What is human pup play?
A human being a pup strives to let go of inhibitions, taking a break from the stress of the human world for a period by personifying a different being.
When you first look at a sexual fetish activity, it can seem truly bizarre. Human pup play is no exception. Like anything humans come up with, pup play can be interpreted and performed differently by various folks around the world. What works for people in Sydney, Australia can be different to what people in Munich, Germany are doing. Wherever you are -
Human pup play is simply a person losing their inhibitions and behaving like a dog to an extent. There can be a deep intense roleplay, with a human pup exploring the world on all fours and forming a deep bond with an Owner, or it can be light hearted fetish play alone or with others. Essentially a person is acting like a canine; a person takes on the role of a dog.
Often you will hear human pups say they want to simplify their desires and motivations as they embrace a new expression of themselves, one that is more animal and certainly less socialised human. As a puppy they can wag a tail, lick their owner's hand, and show feelings in new and direct ways without fear of judgement. It is one of the most thoughtful, playful, and sane BDSM scenes as it involves taking into consideration how you behave and express yourself as you let go.
Allowing someone to explore aspects of themselves may be fun, but what's erotic about it? Sometimes it is pure role-playing with no erotic component. For others they may seek discipline in pup play so they experience dominance and submission which is the turn-on in itself. The pup is always a human pup capable of frisky human sexual behaviour with other pups or their owner. Woof!

Does human pup play mean I will be humiliated?
Within the kink community, there are a wide variety of different practices and behaviours which can include domination and submission. In some people, if they are being submissive, they may take on the role of a dog. That is, they are treated not as human, rather as a human dog and yes, for some people that level of submission may be represented within human pup play. However, the spectrum is huge within human pup play and it is not all about being submissive. Sirius pup play teaches a person to explore things in the present moment, in the now. If a person wants to be degraded for fun and sexual excitement that can easily be incorporated, and Sirius pup training provides learning safeguards and practices to do that scene well.

How sexual is human pup play?
Human pup play can be as sexual as you want it to be. There is no specific scale on how sexual it can be or rules on what makes a human pup play experience, sexual. You may find it a wonderful way to express your sexual desires down to the core of animalistic feelings and to be able to growl and have a really good time. However, sometimes it can be nice just to have a sense of puppyness where you're having fun and able to play and cuddle. We teach people to assert themselves and how to use pup play as they choose, and thus the choice for how sexual an encounter will be is always up to those involved.
The other thing about pup play is that it may open up for you a world of kink. Onwards from pup play, you could explore other fetishes and kinks. Sirius pup training includes exposure to bondage, discipline and sadomasochism (BDSM).

Does human pup play involve real dogs in any way?
No. I cannot stress the answer "no" enough to this question. Human pup play is an anthropomorphic fetish, in that we take on aspects of the canine personality and physicality, rather than physically become canines. Dogs cannot understand human sexuality and the nuance of human pup play as a fetish. It is inappropriate to perform human pup play around them. In no way do we ever want to cause confusion or distress to any canine, nor participate in any kind of fetish play with one. Sirius pup training teaches negotiation and consent and dialogue between human pups. That is all. Watch this video to hear it explained.
Can anyone do human pup play?
Anyone can do human pup play. Whilst it may seem commonplace to see only homosexual male human pups, there are plenty of female pups and heterosexual pups of all orientations and expressions. There is no reason why any gendered person from any background couldn't become a human pup, if that is what they envisage for themselves. It is helpful to have an open mind and to be able to freely express yourself in a sexual fetish in your local community. Mindfulness of your culture and people is important as in some places in the world it can be hard to behave like a human pup. Just remember human pup play is easy to practice in the safety and privacy of your own home. Watch this video to hear it explained.
Are human pups into BDSM or are they Furries?
Human pup play is its own distinct expression of anthropomorphism and fetish play. It easily crosses over into other avenues of sexual and fun expression. There are two major kink/fetish groups that are commonly associated with origins of human pup play. The first is the leather fetish scene which relates to domination/submission. The second is from other anthropomorphic fetish groups such as furrydom whereby some of the personas (referred to in these groups as 'fursonas') which have been created are actually of the canine form. There are other avenues leading to human pup play as well. It can be as easy as a web search nowadays. For some people it is really about finding a group of people or activities that they are comfortable with, that they enjoy participating in. Of course being a human pup does not even require being in a community. You can enjoy human pup play all by yourself in your own way.
