BDSM Lifestyle: what's the difference in a slave and a pet?

[Anonymous]

Recently I've discovered tht I wanna b a slave in a master/slave relationship whenever I meet some1 thts in2 it! But I've been readin stuff people post bout BDSM, and some1 tht said they were a master, said they prefer pets over slaves, but they'd settle 4 a slave. So now I'm just wonderin what's the difference in a slave and a pet? Cause now I don't know if I wanna b a slave or a pet cause I don't know the difference. Can any1 tell me what the difference is in being a slave or a pet?

While both slaves and pets are submissive, pets are literally treated like a pet, and pets tend to love the attention and closeness that a pet gets to her master. Pets occasionally get disciplined, but they are mostly stroked and petted, provide a limited amount of service, and enjoy the attention of their master. They get to be close and intimate, curled up next to him on the couch or at his feet.

A slave, on the other hand, isn't there for attention and comfort, but rather for service and discipline. A slave's job is to serve, and the slave's desires have no relevance. A slave is to do what she is told, period, end of statement, and is disciplined if her master's orders are not followed quickly, correctly, and with due deference to her master. A slave is to respect her master at all times, and knows and understands that her place is to serve and to please her master, and is proud when she does a good job and pleases him, and may even be rewarded for doing so.

I'm not into BDSM nor have ever experienced it but logic says that a 'pet' is someone you also display love to, cuddle, care about while making them do things for you and a slave is someone you just simply use for your benefit devoid of any show of love, care and affection

ok I can pretty much agree with this. if your are a slave you want to feel dirty and used. or at least I do. but my master is my guy so when were not having sex I like to be pet like

For me it was just the name. but thinking about it...

Pet is very giving to the needs of the master

Slave is more rough play I think. I am unsure but I know with pets they will sometimes sit on the floor while the master sets on the couch and pets them might even receive a blow job.

My boyfriend was in a chair and I was on the floor playing a game with a friend and I leaned back and my boyfriend played with my hair. Great turn on for me, I LOVED it caus I felt like a pet.

Google slave vs pet I'm sure that will help a lot and you can be both. I am

It's very easy. Being a slave of someone means you must obey him/her 24h day, 7 day per week.
And, sometimes, also means you didn't have any kind of sexual limit.
Be slave is your identity.

To be a pet is the role. You can be a slave and act or be treated as a pet.

pets are usually a part of puppyplay, where the sub is treated like a literal animal, usually a puppy. a Master/slave dynamic is almost like a more hardcore version of D/s. there are a lot of different variations of this.
