Humiliation play is a huge part of many kinks, including cuckolding, toilet games and sexual humiliation. It can be highly arousing, especially when the degradation is erotic.
But, it’s important to keep in mind that it can be very harmful as well. Here are some tips for safely practicing erotic humiliation.
What is humiliation?
Erotic humiliation is consensual psychological distress and degradation that entices arousal in one or more partners. It can be part of sexual roleplay or BDSM and can involve the genitals or other erotic areas. It can occur in private or public, and the people involved may either be spectators or participants.
Humiliation kinks can include verbal abuse and physical pain, or both. Some fetishists enjoy a combination of both. Some like to be called names such as “slut” and other insulting names during humiliation play. Others enjoy being humiliated in a fantasy setting, such as on the internet. This allows them to enjoy a fantasy that is separate from their regular lives and can be controlled by their partner, or even themselves.
Physical humiliation kinks are often more intense and can be quite painful. Examples include reversing gender roles such as making men do household chores or make them wear women’s clothing, and making them walk on all fours like a dog (called pet play). One of the reasons some people find humiliation arousing is that they associate it with negative things they feel about themselves, such as low self-esteem or an anxious attachment style. Others might enjoy it because it feels dangerous or taboo. It could also be because it evokes feelings of power and control.
Why is humiliation arousing?
There are a lot of reasons why people might be turned on by humiliation as a sexual kink. It can be an expression of their inner vulnerability and the desire to feel unsafe, out of control, and like they’re doing something taboo. It can also be a way to express their power and sexual dominance.
Humiliation can be arousing when it’s used in the context of a sexual roleplay that includes penetrative sex and touching. It can also be used for oral gratification, or as part of a masturbation ritual. The key is to make sure the experience is safe and that both partners are aware of what is happening, so you can avoid any issues with STIs or pregnancy.
One of the most common forms of humiliation play is sissification and forced feminization, where a dominant partner humiliates their submissive by making them dress in extremely feminine clothing and act like a woman. Another form of humiliation is pet play, where the bottom partner is made to feel like a dog or cat.
Another reason why humiliation can be arousing is because it’s often combined with pain. Masochism is an umbrella term for any sexual pleasure derived from physical or psychological pain. Humiliation is one of the most commonly known types of sexual masochism, and it can be enjoyed by either gender.
How can I get started with humiliation?
There are a lot of ways to incorporate humiliation play into the bedroom, but it’s important that this kink is always done with the full informed consent of both partners. It’s also a kink that takes a lot of discussion and negotiation, as what one person considers to be humiliating may not be the same for another.
Humiliation kinks can range from mild embarrassment to degradation, and it’s best to approach any of these kinds of situations with a bit of caution. It’s important to understand the power dynamics and be aware of any trauma a partner may have, even in the most benign of scenarios.
Sexual humiliation is often associated with sissification and forced feminization, which can be a highly satisfying form of kink for some people. It can include anything from the more obvious (like making a man wear extremely feminine attire) to the less obvious, such as questioning and challenging the submissive.
Erotic humiliation can be a very intimate experience, as it’s often used to build trust and create an intimate safe space for exploration. But it’s important that this intimacy is paired with great communication, so the submissive knows exactly what to expect from their Dominant and can be trusted to carry out their requests. It’s also important to be clear about the boundaries, as this type of kink can quickly turn into a more aggressive and damaging relationship without proper communication.
What can humiliation do for me?
In the kink world, humiliation play is hugely popular. According to a recent study of cis-gendered women affiliated with the kink community, 43 percent enjoyed verbal abuse and humiliation from their partners. And 26 percent enjoyed humiliating their partners in the same way. This type of play can be as light or as intense as you want, depending on the underlying themes and your own goals for it.
Typically, this kind of erotic psychological humiliation is used as part of dominant-submissive relationships. But it can also be used in other kink-related activities, such as powerplay. Either way, the goal is to achieve feelings of submission for the person being humiliated and dominance for the person implementing the humiliation.
It can include physical degradation as well, such as making someone do house chores (often in the nude) or putting them into a cuckold position. It can also involve verbal degradation, such as calling someone a sissy, a whore, or a puppet. Using derogatory names that highlight your partner’s insecurities is particularly effective, says Buss.
As with any kink-related activity, it’s important to make sure that any type of humiliation is consensual. This includes ensuring that it isn’t used as a lead-up to sexual acts, which could increase the risk of STIs and pregnancy. It’s also important to have clear communication and a safe space for this kind of play.
