Zoophilia

thumb|"Ancient Greek sodomising a goat", plate XVII from by F. K. Forberg, illustrated by Édouard-Henri Avril Zoophilia is a paraphilia in which a person experiences a sexual fixation on non-human animals. Bestiality instead refers to cross-species sexual activity between humans and non-human animals. Due to the lack of research on the subject, it is difficult to conclude how prevalent bestiality is. Zoophilia was estimated in one study to be prevalent in 2% of the population in 2021.

Gerbilling, also known as gerbil stuffing or gerbil shooting, is the alleged sexual practice of inserting a gerbil or other small rodent into one's rectum to obtain stimulation. Gerbilling is considered an urban legend and there is no evidence that the practice has ever occurred in real life. Its existence remains highly dubious, as all rodents have long nails and teeth for digging or burrowing and naturally try to burrow out of any small spaces.
