Ethology Collective
Who Are We?
We are a group of human animal role-players who want to help educate and raise up our community. We offer kink, sexuality, kinesthetic, consent, health/wellness, and other classes, support groups and events. We believe that learning and teaching is most effective as a community.
Is ethology a real science?
Yes. Ethology is the science of animal behavior. This includes the study of human behavior and social organization from a biological perspective.
Why name yourself Ethology Collective?
Humans are among the most complex social animals in the world. Most animals live in packs and learn within their communities. We want to create the same practice within the safe community we are building.
What is Ethology Collective's Goal?
Ethology is your resource for sexual and non-sexual kink workshops, classes, support groups and events. Started by a group of pet players, Ethology Collective aims to provide fun, safe, and consensual play environments for all human animals. We create and provide fun, safe, play spaces for pets, handlers, owners and trainers. We support age players (BIGS/littles), rope bunnies, leather aficionados, sadists/masochists, D/s identified folks, etc. We aim to include anyone reguardless of age (18+), race, gender or lack thereof, financial status, sexual orientation or lack thereof, and more. As we grow, we will also be focusing on fundraising for our community.
What if I am not a pet or pet player?
Everyone is welcome to experience our events.
At our core we humans are animals. Letting ourselves be fully self expressed allows us to be freed up for life. We are a community that welcomes anyone in search of a community.
What do you mean by non-sexual kink?
Not every kink experience is a sexual one. Many activities in the Kink or BDSM lifestyle are about a achieving and maintaining a certain headspace. These mental and emotional states can be very valuable for healing and catharsis, and can vary from creature to creature. Adding the element of sexuality can sometimes diminish this experience.
We believe in providing fun and safe play space for players to connect with their inner selves without the requirement of eroticism or sexuality. However, everything is welcomed with proper consent.

Elisa first saw FemmeMuse being a kitty and using cat toys and drinking from a pet bowl and it was beautiful! She knew at that moment that pet play was to be the most important thing in her life. A few years ago she and her husband had their pet play wedding at The Chase. It was absolutely amazing! That was also the year she and her husband became organizers of The Chase. She loves this community.
