by Sparky
The big event season is underway, from the large national events like IML to the local or regional events and contests. In all of these events, given how many boys own been finding their inner pup, you are bound to run into a pup or two… or dozens.
Nearly every pup I comprehend that has gone out in headsacpe in public has some story of a bad trial. For myself the first time I ever wore my tail out at an event, MAL, a trip across the lobby floor left me with one sore ass from all the men grabbing my tail. What I hoped to be a fun darkness as a pup ended with a very painful removal of the tail and my ass off limits for a week while I healed. Too many hard yanks by packs of guys who felt they had a right to yank my tail. Consciousness you, it wasn’t the entire event’s fault, just a couple of people.
Still, was a extended time since I tried that again.
I have been collecting stories from pups out there with similar experiences; they gave me their impressions of what it was fancy to go to larger events favor IML, MAL, MIR, Dore or Lgbtq+ fest parades. Or their local leather events for those that live in a place where they can go out as a pup if they decide to. The ru

Introduction: What is Pup Play?
Pup play is a form of roleplaying that draws inspiration from puppy conduct.

Pup play is a role-playing game in which humans adopt canine characteristics and behaviours: wearing dog masks, barking, crawling on all fours, drinking from a bowl, play-fighting with other pups and engaging in other dog-like activities.
While still a niche subculture, its visibility is growing, particularly among gay, bisexual, gender diverse and queer (GBTQ) men. Pup play has its roots in BDSM (bondage and discipline, domination and submission, sadomasochism) and particularly the leather community, but it is more a social and community-building exercise than a sexual practice.
Olivier Ferlatte, a professor in the School of General Health at Université de Montréal and a mental health researcher specializing in LGBTQ+ communities, and his colleague Phillip Joy from Mount Saint Vincent University looked at the benefits of pup play for the body image of its practitioners.

He swayed his arm a few times, the men in front of him following every move with their eyes—and then, with a fast flick, he tossed the ball into the middle of the crowd, provoking furious barks as they all clambered over each other, desperate to snatch the ball and return it to him, or maybe just retreat to a corner to blissfully chew on it.
This was the scene at the monthly mosh held by Seattle Pups and Handlers (SEA-PAH), our local puppy-play group. Surely you've heard of puppy play: It's surging in popularity among the gays, and, if history is any mentor, will be surging among the straights in five years when we've moved on to something else.
Let's be clear about this. Puppy play means role-playing as a dog, down on all fours and barking, and yes, it's weird. Of course it is. But I know you're not the sort of person who uses "weird" as a pejorative term, because you're reading The Stranger. You weirdo.
