New Kink Label?

[Ozme52]

Ozme, I didn't mean the TERM pet was new. But the using it in this frame as a separate classification on the same level as slave, sub, etc. seems to me to be either fairly recent, or a very minor subthread of kink.

As a level of ownership, no, still not new.

Not even new per se, when I was a youngster.

There used to be this way people communicated ideas through stories... I think they were called books... and as a youngster I learned pretty quickly there's really not all that much new under the sun.

Technologies, yes, and they allow ideas to spread more quickly, but the basic ideas... mere variations on old themes.
