HuPets: When Anthropetized Edge Play Becomes Role by Amethyst_glaze and elle marie

This workshop highlights Human Pet Play (HuPets) as a form of power exchange rooted not in animal mimicry, species reduction, or regression narratives, but in devotion, discipline, containment, and belonging. Participants explore anthropetization as an edgy relational framework that blends humanity with the surrender of "being kept." Through discussion and introspection, attendees learn to distinguish consensual role embodiment in objectification and degradation from dehumanization, and how embracing these kinks—without minimizing their fundamentally human desire—can function as sacred, connective practices of trust, care, and validating affirmation.

SELF is incredibly grateful to our sponsors who make magic possible.
