HuCow
Fetish that involves roleplaying as cows From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human cow, or HuCow, is a BDSM subculture where people roleplay as dairy cows.[1] Since the 2010s, it gained prominence through dedicated forums, fanart websites,[2] and hentai repositories.[3][4]
Description
Summarize
Perspective
HuCow participants broadly consider themselves as cows or farmers.[2] The cow is usually submissive and objectified by the farmer. Scenes are often centered around the farmer milking the human cow's breasts.[4] Human cows are often portrayed with large-sized breasts or pecs, and as being able to lactate.[3] A popular trope in HuCow are settings which emulate the cattle industry,[2] with names like The Dairy Department.[4] Besides breast lactation, bondage is also prevalent in HuCow, where the human cow is bound by a harness to emulate livestock crushes.[3] A dominant partner can also be cattle. In that case, they are instead referred to as a bull or HuBull[4][2] and often incorporate breeding fetish components in HuCow scenes.[3][4] In the gay community, both milking the nipples and milking the penis of its semen are popular fantasies.[3] HuCow is also related to pet play, but unlike conventional forms such as kitten play, it formed a more defined subculture with a less generic name.[4][3]
Accessories
Members of human cow communities also enjoy cosplay. Vendors on Amazon have started to offer products related to this community as the demand grew.[4] Some accessories and costumes used by HuCows enthusiasts are:
- Cow-printed onesies, body paint[4] or bikinis[3]
- Cow-eared headbands
- Detachable tails
- Cattle ear tags[4]
- Breast pumping machines[2] and penis pumping machines.[3]
Prevalence
The modern concept of HuCow emerged in the early 2010s, but hentai porn has portrayed similar scenarios beforehand.[3][4] HuCow participants span across all sexual orientations. According to Justin Lehmiller, a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, the fetish is popular with gay and bisexual man communities because it incorporates transformation fantasies and BDSM, both of which are well-represented in queer male communities.[3] As of 2018, the dedicated HuCow subreddit had more than 23,000 subscribers and a popular HuCow Tumblr had more than 10,000 followers. Some porn studios are dedicated to HuCow, like hucows.com.[2]
In media
The 2018 Doja Cat single Mooo! is credited with rousing public interest in cow-branded apparel and cow-related fantasies.[4]
