Zoo code Actaeon and Hobbes' v1.6

●  This zoo code model is divided into sections. Sections are separated by spaces. Example:

●  Except for the first section (sexual and amorous orientation), the second section (medical condition and other adversities), and the country code, all sections begin with one or two lowercase letters that are used to identify them. So for example, the section that starts with a y is for how young you were when you discovered you were a zoo (age when you started), while the p is for pets you have (pets and other owned animals).

●  If a section begins with two repeated lowercase letters it means something special. For example, a section for pets that starts with pp would mean that you live surrounded in pets (you have a farm for example).

●  Except for the country code, any capital letter inside a section mentions an animal. So for example any D you see in the sections makes reference to dogs, while any H makes reference to horses or ponies. A p followed by a D then would mean that you have a pet which is a dog.

●  Within the sections we sometimes use a diagonal bar, /, to separate information. For example, if you have as pets a dog and a small cat (or house cat), you write it like this:

●  Codes can have few, many, or all sections, whatever the user likes. They can also have few values attributed to the sections for easy read (like the example in the main page), or many values for a complete description. However it may be, sections should be arranged in order as they appear in this page.

●  Since this model for the zoo code can be very lengthy and elaborate, you can stop reading and come back whenever. If you hesitate on a particular section, you can check the list at the right, which will link you directly to the desired sections. Sit back and enjoy.

For example, this zoo wants to tell at what age he discovered he was a zoo, but he doesn't want to tell at what age he had his first sexual encounter with an animal. Therefore, he will have to put an X where he ought to write that number:

He could not have written alone at what age he discovered he was a zoo, like in this code, because that would have meant he has never had any sexual encounter with an animal:

For example, this zoo doesn't want to give his age. In this case, removing the number doesn't affect the structure of the code, so he shouldn't write this section of code at all:

For example, this zoo's fence-hopping activity ranges from never to occasionally:

Use symbols as shown in the table above. For example, this zoo is female and bisexual with humans:

This zoo is male, is gay with humans, and he feels more attracted to male humans than to any other species:

This zoo is female and hetero with humans, she feels she can only be intimate with zoos or zoo-friendlies, and she feels most attracted to these kind of people than to any other species:

This zoo is male, and he only feels attracted to animals:

Obviously, writing the symbol % or the symbol ! right after # would be incoherent.

Animal letters are always uppercase. Any other letter used in the code (except the initial Z, the X symbol, the medical condition and other adversities section, and the location section) will be written in lowercase to avoid confusing it with an animal from the list.

You have to say which species you are attracted to, adding letters from the animal list or symbols from the list for the hesitant ones. For example, this zoo is female, and she is attracted to goats:

Notice that between species we have written a diagonal bar. This helps to interpret the code faster. In this model for the zoo code, every time we include another species in our code, we write a diagonal bar to separate. This is also done in other sections, when we have to create long chains of related information.

This zoo is also female, but she is zoo bisexual with dogs and zoo hetero with pigs:

This zoo is exclusive (he is only interested in animals, not in humans). He is zoo of horses or ponies, he feels most attracted to horses or ponies than to any others species, and he is also a zoo of donkeys or mules and zoo bisexual of dogs:

Obviously, having a g or an h anywhere in this last code wouldn't have given us meaningful information, since the zoo doesn't mention his gender.

Note for the promiscuous ones: please don't add more than three or four animals to the list. You clever bastards!

The next zoo is male and hetero with humans. He feels he can only be intimate with zoo or zoo-friendly women. He feels attracted to all species equally, he is bisexual with all of them, and he feels more attracted to animals than to humans:

This new section of the code works in conjunction with the animals you specified earlier on. You have to choose your level of zooishness, that is, your love for the specified species, and your sexual disposition for them (in a scale from - to 4). The degree of love and sex disposition you give should be the one for the general species, not for your preferred mate. Sex here can have any meaning, from hand jobs, to oral, to penetrative, to dirty.

For example, the female zoo who previously told us about her interest on dogs and pigs. She is quite attached to dogs, and enjoys having sex with them. She feels different about pigs though, she thinks they are nice, but she's more interested in them for sex, which gives her much pleasure:

This is the male zoo we mentioned before, the one who is attracted to all species. He really lives for the animals, he is very deeply attached to them, but he doesn't have sex with them at all:

You can also use this range of love and sex disposition to show your attitude towards humans if you wish. The comming male zoo is zoo exclusive, he finds humans disturbing, and thinks having sex with them is disgusting. He is only interested in wolves, for whom he lives:

Notice that he didn't make mention of sexual attractions, and that he used X to show that he doesn't want to state his sexual disposition towards wolves (check special characters to remember before you start if you haven't already).

This is not a section to be joked about. If you are physically disabled, you have a chronic illness or you are going through a lengthy medical treatment that prevents you from having satisfactory relationships (wheelchair user, fibromyalgia, etc.), write an M in your code. If you cannot have satisfactory relationships because of a strict restrictive environment that is permanent or could last many years, such as being involuntarily inmersed in fanatisms, imprisoned, or if you suffer prosecution, write a P in your code. If both, you should write MP. Lack of parental emancipation does not count as lengthy restrictive environment.

For example, the previous male zoo who doesn't have sex with animals at all is unable to have satisfactory relationships due to medical reasons:

Mates are animals with whom you have a special bond. Mates are amongst the most important things in life for a zoo, if not the most important. For this reason, the mates section can be the longest one in one's zoo code.

For a start, write a lowercase m followed by the animal mates you have. For example, this zoo has a horse mate and a dog mate:

If you feel differently for your mates than for the rest of animals of that same species, you can add the love and sex gradient to the animal letter:

You can also add a number before the animal letter so as to state that you have more than one mate of that species...

...or an m or an f to mention their gender:

If you wish to specify whether you are in a long-term relationship or a short-term relationship with your mates (optional), write a lowercase l or an s after the place for the love and sex gradient. For example:

If you are not the legal owner of your mates, you should add a lowercase i (for illegal, not necessarily but easy to remember) at the end of the symbols for the mates which aren't yours. For example:

Also, it might happen that for some of your mates you fence-hop. In this case, you can use the fence-hopping section within your mates' specifications putting it inside square brackets. For example:

Notice that in case that you fence-hop to meet some of your mates, there is no need to clarify that you are not their legal owner by putting an i, since it's already obvious.

If you don't have any mates, write 0 after the m:

In case that you have many mates, please understand that readability should be the priority. Don't write them all down if it will make your code too lengthy.

How far would you go to show that you are in love with your mates? lv, followed by a quantifier value.

For example, this male zoo is so crazy in love with his mates he would shout it from a street corner for all to hear:

Do you have any pets? A lowercase p, followed by the pets you have and how many of them. For example:

If you own a farm or a safari, please don't write down all your animals! Put a double p instead of one single p, and mention some of the animals you have if you wish:

If the animals you own you already noted them in the mates section because they are your mates, you don't need to write them down again in this section. For example, this zoo has two dogs:

If you own no animals, write a 0 after the p:

Notice that if you have no animals, all mates should have an i added to them in the mates section (or have a fence-hopping section attached to them).

aa followed by the two last digits of your birth year. For example:

You can also display your age directly in years by writing one single a instead:

Those who do not want to give their exact age or birth year can add a tilde, ~, at the end:

A lowercase y, the age in which you discovered you where a zoo, and the age in which you had your first sexual encounter with an animal. For example:

You can also give the approximate age by adding a ~ after each number, if you don't want to give the exact age or if you don't remember it well:

If you have never had a sexual encounter with an animal, you can leave the code with one value alone:

If you hadn't thought of having sexual encounters with animals until you saw on the web that it was possible, write a w after the ages or instead of the ages:

For those who feel a spiritual or mystic connection to some animal species, you can use this section to make it clear. A lowercase t, followed by the animal letter, and then the age in which you realized (if you wish):

Notice that we place a diagonal bar between the two pieces of information to avoid confusing the numbers with the love and sex ranges.

A lowercase e, followed by a quantifier value meaning how many zoo experiences you have had with animals.

For example, this zoo has had no sex with animals, but has fondling experience:

If you wish to give different values for different animals, you can do so. In this case, if there is one last value not associated with any animal letter, it is the value associated to other unnamed animals:

Also, if one or more animals have -on their own initiative- made blatantly sexual overtures to you (within that animal's corporal expression standards), add an asterisk after that species' letter.

Fence-hopping is sneaking into someone else's property in order to have a date with an animal. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a fence involved; simply that you're willing to trespass.

Write a lowercase h, followed by a quantifier value of how much you fence-hop, and another value for how much risk you take if you do fence-hop.

For example, this zoo fence-hops occasionally, only when the risk is minimal:

For example, this zoo doesn't fence-hop, he is against fence-hopping:

Are you looking for a mate? lowercase d (for dating), followed by a quantifier value that represents your situation, and a lowercase l for long-term relationship or a lowercase s for short-term relationship if you wish.

For example, this zoo is not looking for a (new) mate:

This other zoo, however, is wildly interested in new short-term mates:

Though the previous code is correct, it doesn't give critical information about what type of mate you want. If you are interested in a mate, you should always use animal letters in this section to specify the species you're interested in:

If you are interested in a new mate that will be legally owned by you, you should write an o instead of l or s:

If you are interested in a human mate, you can write a lowercase h for humans:

Of course, a final number not associated with any animal letter means your disposition to have other types of mates not listed.

Place where you live, using the official location codes in capital letters. For example:

You can look at the codes for location in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (ISO 3166 in Wikipedia). In some large countries there is also abbreviations for the subdivisions of the country.

A vg, followed by the food diet you have, and then your view on diet diversity (if you wish).

For example, this zoo is lacto-ovo-vegetarian, and would like others to have a vegetarian diet as well, but respects their decisions:

An r, followed by your view on animal rights.

For example, this zoo is not an animal rights activist, but has a strong opinion on them:

An mu, followed by your view on regular mutilation of animals for debatably useful purposes (rare extreme medical cases apart).

For example, this zoo is very much against the mutilation of animals:

An rl, followed by how much you value animal life. Notice that the vegetarianism section covers the reverence for life in your food diet already, so this section excludes animals as food.

For example, this zoo doesn't mind swatting flies:

A k, followed by your knowledge on animal anatomy, and your knowledge on animal behaviour.

For example, this zoo knows only the basics on animal anatomy, but is well-versed on animal behaviour:

A u, followed by how much you can control your sexual desire.

For example, this zoo has his urges fully under control:

Finish the sentence: "I can be sexually intimate with an animal...

Write a pr followed by your option. For example, this zoo feels he can be sexually intimate with an animal in front of another zoo or two:

An ed, followed by how many erotic dreams you've had on animals

For example, this zoo rarely has erotic dreams about non-humans:

An f, followed by your obsession with fantasy life.

For example, this zoo is constantly daydreaming about animals:
