Kind of a strange question. Now for the background. I have a boyfriend, Q who is mildly interested in the BDSM/Pet scene and I was wondering if you'd know of some resources (Besides this site) I could give him that would either expand his interest and give him hints at what would help him help me enjoy myself or make him decide once and for all this isn't for him. I realize that talking to him is by far the best way to help, but it just doesn't mesh with his learning style. So anything that gives you pet training ideas/insperation would absolutely help!
Any help is appreciated! >^.^<

I've been trying to think of something, but so far I'm drawning a blank.
I think one of the best ways to introduce someone to this sort of thing is with stories they can read. Sadly I've never found any kitten stories and very few pet stories that I consider good. Most pet play stories I've seen start with someone being captured and then forced to become a pet against their will.
Maybe others on this site can direct you to some decent petplay stories you can read him to help him get an idea of what you are looking for.
Hrm, this is a tough one. Usually, in my opinion it seems to work like this. You can teach someone to be into aspects of BDSM, but if it is not already a part of who they are, the will never really be a Dom or Owner. Just as you can never truly take the Dom or Owner out of someone who BDSM is a real part of.
I would suggest analyzing him, his reactions, and his unspoken words when the subject is brought to attention. Does he seem more then just interested? Is there excitment in his eyes? Does he know how much you are really into it? At the very least if he is destined for a vanilla lifestyle, you can still help him develop a 'kink' side. Even if it is not more lifestyle oriented.
Sadly this is all the advice I can seem to give, since I'm not there and I can't anaylize the situation or the person in question :P
I think one rule that helps, is before you get into any petplay, talk about what you want out of it! If both of you want different aspects of the lifestyle, it isn't going to work, is it?
There's a lot of sites out there on the Net you can refer to, just remember that some will be absolute crap and others are made of gold. Also, as you can see once you start your searches, a large number of the petplay sites were written for the gay community. It doesn't mean they're not applicable, just written from a different perspective. MissA has links to the better pet sites I've found so far, but here are a couple that deal with the introductory aspects to BDSM: http://www.londonfetishscene.com/wipi/index.php/Main_Page http://www.albanypowerexchange.com/BDSMinfo/articles.htm
