Walking with your partner on a leash in the street is an adventure and an eccentric thing to do. On the one hand, it is a way to build your own confidence. On the other hand, it’s a great tool for developing trust in a couple. This kind of playful power shuffle definitely adds to the relationship dynamics. Try walking with your “pet” instead of traditional foreplay and experience a different side of BDSM.
Getting ready
For this kind of walk, you need to be in a playful, boisterous mood. Do not do it by forcing yourself or halfheartedly. Discuss taboos and personal boundaries with each other. For someone it’s unacceptable to slap, someone is not interested in obeying commands, someone will be embarrassed to do it in public. Also discuss your wishes and choose the most comfortable option for both.
You can agree on this play scenario beforehand or play spontaneously when the mood appears. You can walk a pet in a deserted park or shock people by bringing him/her to a theme party.
Scenario
- Prepare your pet by harnessing him/her with the accessories. Be careful not to strangle him/her. Take the leash. You are ready to go out.
- You can give your pet commands during the walk. You can feed them treats if they behave. If they don’t listen, don’t feed them. You can retort to slapping a little bit, but we are against animal abuse.
- Let the pet off the leash. Work on the “Come!” command. Do not forget to reward the pet, scratch behind the ear and stroke them.
- You can stop the play at any time in the street or at home. When you get home, don’t forget to wash their paws or take a shower together.
Warning!
This is first and foremost a play. We strongly suggest not to skip the aftercare — the process of tender-loving care and attention. These can be BDSM sessions, rough practices or any sexual interaction. It helps to relax, come down from a feel-good chemical rush, return to a comfortable, safe space. There are many ways to provide aftercare, for example by discussing the sexual interaction that just happened, what worked well and what didn’t, to cuddle, bring water, cover with a blanket or a plaid, take a bath, turn on your favorite music or other.
