Those in the community that wear a collar (or ask that their partner(s) do) do you wear them in public and do you notice any recognition from others when you do?

    I struggle to see how wearing a collar is any worse than vanilla folks wearing a wedding ring in public. And I say this as someone who’s pretty vanilla. It’s a symbol of a relationship, how is that hurting or even involving others?

      Personally I draw the line at leashes. But it depends what public means. In more adult spaces, especially somewhere like a club or a dance I see no problem at all. Collars are just sort of like chokers. They just look kinkier.

      To be clear I don’t think people shouldn’t be allowed to use leashes anywhere or whatever, that’s just sort of where the personal line is for me. As in if someone asked me “Hey, should I leash up my sub while shopping” I’d say “probably not”. It’s not like I’d ask someone to please remove one if I saw them.
