          It depends. Handy is still pretty common and everybody will know what you are talking about. But atleast in my circles we just call them smartphones most of the time now.

              I would think that pup play is just a subcategory of pet play specifically for dog type human pets.

                  Me and all my friends all call them "Handys".

                  And to people not familar with English loanwords in German: Yes, the correct German pluralization ends with a "ys" and not as it would be correct in English: "ies". The same is true for "Hobbys" and "Babys", not sure if there are more.

                    Hmmm. Having a pet sounds fun.

                    But probably not something I'd seek a relationship over.

                      You don't like the idea of having someone gently pet you and scratch behind your ears while they tell you how pretty and nice you are and how they'll take care of you?

                      Cause it's pretty fucking nice even just as a game to play for a couple of hours.

                                Eh, this seems like a niche enough kink that it's your own fault for thinking this sounds dirty. I'm kinda annoyed I know about it now. You should delete this post.
