Other Paraphilias
Last updated 10 November 2021
These resources are for paraphiles other than MAPs – zoosexuals (zoophiles), necrophiles, erotophonophiles, etc. Some of these resources may contain anti-MAP attitudes or perpetuate stigma against MAPs. Use these resources at your own discretion. If you have any suggestions for this article, please contact us!
It's important to remember that paraphilias are part of sexuality. Paraphilias are not mental illnesses.
Open MAP Community (onion) welcomes all paraphiles who are also MAPs or MAP allies. Freak.university (onion) and Nnia.space are fediverse instances that welcome all paraphiles.

Safety

The ZETA principles are widely accepted guidelines for the ethical treatment of animals by zoosexuals developed by Zoophiles for Ethical Treatment of Animals. Not all zoosexuals believe in or abide by the ZETA principles. These ZETA principles were adapted slightly to suit OMC's style.- Bestow upon animals the same kindness one would wish bestowed upon oneself.
- Consider the well being of an animal companion as important as ones own.
- Place the animal’s will and well-being ahead of one’s desires for sexual gratification.
- Teach those who seek knowledge about zoosexuality and interspecies sexual activity without promoting it.
- Discourage the practice of interspecies sexual activity in the presence of fetish seekers (non-zoosexuals).
- Censure sexual exploitation of animals for the purpose of financial gain.
- Censure the practise or promotion of animal abuse.
