How many zoos are out there?
There is no concrete, accurate answer to this question. However, here are a few ideas that have come across in hitale.
The Kinsey Report - This now-famous report has been used as the basis of many theories on person sexuality since the day it was published. Some of the information in it is accurate, but it suffers from very big statistical errors, some of which can be corrected and many which cannot. According to Kinsey, 8% of men and 3.5% of women have had some kind of sexual experience with an animal at some time in their lives. In rural areas, the figure for males rises to as much as 50% of those surveyed. It’s important to note that this report is now over 50 years old.
Masters & Johnson - They have relatively little to say on the subject, but their statistics show that 2-4% of men and about 2% of women have had some sexual contact with an animal.
There are other factors to consider when making estimates. Who would fall into the category? Many of those who claimed to have sexual contact with animals did so only once, or perhaps a few times during adolescence, but never continued the practice. Some surveys have found that people have different definitions of sex–for example, some who only received oral sex from an animal did not know that to be “sexual contact”.
Bottom line: It’s impossible to say, but it is thought that the number of zoosexuals in the general population is less than 0.1%, or less than one person in 1,000. The number of zoo-exclusive (those who only have relations with animals) is probably significantly less.
