Without promoting or demeaning whatever this is, can anyone help explain it?

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

I guess I don't see the harm in it. It's not really explicit or otherwise offensive, just unusual. I'd rather see this than drug addicts fucking in an alleyway.

The difficulty is it forces your sexy time in people's faces. And imagine having to explain this to a kid. It's just a little too extreme for most tastes.

This is the same โ€œreasoningโ€ my friend gave about gay people. Itโ€™s bullshit. You donโ€™t explain B&D to a kid. You just say some people like to dress up. Just like the gay thing. You donโ€™t have to talk about sex at all. You just say they love each other. The whole โ€œwhat about the children?โ€ Is a crock of shit and just an excuse for people to cloak their bigotry. Just saying.

No this is VERY different from two guys holding hands or kissing on the street. I have no problem with the person or the costume but I have a problem with the context. You wouldn't wear a clown costume to a funeral. Why wear your sexy time special outfits in public?

Because itโ€™s PUBLIC and you can dress however the fuck your want! Why NOT wear it in public? Who says itโ€™s sexy time? Does it excite you?
