Some might consider our next activity a perversion. That would be the BDSM game of pony play, where people will dress up like horses, yes, you read correctly, horses, and ride around on each other and whip the one playing the horse with riding crops. Lord knows there’s a list of people I’d like to take riding crops to.
The BDSM context, is often in the sense of humiliation. Ones being ridden about like animals are the ones being humiliated, made to feel less than a person. Some love the idea of being humiliated and like being degraded.
These pony play people take this seriously, they put the other person in saddles, bridals, reins and tails and have them pull carts around as though a horse would, it’s all quite bizarre.
There are many costumes and accessories ones into this can acquire online, there is quite a lot of people in the BDSM communities into this type of animal roleplay.
One thing that strikes me about BDSM play, is they often have conventions and parades in public displaying themselves in their get ups. Many other types of sexual play and interests are kept private and not put on display. I guess they feel some types of interests have a playful, even though odd, element to them, so they don’t feel the need to be as secretive about it.
I guess it’s harmless enough, it has been around for thousands of years, but it seems to be more widespread today than at any other time in history. The internet is likely the reason for that, since ones that have a passing interest may research it and then get more heavily into it as a result.
