

Some Boundaries of Mine:

🪶If you consume, support, distribute material of, enable or engage in the real life sexual (or non-sexual) abuse of non-consenting parties (ie. Animals, children, etc.) then kindly stay away from me. Yes, this includes the consumption of real life gore videos. I welcome all kinds of paraphiles and those looking to become anti-contact, but I have no tolerance for anyone currently abusing others with no intention to change.

🪶Likewise, my “zero tolerance for abusers” policy applies to antis as well. Harassing others for attractions they can’t control or fiction they enjoy is an abusive behavior. If you can’t simply find the block button and move on, I’ll find it for you :)

🪶Please do not come into my messages to vent unless stated otherwise. I am very unsuited when it comes to comforting people. I’m open to sharing information/answering questions, but emotional assistance is not something I’m equipped for, and I don’t want to accidentally hurt anyone :)

🪶I don’t care how someone identifies, what fiction they consume, or what ailments they may have, as I don’t believe any of that is indicative of their character. The only thing I care about is whether or not someone is abusive to real beings. If your identity is in good faith and you're not hurting anybody, you have my support. So if you’re against things like mspec identities, endogenic systems, or things like feral art and lolisho, my page may not be for you :)

🪶No graphic NSFW conversations with me please! I’m fine with more raunchy humor and the like. I’m not fine with things like people looking to do ERP with me, people asking graphic questions about my sexuality, or people coming into my DMs looking to exchange nudes. It’s great if you’re into that, but I personally am not.

CLARIFICATION: Smut blogs and hornyposters feel free to interact! I just don’t want to be directly involved in any sexual conversations. But if you’re hornyposting on the side and I’m not directly involved in it, that’s dope and you have my support 👍🏼 This isn't really a boundary I have, but another thing I'd like to note is that I block very liberally. Even if you're a good person, I'll still block if I'm not a fan of your vibes. It's nothing personal most of the time, I just like having the power to curate my space. Which is something I unfortunately don't have the power to do in my daily life

Some Things I’m Interested In:

🪶Pigeons! (If it wasn’t blatantly obvious)

🪶Biology

🪶Gardening

🪶Nature in general

🪶Writing

🪶Paraphilias!

🪶Cartoons

🪶Your mom, lol /j

My Carrd

That’s about it. Thanks for reading! :)

Of course! I as an anti-contact zoo am still attracted to animals and I still have fantasies surrounding them, but for moral reasons I would never actually do anything to any animal, and in my everyday life I treat them with nothing but respect like anyone else would. Instead I use things like artwork as an outlet to substitute actually watching/doing the real thing. That way my desires are satisfied and no real animals are hurt

One of the biggest points of being anti-contact is to accept the fact that we have these desires/urges, and learn to live with them in healthy ways without harming any other beings. Whether that be through fiction, consensual roleplay with a partner, or whatever other way you can think of. Get creative with it! Have fun! :D

I’m recently coming to terms that I might be experiencing attraction to an animal? I’ve grown up around this specific species my entire life and I haven’t really thought of them this way until the past few days. The fandom circle I primarily run in has been focused on an AU of one of my favorite characters being attracted to this species, and it’s made me start to realize things about myself.

I’m scared and worried and feeling guilty, but at least I know that I’d never want to act on this attraction. Again, I’m sorry if this makes you uncomfortable I just needed to get this out. Feel free to delete this and forget about it. If you have any advice, or could talk about what it was like for you when you realized your attraction, that could be a big help.

Hello there! First off, I’d like to applaud you on the strength it must’ve taken to be this vulnerable with a stranger. I know it’s not easy to come to terms with these things, but I’m so glad you’re able to reach out to others and look for advice/make connections. Talking to others can be a great help in times like these :)

As for my experiences, I can relate a bit to your story. I myself am primarily attracted to canines, and like you I’ve grown up with this species since the day I was born. Oftentimes I saw them as my brothers and sisters rather than pets.

I started finding canines attractive when puberty hit, but I didn’t realize this was abnormal until I was around 14. Once I realized I was different, my whole world started to look a bit shaky. Like you, I felt a lot of guilt about these feelings. I’d convinced myself I was a danger to the creatures I loved so much. And for a while I couldn’t even bring myself to look at a canine without feeling sick to my stomach…I worried about what my friends and family would do if they ever found out, I agonized over why I was cursed with these desires, and at times I desperately scoured the internet for help, advice, a cure, anything. But I was either met with scorn or a lack of resources.

It took a lot of time for me to get where I am now. I’m at a point where my desires are only a small fraction of my life. I know now that I’m not a danger to any creatures, that I can coexist with them just like anyone else can. I have two people in my life who know about my paraphilia, and they don’t love me any less. I haven’t felt a shred of self-hatred in years at this point. I’ve just come to accept that this is who I am, this may be who I am for a long time, and if I’m going to live like this for the rest of my life I may as well enjoy it :)

My best advice for you is to find peace with yourself, paraphilias and all. Once you’re comfortable in your own skin, things get a lot less difficult to navigate. One way I got comfortable with myself was by interacting with other anti-contact paraphiles. Having a community to support and defend you can do wonders in terms of self-acceptance. Another way was simply through reflection. My conclusion was this: if I’m not hurting anyone, I’m taking all the steps to never hurt anyone, and I’m simply living an average life, why should I hate myself for crimes I never have and never will commit? Once I realized that I had no good reason to hate myself, it became easier to learn to accept myself.

But above all else, I held empathy for myself. Oftentimes, I think we struggle to be kind to ourselves. But the fact of the matter is that humans are weirdos. We make mistakes. We have odd quirks. We do stupid things for the heck of it. And sometimes there are pieces of us that just don’t make sense. But that’s okay. No matter what goes on in your head, no matter how many times you may trip up, or no matter how gross you may feel about yourself, it’s important to go easy on yourself every now and then. We can’t all be made “perfect”. And that’s fine. You don’t need to be 100% perfect. If you’re not hurting anybody, then be nice to yourself. Give yourself some credit every now and then. Treat yourself as though you’re a friend in need. You’re trying your best to be a good person and that’s what truly matters. The fact that you reached out about this in the first place proves as much :)

Yeppers! I’m actually ex-pro-c myself, so I’m always eager to speak with people who’ve been on journeys similar to mine and share the lessons I’ve learned :)

I will say, however, that I’m really only familiar with the zoo side of things. I have no clue how any other kinds of pro-c para spaces operate, so if that’s the case here I may not be the best of help :/
