What is pet play meaning?

Pet play is a form of BDSM role-playing in which the dominant partner takes on the role of the owner or trainer of a pet, while the submissive partner takes on the role of the pet. This can involve dressing up in animal costumes, such as puppy or kitten outfits, and acting like an animal, including eating from a bowl on the floor, crawling on all fours, and being petted or disciplined like a pet. Pet play can be a way for people to explore power dynamics, intimacy, submission, and fetishism, and is often practiced within a consensual, trusting relationship. It can also involve elements of humiliation, obedience training, and punishment. Some people also involve different types of animals, such as ponies, pigs, or even unicorns in their pet play.
