Why Do people Enjoy Animal Roleplay – Part 1 Kink and BDSM

Have you ever tried explaining to someone why you enjoy Animal Roleplay so much? 

I don’t know about you but when I try it doesn’t really work out that well 

This is usually caused by 2 issues;

1 – I get over excited and end up confusing people because I don’t finish my sentences and some of the ways Animal Roleplay can be enjoyed are difficult to explain.

2 – There are so many ways to enjoy Animal Roleplay and it feels wrong to exclude the areas that don’t apply to me personally 

especially when talking about the community of Animal roleplay

Unfortunately I can’t help with the first issue because.. well… I can’t even help myself to speak in full sentences when I’m over excited

BUT

I can help with the second one!

How?

By making lists of course! =^.^=

Because there are so many ways to enjoy animal roleplay 

and not because I got completely carried away with this topic… 

This is going to be a 2 part series. 

Part 1 as you may have guessed from the title will be BDSM and Kink related ways people can enjoy Animal Roleplay.

Part 2 will be the Psychological ways people may enjoy Animal Roleplay – I’m really excited to write this one!!

Alright let’s get started!

The main themes I found in the different ways people enjoy Animal Roleplay in BDSM are;

• Power Exchange
• Dehumanization 
• Dependence on D-type for basic needs 
• Humiliation 
• Fetish

Power Exchange

Power exchange in BDSM is a consensual shift in control in which the s-type will voluntarily give their partner control, the level of control and the duration the partner holds this depends on the negotiations prior

If you’d like to read a bit more about power exchange in general check out this link https://www.kinkly.com/definition/801/power-exchange-bdsm

Many people who mix Power exchange with forms of Animal Roleplay find that it increases both the s and D types more aware of their roles and the exchange of power and control

This can add  a whole new flavour and intensity to their dynamic which can be tons of fun to play with. 

Before we move on

I wanted to give some examples of common activities that can be found within a BDSM animal roleplay scene. 

I want to do this because these will hopefully be good examples for the next few sections

So some of the common activities found in a BDSM animal roleplay scene include;

• Movement restrictions (having to crawl, taking away the use of hands or fingers through gloves etc)

• Vocal restrictions (not allowed to speak and/or only allowed to make noises associated with a chosen animal like meowing or barking) 

• Not being allowed on furniture

• Eating out of a bowl

• Use of collars and/or leashes

Dehumanization

Dehumanisation is when you take parts of what makes someone human away.

Personally I really enjoy the feeling of being ‘less than’ human for awhile.

For me, and others,  it can be a really strong trigger for a submissive head space

Dehumanization can also help to the s-type to let go and focus on their D-type rather than outside factors/distractions

Increased dependency on D-type

The common aspects of Animal roleplay I mentioned above tend to  increase the amount a submissive relies on their Top. 

Which can be super fun and affect a wide range of needs/wants, 

These needs can include basics such as food and water etc

Wants however can range all the way from pats to play and entertainment (bored kittens are naughty kittens after all)

This increase in dependency can help awareness of a ton of different aspects including the s and D- types themselves, the needs of your partner, the power exchange (if it’s there) 

and 

Up the satisfaction gained from scene/dynamics

Humiliation

Humiliation is a really interesting aspect to kink and can have different effects on different people.

For some humiliation can be a huge turn on, 

Others it might be a way to access that submissive headspace 

Or a reminder of the dynamic held with a partner

For some animals roleplayer things like crawling, eating from a pet bowl, not being aloud on furniture etc can be a form of humiliation

Fetish

For some people animal roleplay just gets their motor going and thats all there is to it.
