7. Ordinarily, no. However, I imagine that it might count in some special cases.

4. Yes. But you don't want to go reading much about it if you squick easily.

10. That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about in-person companionship like that provided by a non-human pet. You're simply talking about models. Those models sell their image, not their in-person presence. There are models who sell their in-person presence to art students, but deliberately holding a pose is quite different from typical pet behavior. It's a different kind of gig.

14. I've seen people on leashes
several times. One time the guy was down on all fours while his mistress held his leash. I asked if I could pet her puppy and she gave me permission so I did.

17. No, it doesn't count ...
unless sex between non-human pets and their owners was standard practice when and where you acquired your knowledge of the English language.

20. I know someone who is
Edited on Sun Dec-13-09 12:37 AM by Lorien
He's an extraordinarily handsome man (generally referred to by those who have met him as "the Adonis") who isn't terribly bright. Because he's so good looking and lacking in much upstairs people forgive him ANYTHING. He has a wife who works 60 hours a week and raises their two kids by herself. She also does all the cooking and cleaning. The Adonis just shows up long enough to eat breakfast and dinner, watch TV and play video games. During the rest of the day he hangs out with his friends at a local dojo (doesn't have to pay for lessons) or "works" for a retired older woman who pays him 2k a month for his company. What that means I'm not sure. He visits her for 3-4 hours a day, 3-4 days per week; watches more TV, spends time on the internet, hangs out in her pool...she buys him lunch every day he's there, snacks, drinks, a cell phone, a trip to Japan, a car...pretty much whatever he wants. His wife is "OK" with it because, as I said, they forgive him anything. Did I mention that they all are Fundy repugs? If he isn't a professional gigolo then he is a professional pet.
