That's one of the main reasons that I wouldn't wear a collar, especially not in public. I don't want to be perceived as being "owned" by anybody.

In this case, go with your "otter spirit". Don't listen to society, they wear weird accessories like rings, necklaces, and portable clocks on their wrists.
And the worst part of it is... they aren't even naked. :V

When some people say "I'm not and animal" and "I'm not a pet" it kind of rubs me the wrong way. I'm not bashing anyone that says that but humans are animals. Also, it's not about being a "pet"(to me). It's something that signifies that you have a companion; like a friendship bracket, or a wedding ring. It's not about ownership(well not to me, I am a sub tho). Although, I do see why people come to that conclusion. Meh, maybe i'm just weird.
That being said, I have a nice leather/suede black one with blue stitching. I wore i around campus when I got it, but don't wear it much anymore. I do believe i'm one of the rare types that can pull it off so its not crazy looking. I do wish I had gotten the 1" instead of the 2" tho.

I don't think you're weird at all
. I actually agree with you. It definitely has nothing to do with being a "pet." It's just a very cool fashion accessory.I've always wanted a collar, preferably a studded black collar or a black collar with red tiger stripes. Either of those would be pretty damn awesome. But those are just off the top of my head, I really don't know what kind of collar I'd like. But it's definitely something I'm going to look into

I prefer to not wear a collar for a few reasons: 1) my fursona is a wild animal (fox) that doesn't wear a collar, 2) personally, I don't like the look of humans in collars (especially on me), and 3) collars tend to draw more attention that I'd rather not have. Humans aren't the animals that collars were made for, thus I think wearing a collar is kind of silly.

Of coarse, I don't wear a collar! Being choked by a collar isn't nearly as hot as being choked by hands! No duh, I wouldn't wear one. What do you take me for- a creepy fetishist?

I don't wear a collar, nor do I want to. I think it'd be weird. Plus, it does seem kind of degrading to me, since it would making yourself to be like a pet owned by someone else. Of course all this has been said, and some have made counter statements. But that's my outlook.

Not necessarily, some people keep foxes as pets and many pet foxes wear collars. I like foxes, I like pets, and I like collars. So I would definitely like to have a pet fox and I would probably have him/her wear a collar. 1) Because I would want him/her to have some sort of name tag with his/her name and my phone number on it just in case he/she gets lost and someone finds him/her. 2) He/She would look cute in one ^.^

All collars are degrading, clearly the sign of an unhealthy relationship. The very idea that circular objects represent something is just stupid. What do you think this is, some kind of pagan shit? These people need to grow up.
Also, Goth people are definitely pieces of shit. I mean really, monsters under the bed? They need to doubly grow up.

To whom do you mean ALL collars are degrading? Saying all people who wear collars are in an unhealthy relationship and are being degraded is like saying all black people like rap, or all women like ponies, or all gay people dress like girls. I'm not in any kind of relationship at all, I could go to the store right now (well, maybe not right now since it's night time where I am
) and buy a collar and that would obviously not mean I'm in an unhealthy relationship. And if I wore a collar, that wouldn't make me feel degraded and it would definitely not make me submissive only it would make feel better if it was comfortable and made me look good. And as for the religious/goth reasons of wearing a collar, I don't know anything about that. But I'm not a Pagan or a Goth so I wouldn't wear a collar for any of those reasons. Collars are just neat-o fashion accessories that look good on some people and don't on others. Anyone can wear a collar for any reason at all, just like anyone can be or do anything for any reason at all.

I cannot appropriately express my frustration with you in a witty manner right now, so here is a ridiculous image instead.
No, that is not what I meant at all...

Well sorry, you could have at least made it sound like sarcasm or put the sarcastic :V to drop a hint.

Well, looking by your location... at least the guy isn't in the US, where I think the steel collar with "slave" stamped on it would be a slightly more serious social faux-pas. :V
Anyway, on topic: no, I don't wear collars. Mostly because I can't seem to remember to wear any accessories, even when I want to. But I have nothing against people who wear them. In fact, some even look good with their collars on, specially those with the bigger, heavier-looking black leather collars (the thin ones just scream "choke me, please" to me). I can't see what's so weird about them, either. I mean, I'm already used to people who look at themselves and think "y'know what? I'm not satisfied with the seven holes I already have in my head. I think I'll punch a few more and hang metal bits off them!". A collar is just a studded armband someone is wearing around their neck.

That's the same train of thought I have right now. When I was younger, I used to wear my leather collar with spikes with a silver Gaelic charm in the center.
I recently dug it out of my closet and put it on the Tasmanian Devil plushie I have on my desk. I found a second one and put that on my Windrider cup that I ordered a couple of years ago so he looks like a proper Horde flying mount. :V
