Human pets (part 1)

Human pet play is a very natural fit for D/s relationships. It works so well on so many different levels. There’s the equipment for restraint and punishment – collars, leashes, whips, cages, etc. There’s the dehumanization and humiliation aspect. Animals are typically naked and at ground level, where humans are clothed and standing. So a very natural power imbalance is automatically created.  There’s the idea of training and punishing to create the desired response to basic commands. Removing someones intelligence by treating them like a ‘dumb’ animal. And there’s also a burden of caring that is created. Animal owners are supposed to look after the pets, where the pets themselves have nothing to do except be pets. So that creates all sorts of trust issues and the transference of responsibility. It’s an area packed with hot buttons for kinky role-playing.

Sadly I’ve no idea who the artist is for this. I do enjoy the proprietary way she’s staring down at him. The cuffed hands behind the back are a nice touch, as it enforces a very animal style of eating.
