As an older guy, I wonder if age is a factor in play partner selection for both ladies and gents? My wife is 19yrs my junior so clearly it's not an issue for me but what do you all think? ...
An owner enjoys pet play but not by becoming pet-like at all. They are the responsible person who looks after the person playing as a cat, dog, pony or other animal. They are Dominant personalities with a kind, caring side. They take over complete control during pet play. Just as any owner would do with a pet.
Owners pair up with pets. They may only ever pick one type of pet, being a dog person or a cat person for example, or they might like the variety of owning different pets. They will perform tasks such as grooming, feeding and putting down water for their pets. They may lock their pet in a cage if it’s appropriate.
Dog and Cat Pet play owners will do lots of play and grooming activities with their pets. There may be elements of training, rewarding positive behaviour and punishing bad. An owner may choose to lead their pet around on a lead or have a special collar for them that looks just like that of an animal pet.
Pony owners might not focus so much on play. Pony play can come in different forms but will include training the pony to do specific tricks and/or having them pull a carriage of some sort or carry a person on their back.
Owners take pride in looking after and showing off their pets. They may own one or more. There is a strong bond between an owner and their pet, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it is a monogamous relationship.
There can be a sexual element in an owner and pet’s play but often it is all about the dynamic between the pet and the owner. Owners enjoy taking on the responsibilities so that the pet can lose all human inhibitions and completely become a pet for a period of time.
A pet is a submissive who enjoys taking on aspects of a domesticated animal. Pets enjoy the freedom of being animal-like. They leave all adult responsibility behind to play like their chosen pet. There are many different levels of pet play. Some pets enjoy dressing up with masks and gloves so that the pet can’t speak or use their hands as humans would. Other’s just like to act like pets without any particular specialist gear.
There can be a sexual element to pet play but quite often it is just simply about play and the power dynamic between the Owner and their dearly beloved pet.
A submissive who enjoys being restrained is called a rope bunny. They don’t have to be restrained by rope. Chain can be used or spreader bars, items of clothing or handcuffs. A rope bunny enjoys the constriction of restraint.
A rope bunny may really enjoy rope. The feel and the constriction as well as the artistic value of the ties. They may enjoy being suspended in rope too. There are all kinds of rope, with different sensations from soft to scratchy. A masochistic rope bunny will enjoy extra pain with their restraint and may like to mix restraints with impact play.
Some rope bunnies are very into the artistic element of rope. Enjoying being part of shibari and kinbaku rope ties. This kind of bunny in particular will need a rigger to play with, as it takes time and practise to tie in these artistic ways. Other rope bunnies are more interested in the bondage element. Not really bothered about how they’re restrained, just that they are.
Rope bunny is an all-encompassing term for a submissive who enjoys being controlled by restraint. This can be purely a kink thing, or it might be a sexual turn on too. Bondage play doesn’t have to be sexual, just like any other BDSM play it can be very satisfying on it’s own.
As with any classification of submissive there are many different preferences a rope bunny could prefer. Some may be very much into the feel of cold chain, others may enjoy the ungiving nature of wooden stocks and pillories.
