Use of collars

Contributor: dv8 dv8
My slave has a leather collar. She wears it in the bedroom as well as at kinky social events.

I have one, though I just wear it because I think it is cute.

I work a collar for 3 years for an ex Dom of mine. My current Sir hasn't collared me yet, although we have mentioned it once or twice in passing. And I occasionally wear a small black collar with a jingle bell on it when I am being a kitty!

My collar is a cute doggy collar we picked at a Wegmans, actually! (I don't wear much in the way of leather or metal, because both irritate a skin condition I ended up with after a bad bout of shingles.) I wear it occasionally when my boyfriend is around, but because we switch for each other, sometimes he wears his, or neither of us is wearing one. I mostly wear it when I know I'm going somewhere I'm going to get hit on or someone is going to try to pick me up. (That sounds concetied )I don't know if it deters them because they know what it means to us exactly, the ownership, or if it's just because it's a dog collar. ^^;;

But I love it, and he loves his (which IS leather, with studs, and a locking mechanism I wish a dog collar could have) and that's really all that matters

I have a collar and I wear it during play with my Dom if he asks me to. It's leather and has a bell attached to it.

I have play collars that I wear during play. In a past relationship I wore a collar but when that relationship ended that collar stayed with Him.

I have a leather collar with spikes. I want a new one with chains.

I own a few collars - two petstore finds and one leather collar that my Cedarlooman bought for me - which are worn at various times.

My petstore collars are for recreation, decoration and kink-play with fellows whom I am not in a relationship with.

My leather collar is only for my play time with Cedar, or for when I'm getting myself off and thinking of him. *blushes*

I have a steel chain (think dog leash) 16" necklace/collar. It has one of the heart padlocks you can find here on EF. The heart is large, but it's cute and it looks like a very interesting necklace.

I never thought I could sleep in something so heavy! I love it now though. I get lots of nice comments from friends and strangers.

Oh, and he has the keys in two secret places.

He was never into BDSM, but he was always dominant. He loves it, too.

I bought one on Eden that is leather and has bondage rings. It's this one and I really like it. It's a bit wide for my neck, but I can still wear it. My boy looks positively dashing when he wears it. We don't use it much, but I would like to use it more. It's so gorgeous. And I don't know why it's called a collar with "mini bondage rings." Those things are BIG. Plenty big enough for us.

I wish there were more collar options available that aren't made of leather.

I have one that I only wear in the bedroom - for a place to chain my wrist cuffs too

I do not have a collar, nor have I ever worn one. My guy has thrown around the idea, though, so we may use one for play sometime. And we've been looking at cute little charms and necklaces

I own a couple collars, including the choke chain from my only Owner thus far (mostly as a reminder of how silly I was to hand over my heart to someone so easily) but I rarely wear them. I do plan on getting a couple more in the near future though that I'll want to wear a bit more frequently as long as they look good and fit comfortably. Steel collars have always intrigued me and I would be more than honored to wear one if I had an Owner still or in the future but I do believe they are only meant for people that are in dedicated lifetime relationships (equivalent to a marriage or engagement at the very least).

It doesn't help I live in a very conservative city where there many idiots that look for anything to be dicks about though and the kink community kinda gives you shifty eyes for wearing collars when you aren't Owned/etc as well as not allowing people to wear them to any events except for play parties (munches which are monthly meet-ups in a vanilla environment like a bar or such are no collar/fet-wear of ANY kind zones).

But hopefully when/if I can afford a couple more collars that are comfortable to wear I'll wear them more often than I currently do and more like in the past when I wore them just because I wanted to.

I have my main collar from Master, one of red and silver braided chain and rather durable, padlocked around my neck that never comes off; and I also have other collars, of both play and dress. I have a heavier leather one for when He wants to tie me up real well, a few other simple cheap collars just for looks that I had before He and I became Master and pet that I used to wear to show my kittyness/submissivene ss but don't really wear anymore, and then one a close friend just made me that is completely a gorgeous dress-up collar to go on in addition to my 24/7 collar for fun that has sparklies and other embellishments including being tied in the back by a big red ribbon--very appealing to my kitten side!! Knowing I always have my main collar locked around my neck is a deep comfort, and makes me smile when I reach up and feel it...I know I belong to Him, and that He wants to keep it that way. And my "pretty" collar makes me feel.....well...very pretty and very kitty! And the play collar is good for some bondage fun as well. Collars are a very significant thing in my life, and I couldn't imagine not wearing anything around my neck!! :O

We have just dabbled in the idea of ownership so far. Hopefully as time goes on we'll explore it more. I like to wear my collars (though inexpensive) as jewelry. Reminds me of our relationship, regardless of the status of ownership.

We use one for play sometimes, but it's not a regular part of life.

My guy and I are "casually" looking at collars for me to wear all the time (more like me trying to be casual while I'm really about to go through the roof with excitement). He likes choker-style ones I think, very simple. I showed him one of the steel collar sites and he said the ones I showed him before were nicer... I'm now frantically looking through sites I've visited to find the ones he's talking about

I wear a collar (a leather one with a bell) when my Master asks me to. During a scene, out in public. I'm proud to be His girl.

My partner and I have a collar that is for use in bed. A "workhorse" collar if you will - it's thick and has a large O ring suitable for heavy bondage play. Neither of us really buys into the "symbolic" collar thing - that's just not the type of people we are. He wants to get me a new collar that's "just for me" that is less utilitarian and more pretty and nice, that I can perhaps wear in public or to events, smaller and more delicate. I like the idea, but I don't see the "locking forever collar" in my future, nor do I really want to

(Congratulations to all who DO that though and who have earned/received theirs)

I have to get one for the bedroom. I love my hair being pulled when it's done in the right way, so me thinks I'll very much love being tugged on from a collar.

I own several collars, I wear them when I'm being the submissive in certain types of play.

I think I'd punch someone in the nuts if they came at me with a collar. But hey, whatever floats your boat. *shrugs*

I own cheap pet store finds for accessorizing, as well as a nice leather collar I use when I play (on my bottom when I'm topping, or on me when a scene needs boundaries). I've also had "collars" (some where anklets) of various kinds while in relationships, both that I wore all the time, and that I only wore to play parties.

If you want a beautiful collar to wear to signify...whatever you want it to signify...do it.

I wear a dog collar I got from Petsmart every day because I like the way it feels around my neck.

I have one studded with stars and interspersed with 5 functional D rings. I wear that most of the time for day wear and sometimes for play. I have a wider and sturdier one from collar factory that I also like to wear out n about, but it's better for rougher play.

I own three collars purchased on my own. There is one I wear on occasion still because I love it too much to just leave it. Once my living situation changes I plan on wearing a collar full-time.

I want to get a collar for my sub - we've discussed it, and he's all for the idea. He would only wear it when I'm domming (in or out of the bedroom), though, since we aren't full-time, though being able to attach it to a leash is a requirement for him.

He also wants me to get a collar for the rare times we switch, because he gets such a huge extra thrill when I actually submit. The idea of collaring his Mistress gets him incredibly excited.
