What happens when a person has sex with an animal?

In 'Beauty and the Beast', the main character Belle falls in love with the Beast, but

bestiality, in which humans and animals have sex, has been taboo since ancient times, and some religions prohibit it by precepts, and it is prohibited by law. There are countries and regions that do. However, it is not well known whether humans can actually have sex with animals and make children, and what happens as a result of bestiality. The YouTube channel AsapSCIENCE explains the taboo bestiality with a scientific attitude.

Basically, humans do not fall in love with husky dogs because biological mechanisms are designed to avoid interspecies sexual activity.

Heterologous eggs and sperm cannot even combine. These are due to a mechanism called

prejunctional sequestration .

Due to the mechanism of preconjugative isolation, organisms of different species have genitalia that do not fit in the first place, different reproductive sites to prevent them from meeting each other, and different courtship methods.

Even if interspecies mating is done, it is almost impossible for sperm and eggs to fertilize and produce children.

This is the same even between two very close species. Previous studies have also shown that human sperm cannot bond to proteins on the surface of baboon eggs.

Therefore, half-human, half-baboon animals cannot be born.

However, sometimes the father is a

lion and the mother is a tiger.

A mule is born from a father, a donkey, and a mother, a horse. However, these organisms are unable to produce offspring due to lack of fertility due to the mechanism of post-zygotic isolation .

In addition, as one of post-conjugation isolation, there is also ``hybrid extinction'' in which fertilized eggs do not develop even if fertilization is performed, and ``hybrid decline'' in which the next generation cannot have a child.

For this reason, even if humans successfully have sex with birds, they cannot reproduce.

On the other hand, if they have relatively close ancestry, even heterogeneous animals can have a pair. We Homo sapiens can have children with Neanderthals.

However, this only applies if Homo sapiens is female and Neanderthal is male. Conversely, Neanderthal females and Homo sapiens males rarely or never reproduce.

And having sex with animals can be dangerous. Previously published studies have also shown that men who have sex with animals have a higher risk of penile cancer. This is thought to be due to the fact that sexual activity causes a very small trauma to the penis, which exposes it to animal secretions and pathogens.

Then, why do some people end up having sex with animals?

There are multiple reasons, such as 'I appeared in bestiality porn to make money'.

Cognitive dysfunction, underdeveloped emotions, dopamine dysregulation, etc. are also counted as reasons ... ...

Some people simply feel love and affection for animals. In the past case study, it is said that a man who said 'I left my wife to live with my beloved horse' was also recorded.
