do you wear a collar, and why or why not?

I want to wear one, but I don't know "how to wear them." I'm pretty sure I could, and I've been told so; but I don't quite know what would make it work. :x

I have a leather collar that I've worn out a number of times. My boyfriend and I were looking for just the right leash, and we found it last weekend. Chain with a leather pull. I haven't had the chance yet, but I can't wait for him to take me to the bar and lead me with it. I want to be in character and take commands, and I trust him completely (been together 15yrs so I better). I don't know what I'm going to get out of the experience, but I am dying to try it and find out!

Just go to the hardware store and make one =P

I like this one because it could double-up as a pretty good weapon:

I do not wear a collar, but if I did, I'd wear this kind. It's a simple, no-frills synthetic-woven collar with a belt-type buckle, but it's the type of collar that our dog, Stayne (named so because he was all-white with a light-brown spot on his back, and my dad thought that 'Spot' would be too obvious, so he named him 'Stayne' ["stain"]) wore until the day he died. Stayne... he was the type of dog that, for the rest of your life, you judge other dogs by him. He was a beloved member of the family, kept our house safe (never had a need for a gun or home security system while he was alive), would cuddle up beside you in bed, and would survive a fall off the Promised Land Lake dam with nary a scratch. He was... the best dog that anyone could ever have, and if I ever wore a collar, I would wear that type in his honor.

I personally don`t think there is anything wrong with wearing collars...... although on the other paw (hand) it sounds pretty kinky! 0_o

Well I wanted to post a pic of mine, but even though it's a jpeg, it says it's the wrong file type. Probably too big (900kb). and I don't know how to resize it...

To resize it, open it in paint, select the entire picture, right click, go to "resize deskew" or something like that, and then shrink it by 50%

I wear a red collar originally intended for my fursuit. I wore it out once, and now I don't feel comfortable going outside without my collar. Even so, it's quite comfortable and awesome.

Just out of curiosity:
Towards those of you who has collars, does any of you got a badge or tag attached to them?
And if you do, does it carry name, message or something?

My collar has a rubber turntable keychain attached to it. That or a 50 cal bmg dummy round.

No, I don't wear a damn collar.
NUMBER ONE: This is already a weird fetish, why push it farther?

NUMBER TWO: I'm a goddamned hyena. Hyenas are supposed to be FREE!!

Yeah, I've not seen one cloth collar that felt comfortable to the touch...I don't even make my dogs wear them unless its vet time.

My dogs have always seemed to like their collars. No dog likes them at first, but after a while they get used to the feel of it. Even my Labrador I currently have used to run away from me when I removed her collar for baths, and wouldn't let me put it back on. Now when I take it off of her, she immediately looks at it and follows me until I've put it back on her neck. My previous dog did that as well, and would come running whenever she heard her collar jingling.
I'm not saying you should make your dogs wear collars, just that after a while dogs seem to get used to it and even feel odd without it.

The Adam's Apple isn't something I ever really think about. Are there guys without them and girls with them? Fuck, what's the function of one anyways?
I'm pretty sure it's a piece of cartilage, which is part of our voicebox/larynx. I learned that in Voice class, didn't think I'd have to recall that info ever again. XD

firstly i don't wear a collar.

and on the on the subject of the collar equating to fetish in the eyes of the general public, i wear a paracord bracelet on my wrist (this) and 4 times now ive had people mistake it for a bondage accessory. paracord bracelets are far more mainstream then 'furry' so imagine what Joe Blogs is going to think of when they see you walk past wearing a dog collar.

Really? I would think it's more of a military-type accessory at best.


I, personally, don't care for collars. I like to wear things around my neck, like scarves, lanyards, and dogtags, but I just have little interest in collars. I don't think they'd go with my overall appearance, and I don't like to stand out much. Even my fursona is unlikely to wear one, neither of her species are domestic animals...

Plus, people most likely would think I'm into... Other things... Which I'm not, and I don't want to give the impression of. I don't mind that other people wear collars though. It's just... Not for me.

Being a furry isn't a fucking fetish, unless your in it strictly for the porn.

The only reason why I wear a collar is that I like feeling slight pressure on my neck. I find it comfortable. More like choker. I don't think about it as a furry accessory or bondage thing. Maybe I would if I had a boyfriend :V

I wear a collar and a harness at cons. Both are utilitarian. The harness has sheaths for tools, a storage pouch, my keys and wallet chain. The collar has my personal badge, con badge, artist alley license, and small keys I might need such as the one used to lock my luggage. I'm a working dog, not a pet. I can heel just fine without a leash.

When I'm on duty, I wear ID. That means a badge clipped to my shirt collar at work and a dog collar with ID at cons.
When I'm off duty, I don't need people to recognize me, so I don't wear ID. Hence no collar.

Pffft, bullshit.
If it isn't a fetish, what is it?
I'm not in it just for the porn, I like the community.
And I'm insane, there's that.

There's no coming back from this point. You are doomed.
