Volume 15 Number 13 Puppy Play Here we are ready to
em “bark” on another realm of the BDSM community. We figured that we
should throw a “bone” to our readers and try to get them to really “wag
their tails” in anticipation. In case you haven’t guessed this column
is about Puppy Play, or more accurately human animal role play. Once
again we have found a wonderful definition of this on Wikipedia they
state the following. Human animal role play (also called pet play, pony
play, ponyism or pup-play) is a form of erotic sexual role-play where
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).
The principal theme of human-animal role play is usually the voluntary or involuntary reduction (or transformation) of a human being to animal status, and focus on the altered mind-space created. The most common examples are probably canines (pup, dog, wolf), felines (cat, kitten, lion) or equines (pony, horse). Human-animal role play is also used in a BDSM context, where one person may be a ‘slave’, treated or used as an animal by their Mistress/Master. Now that all of us know what we are talking about lets once again dive into the thick of it! TOP: I have gotten into a few puppy/animal play scenes in my time and I have to say they are extremely fun. As the Top in the scene there is really not a whole lot that you are doing except caring for a pet! In puppy play this means washing them, feeding them (from a dog bowl!), playing with them, petting them, and of course letting them outside to use the bathroom. Now for some people letting your human pet outside to use the bathroom may not be a viable option due to close proximity to neighbors or other reasons. In this case I would suggest toilet training your pet as soon as possible! Unless you don’t have a problem with them going on some newspaper there will always be a need for the pet to act like a human some of the time. I do have to say that recently BOTTOM turned me to dog shock collars which are “safe” to use on human pets but I would not recommend that you use them unless you have had experience with them yourself. Please keep in mind that not all pet training devices are going to work well transition to a dungeon scene. Most are too strong to be used on humans and can result in major harm to your play partner. I cannot stress enough that you discuss your scene, and limits, with your partner. Speaking with someone who “specializes” in this type of play can also be extremely helpful. SWAP: Awwww! A puppy!!!! CUTE!!!! Here pup! Here pup! Awww good boy! Does puppy want a bone? *UNZIP* Here ya go! Good boy!! No, not bestiality, puppy play! It’s a great fetish and lots of fun. I remember “back in the day” when “no one” had heard of pup play, and only a few of my internet friends were into the scene and they felt like outcasts because of it. Since then, puppy play has become a well accepted and practiced fetish to the point of there being an annual puppy party at IML. The first time I did a serious puppy scene with someone as the puppy, I felt a bit weird, but the old adage “It’s only kinky the first time” really came into play the next time I did a pup play scene. Ever since then I’ve never looked back and puppy play is one of my favorite fetishes now. BOTTOM: Woof-woof-bark-woof-grrrr…oops I’m not in character. Puppy play is awesome! It allows me to think and react with my SIR on a much simpler level. A lot can be learned from just watching a dog. A lot of the fun comes from the limited ability to communicate and also having limited dexterity, just like a real dog. It is a good place for the bottom to loose himself/herself for a while. I happen to eat actual dog treats (Milkbone please) but for those less brave I would recommend getting treats from a high-end dog bakery, they are human safe. Cans of beef stew can be used to simulate dog food though there are also real dog foods on the market that are human safe. Be warned, a dog with a messy face will spread the joy. Some dog kennels are large enough to crate humans, heavy steel cages are also available. Other favorite toys include leather dog mitts, a butt plug with a dog tail on it and a muzzle but none of that is essential. Use your imagination, it is all about having fun. I have had my hands encased in plaster casting material to make them into paws. While that was fun leather is more comfortable and less messy. One very important thing to remember, human knees were not meant to support your weight long-term and rug-burns can end the scene fast. Invest in a good quality set of knee-pads before you play. I like the ones carpet layers use. In order for this play to last any amount of time comfort is of the essence. Yes I did introduce TOP to dog shock collars, a fact I am sure I will regret soon enough, with any luck! Well it sure seems like put this subject down like so many old yellers. Until next time keep the play safe, sane, and consensual. If you have any questions for us or want us to talk about a specific topic let us know by emailing us at unholytrinity08@yahoo.com.
