A pack can have multiple meanings within the lifestyle. Primarily it is tied to to primal play and pet play where a group of people, or pack, is connected with one another. Types of connections are defined within the specific group. Connections can include scene/dungeon play, friends, ENM/Polyamorous, but are not limited to only these mentioned. A pack often has a bond that is closer than just friends, but not by definition also in a relationship with them.
Alternative Uses
Often the pack relationship is also used to indicate a group of friends and/or a polyamorous group of people that hangs out together often, or other types of group relationships. You will sometimes see this linked via an account on FetLife, or as a larger group of people connected as "pack". This does not by definition mean these people engage in primal or pet play, but it is used to indicate an existing group dynamic. Can also be used similar to description of "tribe" dynamic.
