For about 10 years now I’ve been hyper fixating on dinosaurs as a target of erotic fantasies and dreams. Yes. I’m serious. And yes, I think bestiality is abhorrent. But literally the only sexual attraction I’ve been experiencing have been exclusively towards dinosaurs (well dragons too). I have been expressing this online and have been getting death threats and heaps of harassment for this. I just want confirmation that I’m not crazy or a danger to animals

Hi there, Gadfly. I'm sorry that you have been harassed and have been experiencing death threats. Can I help you be more selective about where you ask sexuality questions? Unfortunately, there just really aren't a lot of safe places or wways to do that online.

Honestly, since one of these is imaginary and the other is extinct, there's clearly no cause for worry about doing either group harm with your thoughts or anything else.

Where should I ask them?
Also unlike lgbt resources I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything about or anyone that experiences the same situation as me which is a bummer. Like there’s tonnes of stuff mentioned in sex ed about non-hetero attractions but when it comes to something weird like animals there’s pretty much nothing. I mean, any info about it is usually from people that endorse animal abuse, which I don’t want to read. Either that or a single wikipedia page. It’s very hard to find any sort of info on whatever niche ‘sexuality’ I have.

Where have you been asking? And what history do you have with the place or people you have been asking? Where is safe usually boils down to who is a credible source of sexuality information and support and/or you having a history with a groups of people or a place that lead you to believe that even if that place isn't the latter by design, it still might be a safe place to ask about sexuality.

So, the thing about attraction is that when we talk in sexuality about attraction, we mean about a) real things and b) actual things. That might be part of why you haven't seen things around this, but have seen information about bestiality. This is about fantasy, which can involve arousal, but not so much attraction since again, extinct and imaginary.

I'm not sure what information you really want with something like this: can you say more? After all, again, there's nothing actionable around any of this, unless what you're thinking about is something like what role play might look like with something like this between people?

A random note for you, Gadfly: an author named Chuck Tingle has written nine VOLUMES of dinosaur erotica. And these are pretty popular!
