Pet Play?

[lucretia]

Okay... my inaugural newbie question posting! I'd appreciate some help.

One of the things that got me interested in submission was what I later learned is called, "pet play"...or at least I think it is. A former boyfriend introduced me to it by treating me like his pet; he would call me his "little puppy" and encourage me to get into the roll as much as I could. The thought and the memories still excite me.

I'd like to learn more about it. The nerd in me figures there MUST be a book or something on the need to behave this way. Does anyone know of a good one? I've found a few things, but nothing to really satisfy my curiosity. I'm curious to know WHY this make me feel so good and what it says about me as a person. At the start I thought, "Wow...this is pretty messed up," but I don't think that something that makes me feel this good without interfering with the rest of my life can be so bad.

My apologies if this isn't the right forum.

There are web sites and magazines devoted to this. This not being my fetish I am not familiar with them, but did find a forum and a web site with a quick search. I cannot post the links because they require you to sign up to join, but if you go to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_a...External_links you will find them listed.

Those were the first ones I found. Thanks for the help =)

Well, not alot of people seems to be online atm. But you got the right board, and you are right, petplay it isn't so bad. Everyone here has a fetish on some sort or the other.

Hi lucetia, and welcome to the family

Your fetish isn't as odd or unusual as you may think, and quite honestly I think it's probably one of the more gentle fetishes.

I came across this pet story by, forum member, StillbehindBlueyes a while back--it's a really good one that I think you may enjoy: "Little Flower".

Yes, this is something I really like as well, at least when I've got my dom face on. I think it's something to do with the idea of stepping back into a much less complicated role, allowing the mind to relax, but that's just a theory.

All's I really know is that it's damned good fun, and you certainly aren't alone in enjoying it.

Lucretia,
I, too, find pet play (especially human dogs) to be quite the turn on. I don't know if you read F/f erotica but there is a great scene in Kelly's Slave (Part 10). If you like pony play, Couture's Dixie Chicks Rule is a runaway favorite.

I'm hoping to post a story soon on puppy play. I've got to finish my current Regency tale first, though.

Good luck,
ER

I also like the idea of petplay. The thought of being treated like a pet, wearing nothing while the domme whom holds the leash is dressed elegantly, is an exciting one. I'd like to be gagged and have a buttplug for a tail. I'd be forced to produce muffled mewing noises as the domme paddled my feet. I'd eat and drink like a pet from my dishes on the floor while the mistress dined at the table just beside me. Ocassionally she would dig the high heels of her shoe on my ass for more kitty mewing.

I too quite enjoy pet play. Naked, leashed, crawling, being treated like an anime, unable to talk (either through a gag or an order)... It's so very fun.

i hope to findmyself a pet one day

I have a sense (but I may be waaaayyy off base) that the allure of petplay lies very close next to the enjoyment of objectification. Both take away the expectation of (relatively)'normal' behaviour and allows the submissive to 'be' without pressure. It relieves him/her of the responsibility of action more complex than obedience to simple commands.

I have personally never really understood the depth of attraction to this particular kink, but I can associate with the need to just 'let go' and 'looked after'.

I remember as a very inexperienced subbie when a Dom once (via YIM) weaved a scene (of which I was merely a stunned voyeur) playing with his 'pet' while giving her a bath. *fans self* Oh boy...that was sooo HOT. I needed some alone time in the bath after that.

[pinky_subby]

I like petplay when I had a Master he treat me as a pet leash me control me feed me in dog dish and much more. I feel so excited.

[subslutty. sneha]

One of my miss's fav. kink is petplay and whatever she likes is whatever I like too .At the start it was really humiliating. Being collared and leashed and tied to a bedpost at night.
The worst parts where when I pissed off my miss unfortunately (I had a really tiny stubble on my pussy which my miss hated as she wanted it to be bald) was when I was ordered to lick and slurp the water in the toilet bowl on all fours like real dogs. I was soo humiliated.
Other problems where peeing which I had to do outdoors and I did experience few experiences where strangers sae me peeing outdoors on all fours one leg up !!

I like the sound of this, and have really enjoyed what I've read about it in stories. I would like the idea of being made to feel like an animal, it is being degraded that turns me on. I'm not sure if I prefer pet play or objectification, which seems to take that degradation even further. It's all tied in to the same thing, I guess.

Petplay is interesting because it can focus on aspects that arouse people. it can be

Love - the deep affection and closeness we show to some pets, like the stroking and sweet words "good girl"
Loyalty - the close bond between pet and owner.
Obedience - the pet is trained to do as its told without question. Sit! Beg!
Sounds - The pet does not have to think about what to say or how to say it. It just does and by means of a few simple sounds converys its mood.
Display - pets are displayed and admired by others. They are discussed in front of the animal.
Authority - the authority of the owner is clear as is the position of superior and subordinate.
Restraint - pets invariably have some restraint. Cages, muzzles (gag) collars and leashes make it almost natural for bdsm sub to be treated like a pet.
Accessories - many pet accessories lend themselves well to bdsm. Making the pet pretty or making it get dirty in the mud.
Submission - The animal may need to be tamed and trained.

The key element with pet play is what animal. The choice of animal puts focus on the bdsm aspects that are made possible. And the tamenesss of the animal. Is it wild that needs to be tamed through the whip and cage or the loving dog that sits at its owner feet.

Its not about the animal, its about how we regard and treat the animal. Is it a dirty pig or is it mans best friend.

There are many levels of pet play. I've had a Dom who would put a leash on my collar and I'd crawl along with Him to O/our "playroom". The pet aspect wasn't the focus but was implied. It was the start of how W/we would share my submission there. It's something to be discussed as how far one wants to go. Some want their "pets" to eat their food from a bowl on the floor. I applaud your interest and hope you have learned from some comments here to do some research. Above all, talk talk talk with you boyfriend/Dom!

I like petplay but there is no way my boyfriend accepts to be treated as a pet lol )
