About Malcolm Brenner

Born 1951. Malcolm Brenner is an American novelist and journalist.

Malcolm J. Brenner (born May 9, 1951) is an American author from New Jersey, journalist, and zoophile.

From 1992 to 1994, Brenner worked at the Farmington Daily Times. After being terminated, he filed a federal lawsuit claiming that he had been terminated for practicing Wicca.

Wet Goddess

Since 2010, Brenner has gained international notoriety for his novel, Wet Goddess. The novel details several months in the life of fictional college student Zachary Zimmerman, in which the protagonist meets a dolphin named Ruby at a local theme park and falls in love with her. Brenner claims the book is autobiographical, and based on a series of events that happened to him in the 1970s. In an article in the Huffington Post, Brenner said: "I wrote this book for dolphins because we are mistreating these animals by keeping them in captivity."

Zoophilia

Brenner is a self-proclaimed zoophile and zoophile advocate. He claims to have had sex with a female dolphin named Dolly in the 1970s. He stated that they "stared into each other's eyes" for moments after they had intercourse, and that they tried seven different poses.

Brenner also admits to having had sex with a dog.
