Assuming I had animals to share (I may or may not currently, who knows ) I'd love the concept of sharing with a trusted partner, either casually, or more as a romantic partner. However, one reason to not share has come to my attention, and I don't hear about it a lot (everyone seems to cite security, and fair enough: Once a person has been to your house, they know too much, hehe.)
The thing I'd think is a concern is how random people interacting with my animals might stress my (hypothetical) animals. Years ago I invited someone over to meet my dog, and while I was out doing quick errands they had cornered my dog in an upstairs closet and were attempting to "make friends" but that was obviously not going great because ... they were hiding in an upstairs closet, lol. Dog didn't like the "I'm coming for you!" energy and decided to gtfo, and dude didn't get the hint. Just that sort of, "the dog is telling you they are not into you" is something that I'm sure people will say is obvious, but the subtle versions of the same thing are what I'm talking about. The cow who is moooving away from you because frankly she's tired of your prodding, or whatever.
In the above example, she was totally fine after given space. I know of another incident where someone had folks over to visit his horse, and they were warned that the horse was very sensitive and everything, and they somehow pushed them too far and it took like six months for him to get his physical relationship back with his partner.
All that aside, damn, sharing animals with trusted people is ... just nice. It's sexy, it helps to validate self esteem to have other people around who view a relationship across species bounds as sane, and it's just damn nice to not have to filter out conversation. Or to eat cum out of someone, hehe.
I have seen it more with horses than dogs, I have to say - dogs seem to be somewhat more resilient to people scaring or miscommunicating with them, which is probably the fact that they are predators and thus less prone to "worry" but I've still seen it with them.
Anyone else run into this, or is this just me?
