Edinburgh is certainly a kinky city (Picture: Getty Images)
Residents of Edinburgh,a city known for its vibrant arts scene and historic castle,have at times been criticised for ‘snobbiness’.
But it seems they aren’t afraid to get a little down and dirty,as the Scottish hub has newly been appointed as the puppy play fetish capital of the UK.
It’s not just the odd stray getting involved here,with a new survey revealing puppy play rates in Edinburgh are nearly double the national average.
The fetish involves a form of adult role play — particularly popular in the gay community — where people dress up and embody the mannerisms of a dog.
These ‘pups’ or ‘furries’ usually wear a leather dog mask and a butt plug with a tail on the end of it. They may also enjoy the likes of walking on all fours,wearing a lead held by a dominant ‘owner’,barking,eating and drinking from a bowl.
Actual sex isn’t mandatory for this BDSM subset,as many get off solely on the power dynamics that come with being reduced to a canine and answering to a human.
In Northern Ireland,Belfast has also earned a new title in study: the cross-dressing capital of the UK.
While some people who consider themselves cross-dressers may identify with the opposite gender,there are others who simply find the act of wearing this clothing arousing,without it having any bearing on their gender identity outside the bedroom.
