I didn’t say animals and children are the same or that the acts would have the same impact on them. Of course they wouldn’t. I’m well aware about the impact it has on children and their development. I can imagine that this argument can involve some degree of projection sometimes, when it comes to emotional damage. but with or without it the conclusion stands.

the similarity is in that their sexuality and decision making is completely different of that of an adult human. an animal can’t make an informed, conscious decision in the way we can and they can’t properly communicate their consent. they don’t have the same capability of thinking as us and they don’t have the same language as us. penetrating an animal, say a dog, will obviously cause physical, psychological and emotional damage and distress. same with anything including force and forceful touch. coercion and training an animal to do things can likely cause distress as well, and behavioral issues since you’re encouraging unwanted behaviors. and their sexuality is not like ours. they don’t enjoy sex. it does not give them pleasure. that would also just be a projection of human emotions onto an animal. and, again, they can’t properly communicate with us. so we can never know for sure how it affects them or what it is they want. how can someone give proper consent if they can’t properly communicate? if we can’t fully understand them?

you can figure out yourself the difference in consent between different acts. fucking an animal isn’t necessary, they don’t gain anything from it and it has risks. and if you penetrate or restrain your pet it will cause damage. your animal does not want to engage in sexual behaviors with you because their sexuality is centered around reproduction and not pleasure, and even if they did you can’t know that. stop trying to justify your sickness.
