Ngozi NwaubaniBestiality is the practice of having sexual intercourse with animals. It is considered a taboo and an illegal act in most parts of the world. There have been a series of s*x videos online, especially on Twitter, where some women in Lagos engaged in sexual acts with dogs. It is a nasty thing to imagine, especially for those who watched the clips.
According to unconfirmed reports, these women did such acts for money, a whopping sum of ₦1.5M.

The health risks of sleeping with animals are very deadly and not just for the participating individuals but for the society at large. Animals can transmit dangerous zoonotic diseases to humans, diseases caused by bacteria, parasites, fungi, and viruses.

5. Risk of injury
Having sexual relations with species other than your own will lead to many problems. First of all, the size of sexual organs is mismatched. Large animals such as dogs or horses can rupture and injure the rectum or vagina during intercourse.
6. Allergic Reactions
Allergic reactions happen when the immune system tries to interpret foreign substances. The body overreacts and produces allergy symptoms. Since humans are not supposed to have sexual relations with animals in the first place, their semen and other body fluids are considered foreign. The body initiates a reaction to get rid of these foreign substances, which can lead to death.

In Iran, in most villages and among nomads, sex with animals is common among unmarried boys. Most parents, despite knowing about their children’s sexual relationship with animals, are not too strict in this matter, because they see this method as a low-risk method to satisfy their children’s needs and also to teach them about sex. In addition, most of the rural and nomadic men have enjoyed such a relationship in their youth. Even married men sometimes have sex with animals due to not being able to have sex with their wives, or when they lose their wives until the next marriage, or when their wives are on their periods. The frequency of sex with animals has been seen with female donkeys, male donkeys, female and male horses, mules, domestic birds, cows, goats and sheep, and in rare cases with dogs. The reason for the prevalence of sex with animals is the sexual needs of young people, especially after puberty, and the lack of other facilities to satisfy their sexual needs. While in many western countries, girls and boys experience sex before marriage, in Muslim countries such relationships are strictly prohibited and in many cases lead to murder (especially the murder of girls). Among the villagers, there is a widespread belief that sex with a female donkey has many therapeutic properties, including treating leg and back pain and curing infections caused by sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea.
