Behind the Paddle
E94: Collars and Creatures: Inside the World of Petplay
What happens when humans shed language, drop to all fours, and find freedom in a collar? In this deep-dive Petplay episode of Behind the Paddle, host Porcelain Victoria explores the culture, psychology, and practicalities of pet/handler dynamics from ancient animal rites to modern pup hoods and kitten ears.
You’ll hear:
- What petplay is (and isn’t): clear consent lines, why it’s not zoophilia, and how sexuality ranges from non-sexual nurture to explicitly erotic power exchange.
- A quick history: shapeshifting gods, shamanic rites, leather culture, and the internet boom that made pups, ponies, kittens, and fantasy creatures visible worldwide.
- Petspace 101: the creature headspace, common triggers, and ways to enter/exit safely.
- Rituals & training: grooming, feeding, bedtime, obedience games, and bratty play—plus discipline styles that build trust.
- Handlers & ownership: roles (Handler, Trainer, Owner), traits of a good dominant, and what a healthy bond looks like.
- Community & visibility: public play etiquette, pet zones at events, and finding your pack.
- The deep emotions: shame and exposure, healing through animal role, nonverbal communication, red flags, and repair.
- Commitment & endings: collaring ceremonies, aftercare for drop, and how to navigate breakups with care.
