As you clearly stated and I did , being a pet is the submissives choice, Each of us have our own kinks.
All I stated was it was their choice ,not the Doms.
I have been in the lifestyle close to thirty years. long before the internet . And the one thing I know is respect of anyones kinks in whichever form it may be.Yes my pet name for my sub is {pet}.
I have met others in the lifestyle who practice all forms of kink in r/l
leather, pony play, ownership of pets..I have been a member of several clubs, held parties at my home ,attended munches and getaways. I live a 24/7 lifestyle and always have,, not the physical as that I have found to be impossible to maintain, but the mental....If it has been published I have read it about the lifestyle.
So thats my qualifications , I don't back down when someone takes what I say and twists it around, in r/l or here.
