BDSM Pet-Play
What exactly is pet-play?
Animal roleplay may be either a non-sexual or an erotic sexual role-play (when it may also be called petplay, ponyplay, ponyism, kittenplay, or pup-play). In it’s erotic sexual roleplay form, one or more of the participants takes on the role of a real or imaginary animal in character, including appropriate mannerisms and behavior, and sometimes a partner will act as another animal, or, in a sexual context, may take the role of rider, trainer, or caretaker (or even breeding partner).

How it began
I have little memory of my childhood but one thing I do remember is an experience at Primary School when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I recall being a ‘loner’ and contently sat in the playground at the front of the school, throwing stones across the hop scotch or counting the stones on the wall. I remember there was an older kid who was a twin, who came and sat on the step and whistled for me to come over. I crawled on my hands and knees over to him, whimpering and he urged me over, eventually patting my short, curled up hair and calling me a “good girl”.
Every day I would sit on the step and wait for him to come out for break or lunch, most of the time he’d bring me a piece of bread or a treat of sorts. He used to throw stones across the playground for me to fetch and I was rewarded for retreiving them. One day he came into school and placed a looped shoelace around my neck as a leash and took me for walks and insisted that I was “his”.
I was too young to understand but after waiting on the step in the rain and shine, I realized that he had gone away, perhaps moving to another school. I felt heartbroken and sat waiting for him to return, well, until I had to move to another Primary School myself.
From the age of 12 I got myself involved into wolf roleplay online and was well known amougst the Avidgamer community for being an advanced writer. I created a roleplay called Sapphire Meadow Wolf Pack which became one of the most popular wolf RP’s on the internet.
Alongside being obsessed with wolves, I also had a soft spot for cats. Since being born I’ve always had pet cats and as I’ve grown up, I realize how much cats have influenced my life. My most prominent feature is my huge cat-like eyes and my infamous ‘mew’ sneeze and yawns. I’ve been brought up with a knowledge of Egyptian culture, statues of Bast (cat) and Anubis (dog) are dotted around our household. My well known obsession of Hello Kitty comes into play as I own literally hundreds, if not thousands of merchandise created by Sanrio. I also love anything cat or kitty themed which goes onto explain why everything I have/own is cat-like.
I came out the ‘puppy closet’ early August 2009 having created a persona called Oddball who developed into a submissve puppy-girl. This was quickly followed up with a new kitty persona who was originally dubbed as Midnight.
For a while I didn’t know BDSM petplay existed and that I was the only human out there who felt comfortable roleplaying as a pet. Thanks to CollarMe, a BDSM community, I was able to befriend other human pets from around the world and others with interesting fetishes that I never knew about.
Coming out about my petplay fetish was an interesting experience to say the least. A lot of people were extremely understanding, most of them already predicting or persuming I was into it and there were a couple of people who couldn’t get their heads around the concept of it. My parents didn’t judge me at all as they allow me to be an individual and even watched as I opened my first collar bought by a friend online.
A puppy story
“The next thing I know is I was in this other room, it was dark and like everything else in the building, very old fashioned. The smell of dust and oak lingered the air but I found myself standing near my partner, staring blankly across the room in silence. He was sitting on a chair in the corner and called me over and requested that I sat on him. I didn’t think anything of it and sat on his lap and he clasped his arms around my body and held me close. I buried my face into the side of his neck, he smelt really amazing and I could feel his heart racing against my chest. I enjoyed the closeness, the comfort and there was something really appealing about him. I slowly began licking on the side of his neck, occasionally nuzzling the area with my nose, brushing away his hair that got in the way. His body actions indicated he liked my pressence and made no effort to stop me so I continued.
After a while he pulled back and I looked up to him with innocent eyes. He looked down at me with a warm, reassuring smile and gently patted my head. Something about patting my head made me feel satisfied, like I had done a good job. It was a great yet unexplainable feeling.
He leaned over to the side of the chair and picked something up. My eyes were curious but I remained silent as I watched, the room still quite dark but I was able to see faintly. He pulled up a collar and chain and I tilted my head curiously, still sitting firmly in his lap, his other hand grasping my body gently. I shifted my body slightly, so I was facing him, the usual confused look still imprinted across my face. He took the black collar, a dogs collar, unclipped the buckle and gently secured it around my neck, clipping it tightly into place. For some reason I didn’t back off but my heart was racing hard and fast. He had a serious look upon his face but it was so reassuring and warm. He lifted up the long chain and clipped it to my collar, a quiet whimper escaped my mouth as he patted my head again and whispered ‘Good girl Oddball’…”

“Are you a furry?”
A lot of people get confused between people who are into pet play and people who are furries. To clear up any confusion, let me explain what a furry really is.
A furry is a a human with animal-like characteristics such as ears, tails, fur. This is used as an art expression where people draw other humans with these attributes. A furry can also be someone who likes furry fandom and everything related to it. More information can be found here.
Furry art is something I’ve attempted to do but it’s not my speciality. Even when I used to roleplay, I hated roleplaying as an anthro and preferred to roleplay as a realistic animal. I have nothing against furries and would love to visit a cosplay/furry convention. I however, am not a furry.

The overview on BDSM petplay
Although this is the 21st century and society is generally accepting over the majority of subjects, BDSM pet play has proven a topic that not everyone is comfortable with. Regardless of there being literally millions of BDSM human pets around the world, there are still a lot of people out there who remain anonymous about their animal identities. Like my attitude to blogging, I understand that not everyone can be open about their lifestyle but I only ask that people respect that I do have the ability to share mine.
There are people of society who we refer to as ‘vanilla’, simple individuals who have no interest in the BDSM scene or enjoy the participation in any fetish or kinky activity. Typically these are the people who struggle to understand how other people can be into anything that comes across as abnormal to them and because of that, people like myself are branded as ‘freaks’ although we are completely normal.
A standard debate would be someone arguing that a human roleplaying as an animal is not normal and this is where my people get confused. I can’t make anymore crystal clear that I am your bog-standard 19 year old female but BDSM pet play does interest me greatly. I do not believe I’m a cat nor a dog, I’m perfectly aware I’m a human female but there is a huge difference between roleplaying and reality. BDSM petplay to me is the equivilant to a ‘normal’ person having anal or doing a sexual position in the sense that I find it pleasurable but my life certainly doesn’t revolve around it.
I’ve been successful in bringing awareness to BDSM petplay, I’ve certainly made a lot of people think and I know since I’ve come out the ‘petshop’, more people are curious and have attempted a bit of pet-play in the bedroom with their lovers. I’m fortunate enough to have a long term boyfriend who shares the same passion for petplay as I have, me being his ‘Little pup’ and I enjoy the feeling of ‘belonging’ to someone.
