Animal Roleplay

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Animal roleplay may be either a non-sexual or an erotic sexual role-play. In its erotic sexual role-play form, one or more of the participants takes on the role of a real or imaginary animal in character, including appropriate mannerisms and behavior, and sometimes a partner will act as another animal, or, in a sexual context, may take the role of rider, trainer, or caretaker. The principal theme of animal roleplay is usually the voluntary or involuntary reduction of a human being to animal status, and focus on the altered mind-space created. The most common examples are probably canids, felines or equines. Animal roleplay is also used in a BDSM context, where a person may be humiliated by being treated as an animal. Non-sexual animal roleplay was common in many tribal cultures, such as Native American culture and prehistory, where therianthropic play formed an important part of their rituals. In this case the animal was usually either one that was revered spiritually, or one that was hunted.
