Adultery
–
Adultery is extramarital sex that is considered objectionable on social, religious, moral, or legal grounds. A single act of intercourse is generally sufficient to constitute adultery. Historically, many cultures have considered adultery to be a serious crime. Adultery often incurred severe punishment, usually for the woman and sometimes for the man, with penalties including capital punishment, mutilation, such punishments have gradually fallen into disfavor, especially in Western countries from the 19th century. In most Western countries, adultery itself is no longer a criminal offense, Adultery is not a ground for divorce in jurisdictions which have adopted a no-fault divorce model. In some societies and among certain religious adherents, adultery may affect the status of those involved. In countries where adultery is an offense, punishments range from fines to caning. A joint statement by the United Nations Working Group on discrimination against women in law and in states that. In Muslim countries that follow Sharia law for justice, the punishment for adultery may be stoning. There are fifteen countries in which stoning is authorized as lawful punishment, though in recent times it has been carried out only in Iran. In some jurisdictions, having sexual relations with the wife or the wife of his eldest son constitutes treason. The term adultery refers to acts between a married person and someone who is not that persons spouse. It may arise in criminal law or in family law, for instance, in the United Kingdom, adultery is not a criminal offense, but is a ground for divorce, with the legal definition of adultery being physical contact with an alien and unlawful organ. Extramarital sexual acts not fitting this definition are not adultery though they may constitute unreasonable behavior, the application of the term to the act appears to arise from the idea that criminal intercourse with a married woman. Tended to adulterate the issue of an innocent husband, and to expose him to support and provide for another mans. Thus, the purity of the children of a marriage is corrupted, the term adultery, rather than extramarital sex, implies a moral condemnation of the act, as such it is usually not a neutral term because it carries an implied judgment that the act is wrong. In the traditional English common law, adultery was a felony, although the legal definition of adultery differs in nearly every legal system, the common theme is sexual relations outside of marriage, in one form or another. Traditionally, many cultures, particularly Latin American ones, had double standards regarding male and female adultery

Ancient Greek eros
–
Ancient Greeks used the word eros to refer to different aspects of love. This diverse range of meanings is expressed by the plurality of Greek words for Love, the term was used to describe not only the affectionate marital relationship between a man and a woman but also the institution of pedagogic pederastic relations, solemnized in certain Greek poleis. Such was the importance of eros for the ancient Greeks that the god of love, also named Eros, was held in Hesiods cosmogony to be the primordial deity, ancient Greek philosophers were also interested in the conception of eros, which became a central issue in their analyses. In particular, Plato devoted two of his dialogues, Phaedrus and Symposium, to the dimensions of love. The term Platonic love derived from the influential writings. There are a few records of womens lives and loves in ancient Greece. The majority of women in some poleis were not educated as much or as well as men, according to the biographer Plutarch, Hipparete loved her husband, but she attempted to divorce him because he consorted with courtesans. She lived with him until her death and gave birth to two children, a daughter and a son, also named Alcibiades. Another famous relationship between a man and a woman in ancient Athens was the involvement of Aspasia with the Athenian statesman Pericles. Aspasia was born in the city of Miletus in Asia Minor and was possibly a hetaera and she became the mistress of the Athenian in the early 440s and, after he divorced his first wife, began to live with him, although her marital status remains disputed. In Sparta, the status of women was stronger and the marital rituals were solemnized. The ideal outcome of marital eros in Sparta was the birth of a healthy boy, according to modern studies, pedagogic pederasty is thought to have been introduced around 630 BC. The institution has its roots among the Dorian Greeks, where it was a recognized institution, according to Plato the Dorians were the first who even gave a pederastic meaning to the myth of Ganymede. Crete is regarded as the birthplace of eros paidikos, researchers of the Spartan civilization, such as Paul Cartledge, remain uncertain about the sexual aspect of the institution. The nature of possible sexual relations remains, however, disputed. According to the Greek classicist Ioannis Sykoutris, paidikos eros was interconnected with the notion of education, in Symposium, eros is described as a universal force that moves all things towards peace, perfection and divinity. Eros himself is a daimon, namely a creature between divinity and mortality

Animal roleplay
–
Animal roleplay is a form of roleplay where at least one participant plays the part of a non-human animal. As with most forms of roleplay, its uses include play, Animal roleplay may also be found in BDSM contexts, where an individual may take part in a dominant/submissive relationship by being treated as an animal. The activity is referred to as petplay. However, not all types of animal roleplay within BDSM are petplay and not all petplay in BDSM involves roleplaying as an animal, some can be referred to as primal play and furry play. The origins of animal roleplay and petplay are probably various and diverse, however, its origins are certainly influenced by costuming, fiction, myth and legend, roleplay and psychodrama in their various aspects. Some of the earliest published images of play are to be found in the work of John Willie. Examples of the former include many of the American Indian tribes, examples of the latter are evidenced by cave paintings. In 1911, Julia Tuell photographed the last Animal Dance performed by the Northern Cheyenne of Montana and it is also sometimes used in education, especially physical education, as a way to encourage people to exercise the body in unusual ways, by mimicking various animals. In manga and anime, a common character type is the catgirl. A standard catgirl resembles a teenage girl with cat ears, a tail, tiny fangs. Examples include Cat Girl Nuku Nuku, Pink from Dragon Pink, real-life costume play, or cosplay, of anime catgirls could be considered a form of pet play. That catgirls are humanoids with lesser attributes of felines means that the costume is a simple one. Though kittenlike timidity and submissiveness are prominent elements of catgirl charm, all involve animal qualities taken on by a human. Some would even count the enactment or spiritual belief in therianthropy as falling under human animal roleplay or transformation play as well. Peter Shaffers 1973 play Equus tells the story of a man who has a pathological religious fascination with horses. Andrew Lloyd Webbers 1981 musical Cats traces a tribe of urban cats, like much of erotic play and roleplay, animal roleplay in an erotic or relational context is entirely defined by the people involved and by their mood and interests at the time of play. To the greater extremes of dressing up as a pony in modified horse tack, masks, prosthetics, public participation in human animal roleplay is varied. A couple could inconspicuously role-play a silly but loving pet play scene in public, in the case of some BDSM fetishists, one partner may wear a dog collar with a leash attached
