For kinky people into bondage and discipline

Many BDSM relationships have a power exchange dynamic and one very classic way to show this is through the use of a collar and leash. It can be used as part of pet play with human puppies and kittens but the use of collars and leashes isn’t exclusive to this kind of play.

Many submissives enjoy being lead round on a leash when they are at BDSM clubs, dungeons or even while enjoying a scene at home. It symbolises the control the dominant has over the submissive, by letting them physically dictate how their submissive moves and keeping them close to their Dom at all times.

Are collars and leashes just for pet play?

Understandably, many human pets love to wear a collar and to be lead around on a leash but this is not the only use for them. Any Dominant could use them with one or more submissives.

How do you use a collar and leash safely?

Make sure not to tighten the collar too much, be sure you can place a finger between it and your subs neck. Don’t pull and tug sharply, as you can hurt your sub’s neck.

Are their special collars and leashes to use for humans?

Some people like to get actual dog collars from the pet shop to use and this is perfectly safe to do, as long as the collar isn’t too tight but you can buy specific collars and leashes for humans to wear too.

How can I incorporate a collar and leash into play?

A Dominant leading a submissive round on a lead can be a very powerful expression of their dynamic. Walking your submissive around an event or even your own yard (if you won’t be seen) before further play can get them in the right frame of mind. A leash can be used during play too. Tie the sub to a post, pull on the leash to bring them closer or keep them away. They’re very useful items of kit.

Domination for kinksters who love control

Control is sexy, and if you're into domination it can be the sexiest kink of all. For some kinksters, D/s is a lifestyle - but for many people it's simply something fun to play around with in the bedroom, and we're fully supportive of both of those fetish preferences. If dominance is your thing and you consider yourself a dom or a domme, it's vital that you develop an understanding of safewords, negotiations and enthusiastic consent. Once you and your partners are both on the same page, though, the sky's the limit. Fetish.com's magazine prides itself on its wide range of articles on the subject, so if you're looking for some inspiration you might want to head over there and do some reading up.

Submission - ready to serve?

Submissives get off on giving away their control over themselves: on being directed and compelled, on following orders and losing agency. Some like to do this through bondage and physical restriction; some by feeling psychologically subservient to a dominant partner; some through pain play. Many like a combination of these things. The key to figuring out a fantastic D/s dynamic is communication--make sure both sides of the equation are getting what they want and what they need, and that everyone is well aware of safewords and limits. Some people enjoy having dominance and submission as part of their everyday relationship, while others prefer keeping it in the bedroom. Either of these kink styles is fine - just so long as everyone is on the same page.

There's more to animal play than 'dress up'

Animal play is also known as pet play and involves a submissive person taking on the role of a particular animal. Most of these roles are pets such as puppies, kittens and ponies but rarer animals can by imitated too. A dominant who looks after a person during animal play is known as an owner or a trainer. They may get their pet to accept treats from their hand, crawl on all fours or wear a lead for example. It all depends on what kind of animal their pet is.
