What's with the slut shaming? I thought we liked sluts.

I know I do. The wife is 50/50 about them...

Well, people like dogs, but generally being compared to one os considered an insult in most cultures.

Hypocritical, but what can you do.

Historically sure. But pup play with a praise kink is growing from a fetish to a full on counter-culture. Who's a good [boy/girl/pup]?

This addresses the "what can you do" bit. We can turn their shame into a game and mock their mockery. Even without the slutshame/slutpride aspect, pup play often is fully nonsexual for a lot of pup groups and is a great way for lonely adults to meet new people, socialize, and remember to play.

I never got this. The people in my life who call themselves sluts are some of the warmest most caring people in my life. I have to remember not to call people slut as a compliment most of the time because of the people I know who choose that title for themselves
