Hello all,

I'm a 18 (near 19) yo gay bottom boy.

I'm interested in the theme, but for me it's more a fantasy, altough a recurrent one. I don't know if i could face it for real -i hope this won't bother anyone here.

Sometimes, what is thought to be fantasy turns out to be real.

Sometimes what is thought to be real turns out to be fantasy.

Which is which?

Is learning that what life is about?

Your being here will not bother me.

Welcome to "the zoo."

I am also new here 6 days from turning 21

Welcome to "the zoo"

I'm just curious why they call it that

I was welcomed to the zoo just over a year ago. No one told me why it is the zoo.

What is a zoo?

From zoology?

A zoo is a reasonably safe place where the beautiful diversity of animals is accepted, affirmed and can be observed?

There was a family pastime in my youth. Twenty questions. The first one was usually, "Animal, vegetable, or mineral?"

I prefer to be an animal over being a vegetable, and am unsure about vegetable or mineral... Do vegetables feel pain?

Perhaps someone who actually knows the origin of "the zoo" will offer accurate enlightenment?

Zoology, botany, or mineralogy? For myself, I am partial for now to zoology.

I am glad to be part of the zoo. I suppose that is the natural consequence of my being a living animal, one that is glad to be who I am...

I'm not sure about the zoo reference either. I prefer circus. There is always something going on to keep your attention in one of our rings (forums) All of it very entertaining.

I suppose the zoo analogy is due to the fact that when you go to a zoo, you see all kinds of different animals, and witness all of their different behaviors.

We most certainly are all different, and we all have very different behaviors and needs. Perhaps we are entertaining to watch... from a distance. There certainly are not two people on this forum that share the same story. Every one of us is a unique creature.

Either way Marcello, the fantasy is just as valid as anything else that goes on here. We fully support the fantasy as healthy, and welcome you to the fold with open arms.

As said, the important thing is to recognize the line between the fantasy and the reality. If that line ever becomes blurry to you, then that is what we are here for. We wouldn't want you to mistake the two, and end up making a decision that will ruin the rest of your life. I think we've talked more people out of undergoing the chop than we have encouraged anyone.

If it ever does become a reality for you, then our group is a very valuable place to get information on how to accomplish it safely, and minimize your risk.

No one on these forums wants to see someone die in a do-it-yourself, at home job. Terrifying.

Enjoy your fantasy. There is nothing wrong with it. It is healthy to explore. Suppressing those thoughts is the unhealthy thing to do.

I myself fall into the fantasy part around here. I enjoyed the fantasy LONG before I realized I had an actual problem that undercut my fertility. If it were not for the fantasy this site allowed me to enjoy, I'd probably be dead by now.

I do not know which came first. The fantasy, or the sterility. Was I fantasizing about castration because I subconsciously knew I was sterile, and my hormone level was too low? I actually think the fantasy came prior to that. I remember very clearly as a child, hating those dangly bits between my legs. I remember fantasizing, that I'd wake up with them gone.

I really punished myself for those dreams. How could any normal person think those things? Finding the Eunuch Archive was like finding an oasis in the desert. It was the place I could survive. Be myself.

You'll find a lot of folks like you here. We're all just regular people, and we wouldn't hurt a fly, or cut anyone's bits off if you handed us both the knife, and a willing victim. Yet we belong here, just as much as those who have lost those annoying nuggets between their legs.

We're all just folk. Nothing wrong with that.

Welcome to the zoo. You'll fit right in.

I hope i'll do. Thanks all: it's a kind zoo

I exactly feel the way you do. I am a gay bottom as well, to me castration is a recurrent fantasy as well... I'm yet not sure if i would dare it for real; therefore I am curious for the experiences of others around here. Hope you'll have a nice time around here! Hope we all get some questions answered here! Have a good time here and enjoy your fantasies!

Hello everybody. I am a new member in this community.From Bangladesh to learn some mental treat way.

Well, for a while there we were calling it the EA Flying Circus. That one didn't quite stick, and Monty Python got all pissed off at us.

A zoo has a great variety of different characters of which we really are. Any welcome.
