Introduction : Pet play is a unique, fun and entertaining Dom/sub culture in the kink fetish lifestyle with an ever growing following. It involves a Dominant (Owner, Trainer, handler) and the sub (pet) who takes on the traits of a chosen ***. The history of pet play has a chequered past and it's difficult to pin point it's origins. However, in Ancient times it was linked to shape shifting and some religious text mention dressing as ***s and taking on their traits.

Unfortunately, during Victorian times slaves (during the slave trades) were often treated like ***s. Being collared, branded and even castrated. Fortunately in modern times it has moved from those dark times to become the fun and entertaining fetish it is now.

2. So let's open that up a bit, does anyone know about furries, cosplayers and primal and what they can include?

•furies often roleplay as fantasy or cartoon ***s, rather than real ones. They have super elaborate costumes, and spend a great deal of time – even outside the bedroom – thinking about or inhabiting their fursona (furry persona)
•cosplayers, it’s almost always a non-sexual thing. They enjoy making and showing off costumes, some of which may be ***-based. Cosplay is primarily a hobby and a way of socialising with their ***rs
•primal sex is a kink characterized by becoming more ***istic and intense during sex. Some things a primal might do include scratching, biting, hair-pulling, vocalizing with grunts and growls, wrestling, and using *** and strength with their partner. Primals release themselves from the inhibitions of our world to allow themselves a headspace that is instinctual and reactive to their base impulses and desires.
