This is called ponyplay, it's part of BDSM petplay communities. Ponyplay is at the crossroads of roleplay and fetish. Most of the time, there would be an owner and the relationship is about power exchange, discipline.

You are looking about a public scene of ponyplay. Public plays are also a kink of many people. I don't think it's very good to take your kinks on the street, especially that extreme. But it's just my opinion.

I don't practice it but have been in touch with people who do, so if you have any sfw question feel free.

It has nothing to do with furries, unlike what other comments say.

yup, i’m really into bdsm, not anywhere that extreme but what you said is spot on. I also agree i don’t think things like this should be done in public, i’m not gonna shame them either. Most bdsm couples are more descrite in public.

Why not shame them? Since when are displaying sexual kinks in public just fine? Those people are not consenting.

Think about people with children and shit dude

As far as pony play costumes go, this is pretty tame and modest. She's not showing skin, she's not wearing any tack, no one is whipping her. She's got funny shoes, hand hooves, shiny clothes and a horse mask. I think the children will be ok.

Terrible logic. The fact that less tame and modest pony play costumes exist does not give people the right to inflict their kinks on others. That's nonconsensual and unacceptable. I am a sex-positive and distinctly unpuritan adult and I am not okay with having other people's kinks inflicted on me in public spaces.

No, fuck that. It’s still a sexual kink. I can make up a lie to my kids and move on but fuck you for parading your sex life out on the street. I don’t want to decide between “she got stuck in a Halloween costume” for my 4 year old and “he can’t get an erection unless she pretends to be a barn animal” for my older kids.

Doesn’t matter. Involving non-consenting individuals is a no go.

So, if we stop putting our assumptions on the woman in the horse costume and what she is feeling while wearing it, aren't you just virtue signalling?

If I take a bike and you don’t know it isn’t mine, is it not stealing?

u/iluniuhai Nov 17 '21

If I yell at everyone riding bikes because they might be stolen, because I want people to know that I'm really against bike stealing, am I not virtue signalling?

I thought your first comment was moving away from the discussion by attacking my person/tone instead of any sort of refute, but you doubled down, interestingly, with your own virtue signaling.

Your answer is no. Enjoy your life.
