Does semen emission caused by pressing on the penis after it has become erect from watching animals copulate necessitate ghusl, and is the doer sinful?

If looking leads to arousal, then it is not permissible. However, if semen is emitted without pleasure, desire, or gushing, it does not necessitate (ritual bath) according to the majority of scholars. If it is madhiy (pre-seminal fluid) or other fluids, it does not necessitate ghusl, but it does invalidate wudu (ablution).
