Post by: Komito on December 12, 2005, 12:24:51 am
Well I got into a game Called SL. I was just a normal person getting into the furryfandom and I met someone I love oh so very much. Now I' am his pet on SL and am now his pet irl *blushes* and I have never felt any happyier ever before. I now want to know if there is anyone else like me *chuckles* or others that like to wear collars. Personally I love collars and leashes heh. :cool:  any one else outthere like me?

Collars are cool. I'd enjoy being on a collar and leash - When I was in high school, I had a leash that I wore for a while.....

Strap me down and call me your pet, and I'd be your friend for life :D

I consider myself my girl's pet.  I have a tag on my collar that basically says I belong to her.  As a joke once I took a pet registration certificate and photoshopped our names and my picture in the appropriate places for her too.  She's got it up on a frame on her wall. :p

lol, I threatened to bite off their fingers if they didn't make me one. *Grrrrrr*  No, I just searched for one on google, n found somethin similar to this...

Pet certificate

And used photoshop to delete out the parts I didn't want, and convincingly replaced them with my own.  I was gonna do an AKC one first, but all they gots are papers for AKC registration, not certificates. (unless someone could find some type of AKC cert)

Oh jeh, and to do dem quotes, you just press that quote button up above, paste the text, and press the quote button again.  You can always preview to make sure it comes out right  :)

Hi, komito, glad to see that youre back!:)

Glad to hear that youre happy being a pet.  Hope your owner treats you well! Do the reasearch before you move in with him though...I know a few furs who have gotten themselves hurt both emotionally and physically doing the same thing.  But if youre comfortable doing it, Good luck and godspeed!

Me, I've always wanted to be someones pet.  The one time I tried didnt work out so well though.  My GF at the time, (now my ex gf :blush: )  Wasnt comfortable with the idea of a submissive male and saw it as a sign of weakness.  She thought the Idea of me wearing a collar was bizare, if not intredibly perverted and discusting.  


Cute idea on the pet certificates too :D  I should make myself one

I've always thought how cool it'd be to be someone's pet dog.

My big sister bought me a dog collar with an inscribed name tag for my 16th birthday, but I don't think she meant it in that way.

I gorram lost it at a theme park.

I was gutted...

My mate takes me for walks in public, and I've worn a collar and leash for the better part of my adult life. And while I consider myself her pet, I'm not really sure what her take on the whole thing is. :)

I couldn't see myself having a relationship with someone based on me being their pet, but I could be the pet of someone I loved, but only if it wasn't an all-the-time thing. And if I know they wouldn't abuse the power, of course!  :)
Title: furries being pets
Post by: Skunkster on December 14, 2005, 04:14:03 am
I'd do a heck of a lot more than just "research" the person before becoming their "pet."

I don't do that subservient thing well at all. :p

Truthfully though, having been a combat shrink for the last 8 years, I would worry a lot about the phychological reasons behind wanting to receive and wanting to dish out on something like that.

I'd be especially worried about an adult couple wanting a minor in that sort of position.

That said and additional questions aside, I'd say it depends mostly on the personality of the person.
Title: furries being pets
Post by: Dragonfox on December 14, 2005, 11:45:28 am
I'm way too much of a dominant personality to be a "pet".  My mate, whoever they may end up being, might end up being my 'pet' though....  ^_^

If I were to have a "property of" tag, it'd probably say something like "Property of no one" or "Property of JC" (religious).  

Generally I don't mind pet/submissive ideas if it's in play or within a healthy relationship.  I've seen the unhealthy side of that, so it in general rubs my fur the wrong way.

I don't think I'd like being a pet. Having one, maybe.

Although, on a slightly different note, I think having a furry BUTLER would be cool. I mean, I think it would be great to have, I dunno, something like a 6 foot anthro orangutan in a tux, talking in a snobby british accent, snidley serving me martinis and highballs and whatnot all day. Ah, that would be the life!
I know that's not what we're talking about here, but oh well.  :)

I was a Private in the Territorial Army for 2 years, so I don't think the power issue would be a problem as I never found taking orders a problem.

But in a relationship? Hmm, I dunno. I was always the subservient one in my last relationship, but I don't know if that was by choice or because I'm a naturally shy person.

Hehe... Thats cool. I wouldn't mind being someone's pet. And the collars and parents... well, i wear mine everywhere. They just pass it off (judging from the fact that they just credit it to my already spontaneous personality) as acceptable, just as long as I take it off at the annual family chritmas party. ^^ But i digress... Yea, you are definatly not alone with the pet leashes and the collars. And as for the little ones... Im one of the youngest(lol 15) and its all good.

:blush: 16 here lol. I know it seems like a major comittment at my age but you know what. My parents are awful in my eyes. My dad watches porn in front of his little 3 year olds. My mom can't accept me being a furry and I had to convince her that I'am not one so I don't get pulled away from the internet/ outside world, and my mom doesnt respect anything about furries. I know she is just worrying but she has to think, I' am 16 I have done my research, I can choose my own path now, a furry and a writer (or digital art either way). My brother well, hes a little brother that is annoying of course (it's their job or something ><). My antes/ uncles are either in jail or hiding in anger and fear of real life. My cusins are getting harassed by their step parents 24/7, and they won't do anything about it. My grand parents are the only good ones yet they don't care what is ever going on. The area I live in sucks, no one likes me as a friend, there are no furries here, I'am so alone here. My only path to happyness in my eyes is a collage, and living with my dearest owner.  :p

I'm sorry, but to everyone saying 'in a non-fetish sense', being someone's pet IS a fetish. It's a dominant/submissive situation, wether anyone wants to admit to it or not. And, like anything D/S, it's not something to be played around with. There's alot of trust that goes into that kind of thing. You HAVE to be able to trust your 'master'.

Maybe I'm just screaming on deaf ears, but alot of the people in this thread are very young. Looking back, I wouldn't have trusted myself to make a decision like this when I was 15 or 16. Or maybe I'm just not the 'pet' type. I don't want to be under someone's wing all the time. That's not how I am. I'm not able to be that kind of person. I could really go off on a tangent fro a psychological standpoint, but I don't think that's what anyone's looking for here.

I think when we say non- fetish sense we are talking about being pets but not being pets for sex. Like me I'll cuddle with my master but sex isnt something we would get into (my master is mated anyway). Also I'am a type of pet that isnt going to be bondaged other than a collar and leash (which my master agrees with) so I'am more of a real house pet than anything else ^^.

Yeh, i have met a guy who is a pet tiger...i think its an awesome idea...he wears a collar and leash and your allowed to "walk"  him...and i think tigers are awesome, so if there are any tigers out there that want masters (and i must heavily enforce that it would be pg) i am most willing...have a chat to me and i'll see how it goes...

A fetish doesn't have to involve sex. Read:

fet·ish also fet·ich - Pronunciation Key  (ftsh, ftsh) n.

   1. An object that is believed to have magical or spiritual powers, especially such an object associated with animistic or shamanistic religious practices.
   2. An object of unreasonably excessive attention or reverence: made a fetish of punctuality.
   3. Something, such as a material object or a nonsexual part of the body, that arouses sexual desire and may become necessary for sexual gratification.
   4. An abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment; a fixation.

That's what I consider a 'master/pet' relationship to be. That's what I consider most fetishes to be, sexual or not.

And a collar/leash IS bondage. It's a captivity device. Wether you wear it for jewelrey or whatever, it shows that you're a sumbissive party in a relationship. Or, just submissive in general.

I'm really not trying to harp on people (okay, maybe I am...) or be a b***h about this. But I think anyone involved in this kind of relationship (sexual or not) should really do their research and understand the connotations of what being a 'pet' means.

Never done the 'pet' thing.  Though I would probably make a good one.
Ponies are so into being ridden.  :D

In earlier years, I would go into 'slave mode' for fun on occasion.  Bathing my partner, pampering them, dressing them, etc.  It was usually just for a few hours or so.  But I found it fun.

Generally, I am a male that has no problem playing the subordinate.  I remember talking with folks at work and many of the guys were worried about women that made more money than them.  I would be asked if I could love/live with a woman who made more money than me.  I always said 'sure!'  I would not mind at all being the homebody while someone else brought home the bacon.  Heck, I know some guys who cannot even accept a female boss at work!

Honestly, I don't think I could handle being a 'pet'.  Of course, that's partly the reason why I'd find the experience so intriguing.  It's an aspect of myself I've never really explored--so I'd be naturally curious about it.

It's in my nature to treat other people as equals.  At work, I play the management role...I'm just not that submissive.  I could never go about bieng someone's furry pet for an extended period of time.  If I ever was to be someone's pet, it would have to be  somone I knew and trusted.  In the end, i'd probably make a bad pet.  

That's how us raptors are, I'm afraid--not so submissive.  Ah well!

Ah-hahahahah! Fun topic.

Thats really a vauge thing though, the whole pet and master thing. I mean, it works to say that you belong to your lover as they belong to you, (mutual thing you know, like how relationships mainly are). And thats how it applies for me. Ive always wanted to be someones lion, and now Ive got a wonderfull vixen who I shall provide all the warm cuddles, support and encouragement, and security for  :)

I've UNINTENTIONALLY referred to my parents as my "owners" and used the analogy of a "tight leash" when my rules were strict on a subject.

This happened the other day and I was like, "woah... did that come out of me?"  It was a wierd moment.  I had to post it here XP

i have to confess that i respect people's choices, but this one, i respect with a chuckle -- a pet? still... if some people are happy being pets, good for them. if it makes you happy, it can't be that bad, no?

some other people, though, (raises paw) are meant to be wild and free. =)

i recently had a chance to see a falcon that appeared to have escaped -- it had a strap of sorts tied to one of its talons. and as i looked at it closely, i saw it wasn't afraid of me at all, and he/she was curious about me too, just too smug to show it. =)

i thought it would be a horrible sin to "break" such a beautiful creature. which brings me back to "some people are meant to be wild and free." especially both. =) well, if they want to, that is.

I may be a pet, but I am still wild and free. I do not consider myself broken in any way, shape or form. To me, being someone's pet is giving them your wholehearted trust, not your freedom. There's a difference between being a slave and a pet, you know.

I've always considered it more of a fun thing.  To have a nametag and be called pet names, etc.  Not so much as to define you in a dominant/submissive relationship.  Plus the idea of being led around on a leash was always oddly amusing and attractive to me.  Really being a pet has never affected my personal freedoms.  I'm sure there's some people who might take it serious, but for most of us I'm fairly sure it's just an idea we take for fun.

Agreed I may be David's pet, but I'm not a slave. Yes, I obey his comand, but any time I want to be myself and noyt be his pet I can.

I thought this would be a proper place to say:

Holy crap, I just got two collars and a leash (all of leather) at the pet store for $3.00 a piece! The thick collar was priced at $30-something and the other collar & leash were also priced quite high too. Thank you, clearance sales.

The thick collar is a medium-dark leather.
The thin collar is the same color, but with fur on it and the leash is the same as the furry collar.

Wow, that stuff probably should have cost around $60+ ... but I got it for around 10 bucks. Always look for clearance items people...

I've avoided reading this topic, because I'm part of the Dominant/submissive lifestyle (BDSM with heavy leaning on the BDS), and I didn't want to gnash my teeth over seeing nothing but silly  "I'm a pet, LOL!"  comments.

Fallen Angel, I want to give you mega-hugs for all of your posts!!  You did an admirable job of educating without being patronizing or snotty.   You make me happy.   :)

As far as myself, I'm a Dominant who would love having a pet.  However I have my own stipulations & standards for that to happen-- as must anyone else who is serious about it, especially those who want to be a pet.  Being submissive does NOT mean automatically abandoning your rights.  

Both potential owner & pet should be certain that all parties involved understand what's expected, what the limits are, and will respect them.  Don't be so enraptured with the idea being/owning a pet that you will accept just anyone.  That can lead to a negative experience, and is potentially dangerous.

There are as many different types of pet/owner as there are people.  Everyone has their own take on it.  None of them are wrong.   :)

Oh wow, thank you. ^_^ It's very hard to not come off like a complete b***h sometimes, cause I've VERY outspoken and I have a VERY low tolerance for some things. x_x

 Heck, I'm not even very dominant to my mate (who is Keeper, BTW), much to her dismay. X3 I never thought I'd ever be in a D/S relationship and, honestly, we both have more 'switch' attitudes about it. So I can see it from both sides, to a point. I'm far too independent to ever act as a 'pet' on a normal basis.

And yes, like you said, people should not jump for the first person willing to be their 'master'. Me and Keeper have a LONG standing relationship. We've been through alot together and our relationship is built on trust.

Yeah, I realize most people wanting to be a 'pet' don't fully understand the lifestyle (heck, I'm still pretty much a n00b to BDSM myself, but I do want to learn more) and think it's some sort of silly, online/RL game they can play. That's why I try to make people understand that it's not that simple, it's even more complicated than your basic relationship is because of all the trust and rules that go into it.

True...people/furs that go into a BDSM relationship thinking its a game often come out hurt, emotionally, and somtimes physically. (I've known newbie subs to get badly bruised, and even have bones broken, and newbie doms to get very abusive)  I take a lot of care with my mate/pet, to let him know for sure that he, the sub, is in control of the action, and he should always let me know if he feels the least bit uncomfortable.  I'm careful never to push him into anything that I think would make him uncomfortable.

I tell him that his happiness and saftey are the most important things to me.  I want to have a rewarding, happy and safe master/pet relationship with him.

I'm actually glad I came across this topic because I recently got introduced into that field of dominant/submissive relationships myself. Someone asked me to be their master and I accepted.

Those who have refused strongly to be pets should know this: It's very much dependent on your personality. A very strong-willed individual wouldn't make a good sub. I know I'm better suited for a dominance role (and have the psychological evidence to "prove" it), but it obviously requires experience and a gentle hand to get to it.

What other people have said about those sort of relationships being an indicator of trust is 100% true. But respect the rights of the sub and you really can't go wrong.

I'll try and share my experiences as they come, but I figured being a little bit immersed in this sort of thing myself I should at least give some comment on it.

Ok, I don't wanna get into this but it has to be said.

Pets are contravertial. There are different kinds of pets and different ways of being a pet. The part I find ok is having an 'Owner', and it's usually just a close relatioship and they share special time together, but not in love like mates, but very close friendship. Then there is pet and master, which is a soft way of being 'slave', and we ain't going into that on this PG area, all I say is I disagree with Masters ordering their pets aorund maliciously, and am uncomfortable with it sometimes, especially if they are controlling in a bad way, just to get what they want. It can be very selfish. But some people are into it.

My two cents.

Well spoken.  I agree with that wholely.  To some extent I'm a "pet" of someone else on another forum.  But its only a title.  The person doesn't own me in reality or anything, I just know that person well and its a different way of calling some one a friend in my opinion.

A pet is never commanded. A slave, yes. But a pet is treated fairly, as would any non-human pet. My master doesn't order me around. She may ask me to do things for her, but she never orders.

As for being walked on a leash, I LOVE it. It makes me feel loved, to know that no matter how far I run the leash still connects me back to her.

No bad feelings really, its just the way i think that animals should be free to do what they want to, thats my own opinion, off course they don't have to listen, but if you don't, what you get?

Anyway, sure it must be fun, but its simply not my piece of cake, i have other ways to show my friends i love them ;)

I must be one of the few who totally disagree with it. To me it's taking the furry thing waaaaay too far. I guess if it wasn't almost exclusively tied to BDSM it'd be a little different, such as role playing, but the more you trust someone to let them do whatever you want the greater your risk of being harmed.

One thing I've noticed with the people I do know who have been into pets for awhile is that it does lead to other kinkier fetishes later down the line. It's just a slow process of introducing people to  new ideas. Too often, though, soon all these kinks begin to contribute to a greater extent of what furry lifestyling is all about and then they're really stuck in a nightmare.

As far as relationships go, it's good to want to build trust, but in the long run the slave/master idea most likely damages it. Why should one person be confined to a slave, the other a master? Even if both parties are willing do you actually think you have a right to even exercise such an action over another individual? For the master's it's too easy to power trip being in control of someone else. For those who want to be submissive they need to learn how to actually be assertive (and slaves can't do that, leaving them open to serious personal attack later on in life). If you need to rely on such an extreme method for building trust chances are you're relationship is already headed in the wrong direction.

Besides, you don't want to go too far in something that not even 50% of people who make the committment to get married can even do: stay together ;)

Depends on how far you bring it. If you should only use the RP when having fun together I don't see a problem. Though it shouldn't be all day through.. That can't be good XD

Siiwolf, pet/master relationships are NOT a 'furry' thing. It's also much different than a slave/master relationship!

Please people, read a wiki or something, actually educate yourselves on a topic before spouting off stuff. :goldpissed: The more you know...

Read, learn. Heck, read everything there so people stop being ignorant and learn. Ugh.

Tthe master/pet relationship IS NOT A STRICTLY FURRY THING. Christ. Just because it has the word 'pet' in it, does not relate it to the fandom/culture.

I agree, but most SENSIBLE people don't do this. The D/s relationship comes up AFTER they've been together and have learned to trust one another. Anyone who uses it to begin a relationship or to learn to trust someone is setting themselves up for a whole lot of mental/emotional anguish. Possbly physical, as well, if they're not smart enough.

Yeah, and doing anything leads to something else. That's how people work. There's nothing wrong with new ideas and there's nothing wrong with people praticing alternative lifestyles. FURRIES ARE ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLERS. And most furries are a bunch of freaks. I'd bet at least half the fandom pratices SOME form of BDSM.

Ugh. If half of this doesn't make sense it's because I need some more sleep before work. x_x

The master/pet relationship IS NOT A STRICTLY FURRY THING

Actually, there are very few things "strictly furry".  Drawing anthros, wearing suits, roleplaying, etc. are all things that happen outside the furworld.  And since pet relationships DO occur in the furworld, they are a valid topic of discussion here.  

And, despite any "official" encyclopedia entries, there are really no hard and fast rules for any relationship.  Guidelines, maybe.  But a pet/owner or a master/servant could have unlimited potential.

Though not a 'pet' I have enjoyed being a 'slave fox' at times for role playing.  And I did not need any of the official rules to do so.  Monopoly has rules.  Relationships do not.

Is that really an inherently bad thing? If the person is willing to delve into the concept in the first place, they're either going to be into the ideas of it, or are looking around out of curiosity. The latter resulting in them probably leaving the whole thing if they find it isn't for them. Admittedly, there will always be cases where people find themselves too far into something that's beginning to hurt them on some level, but that typically comes from poor judgement :|

What's to say it was even initiated on terms of building trust?
People tend to be aware of what they want and are aiming for, before they get themself into this sort of thing. In many cases it seems the people involved aren't in it for a "typical" relationship in the first place. And it's not as though this is just something you'd accidentally fall into, and have your life drained away through it, out of "bad treatment".

Still, this is all speaking about a subject that I don't think was originally intended, but I guess the idea of pets could fall under this, depending on a persons' definition.


For myself, I don't know about the idea of being a pet, or having one. I can quite easily see myself as one, I suppose.
In relationships I prefer to be led by the other, but much of it  depends on the person. Although I feel more comfortable with being led, I'll take initiative if I have to. Of course, it's not a matter of giving up my personal freedom to the other, either, and if I don't want to do something, I'm not going to do it. I usually just need to be pushed in one direction or another.

Old threads never do seem to die, especially if the involve something somewhat controversial.

As has already been mentioned by several other people before me, pet/master and slave/master relationships are not exclusively 'furry' thing.  There are many more outside of the fandom that are involved in these relationships than inside the fandom.

I've dabbled in the non-furry BDSM scene and while not finding it the place for me, there are many people who get a lot out of BDSM relationships.  BDSM relationships are not about abuse, but are about trust and often the bounds where trust can go.  A pet or slave must have a lot of trust in a master to put themselves in their control.  Likewise and what many people don't realize who haven't been exposed to BDSM, is that the master needs to have a lot of trust in their pet or slave to let them know when a boundary is crossed or something is happening that they do not want to happen.  Part of a submissive's responsibilities is to let the dominant partner know when something is going wrong.  The deep exploration of trust involved in these relationships can be very cathartic for a lot of people.

(Yes, there are examples of bad and abusive BDSM relationships, however there are many examples of bad and abusive 'straight', 'non-kinky' relationships as well.)

As for being a pet leading to other 'kinkier' things? Well, if you are the type of person to experiment in things outside the norm then as you get exposed to new ideas you will likely try them.  'Kinky' doesn't equate to bad, it just means it's not what the average person would do.  

I like what Party Pony said about there being no rules for relationships.  What works for one set of people does not neccessarily work for another set.

It's not suprising that there are many in the furry fandom who are attracted to BDSM, especially the role playing aspects of it.   Furries like to be creative and use their imagination and many furries enjoy role playing as well.  Is it any suprise that these things become part of their relationships and adult activities as well?

Wouldn't mind it...I pretended to be a dog in 4th grade and got TONS of attention from the girls. They thought it was "sooo cute".

Just give me nice treatment and basic respect, that's all I ask. Heck, I'd even sleep by a girl's bed like a pet.

Ive worn collars from time to time for years. As a matter of fact I'm making a trip to Florida soon to see a friend of mine and she has promised to take me out and buy me a new collar and a name tag =].I look forward to it greatly, even though she's simply a friend and theres nothing sexual about it. She knows I'm a fur and excepts it, though she herself isnt she indulges me from time to time.

Its something that relaxs me and it feels 'right' for all the sense that that makes. Being a girl's pet would please me to no end, but it would have to fall within the confines of a relationship that existed prior to the owner/pet introduction. I find myself both dominant and submissive, and very protective, so playing the part of someone's wolf pet is very natural to me.

Being petted is a very relaxing experience to. Again, not in a sexual way at all, just an intimacy and trust thing. Being scratched behind the ears will put me to sleep in about 11 seconds flat, lol.

I think its an excellent thing, but should be entered in to with caution. Its alot of trust to put in someone and you need to know their in it for the same reasons you are not to try and take advantage of you or the like.

Sorry if this is a stupid question.. But what is SL?

I like curling up by the fireplace on a bean bag. In England we have things called bean bags.

Bad news:

1) The beans are not edible
2) One needs a big bean bag to get total satisfaction.

Good news:
2) Beats a sofa
1) Not as expensive as a sofa

My one is red and is pure cotton.

Sometimes I like pretending to be the cat. I have been known to eat Brekkies. The cat and I have been at war. Once my cat caught me with my head in his food bowl. Cat got claws out and scratched me. I shot up and the cat stood there with arched back.

Gave it some food.

For me I cant stand for being a pet, I mean there is nothing wrong with a pet fox right? Unless you have a pet rabbit then I might see me being a problem.

I like the felling of being wild and free with the world to play in, and to travel to the ends of earth. But I hate loneliness and no one around. But what is another furry for anyway.

But even thought I am wild I happen to like a bandana. :)

Congratulations, but remember to PLEASE BE SAFE! Since this is the first time you've met with this guy offline, meet in a public place, and remember you don't have to play the first time. Remember to communicate to your partner, it's what keeps you both physically and mentally okay. My suggestion is that if you do go off to play, have a safe call system in place. Tell someone you trust what you're doing and where you're going. Tell them you're going to call them at a specific time. (AND FOLLOW THROUGH.) If you don't call, they know to call the police because something went wrong. *hugs* Don't mean to scare you, but it's a dangerous world out there.

Oh, and while I'm not in a BDSM relationship at current, I do consider myself a submissive/pet/pyl. I'm still exploring myself, which is a bit hard out here. Thank goodness for the internet!   :D

I'm a submissive...huff and I had a realy nice mate once, but we were basically never able to see or talk to each other which put a strain on us both. She ended the realtionship because of this. At the time I had no idea about BDSM but, she had been hinting at it all along. So I looked into it found my place. I see her almost everyday now...but she's gone and found herself another...who she is completely happy with...I have nothing against the guy, infact I approve of him...I just really miss my little dragoness...I really shouldn't say 'my'...force of habit I guess...
