The difference between Furries and Pet Players

I've had to address this topic a few times in the last week so I thought I'd put this out there for everyone. :) Please be aware, I'm totally happy speaking about both of these things to anyone, feel free to approach me and ask questions!

Now, I identify as both a furry and a pet player. I've found that the easiest way to describe the difference to people who are unsure of the difference is the following.

Being a furry is being part of a fandom, a group of people who enjoy anthropomorphic animals (animal people, if you will). Sure there are some people that have fursuits and go to conventions and draw furry porn. I want a fursuit, I'd love to go to a con when I've got the time and I draw a lot of furry artwork and some of it is porn. I generally equate being part of the furry fandom as being part of any other fandom, like trekkies, or cosplayers, etc. You're part of a group of people that enjoy a general theme. Some people sexualize it, some people fetishize it, some people just enjoy disney movies like Robin Hood.

Being a furry for me is about identifying with an animal and enjoying its attributes. It's not a sexual thing for me personally. I identify as a coydog (coyote dog mix), it seems to suite my personality.
Petplay is more of a fetish. It can be sexualized or not.

For me, pet play and pony play isn't really a sexual thing. I don't want to be fucked as pony or a puppy, I just like the dehumanizing factor of it.

A lot of furries are pet players and there is a lot of overlap.

    I'm involved in the furry fandom -- as an artist, too -- and I confess that I've never heard of pet play. Apparently I'm not that involved in the fandom. :-|

Looking for a place to start? Try some of these sites

I've either used or heard of all of these sites. Explications and success rates below. Listed in alphabetical order for.. fairness, yeah. [ Adult Friend Finder ] I can't suggest this website to anyone in my experience. I signed up for an account to get an accurate representation of what the site was like and if you are a free member, literally, every other button you push asks you to upgrade.  The website itself is terribly put together and the layout makes almost no sense. The site has several overlapping features and siging up for an AFF profile also gives you a profile of another type that I was never asked about when signing up. I put links to my Fetlife and SLS accounts and they froze my profile. Long review short - I'd take your time and your money elsewhere. [ Craigslist ] Very very hit or miss. Mostly miss for me, but once again if you know what to look for you'll do well enough. There is a lot of bots, a lot of spam and a lot of people with absolutely n...

KateHarding.net's "Guest Blogger Starling: Schrödinger’s Rapist: or a guy’s guide to approaching strange women without being maced"

I found this article some months ago and was recently reintroduced to it. My last entry had to do with women related things, let's focus on what goes on inside the brains of us very lovey ladies and woman-identified peoples.  The full original article can be found here on KateHarding.net and I recommend every single person that comes to my blog go over there and read it (or read excerpts here). Gentlemen. Thank you for reading. Let me start out by assuring you that I understand you are a good sort of person. You are kind to children and animals. You respect the elderly. You donate to charity. You tell jokes without laughing at your own punchlines. You respect women. You like women. In fact, you would really like to have a mutually respectful and loving sexual relationship with a woman. Unfortunately, you don’t yet know that woman—she isn’t working with you, nor have you been introduced through mutual friends or drawn to the same activities. So you must look fur...

Boots, Boot-Blacking, Boot-play, and when is a scene, a scene?

Boot play and blacking is something that is relatively new to me. I understand that as something that is new, and something that is generally done as a service, it may be difficult to tell whether or not what i'm doing is a scene, or a service. When i am doing a boot scene, i would prefer not to be interrupted. I did a scene last night with Daddy where i blacked his (vintage) brand new boots and kept having people approach me to talk. My feelings weren't hurt, but i would like to make a few clarifications on when i would like to be left to enjoy the leather that i'm into. I am complete and utter boot slut, please let me enjoy that. I've put together a few guidelines that will hopefully make it easy for someone to tell if trying to talk to me is a good idea. If you are ever in doubt, just wait 'till i'm done. If my mouth is on leather, leave me alone. This includes everything from a simple kiss to full on tongue-out-sloppy-drippy-boot-worship.  If boots ar...
