Definition of humiliation in BDSM

In BDSM, humiliation is a psychological interaction that typically involves one party (usually the dominant, Dom) using words, actions, or situational design to make the other party (usually the submissive, Sub) feel a certain degree of shame, embarrassment, or inferiority. This humiliation is not actual harm, but rather a mutually agreed-upon role-playing or situational setting aimed at enhancing the dynamics of dominance and submission, or stimulating the participants' emotional and sexual pleasure.

Humiliation can be categorized into the following types:

  1. Verbal humiliationVerbal Humiliation): Use derogatory language, nicknames, or ridicule to provoke the other person, such as calling them "puppy" or "idiot" (you need to confirm beforehand that the other person accepts the words).
  2. Behavioral humiliation(Behavioral Humiliation): Demanding that the other party perform certain behaviors that make them feel ashamed, such as publicly obeying orders, wearing certain clothing, or completing a certain task.
  3. Public humiliation(Public Humiliation): Humiliating acts performed in a safe public setting (such as a BDSM party or private gathering), such as making the other person show submission or accept mild mockery.
  4. Situational humiliation(Situational Humiliation): Designing specific situations, such as playing a certain role (e.g., student and teacher, servant and master), to create a sense of humiliation.

In BDSM, the core principle of humiliation isSafety, rationality, consent(Safe, Sane, Consensual). All participants must communicate fully before the activity, setting boundaries and safety words to ensure the experience is comfortable and enjoyable for both parties.

Humiliating games: How to play them?

Humiliation can take many forms, depending on the participants' preferences, boundaries, and creativity. Here are some common humiliation techniques for your reference (please note that all techniques must be performed with the consent of both parties):

Application of verbal humiliation:

    • MildUse mild, derogatory language, such as "You're naughty" or "You need to be disciplined." These words often have a flirtatious connotation and are suitable for participants trying humiliation for the first time.
    • moderateUse more direct, humiliating language, such as "You're useless; you can only obey my orders." Both parties need to confirm their level of acceptance beforehand.
    • SevereThis involves more intense denigration or humiliation, such as simulating power imbalances in dialogue (like master and slave). This requires a high degree of trust and clear boundaries.

    Design of behavioral shaming:

      • Obey the mission: Requires the subjugator to perform simple tasks, such as kneeling, fetching things for the dominator, or performing a "shameful" action (such as imitating an animal).
      • Clothing Control: Requesting the other party to wear specific clothing, such as revealing clothes, collars, or other accessories that symbolize submission.
      • Body displayIn a safe environment, ask the other party to show body parts or poses to enhance their sense of submission.

      Scenes of public humiliation:

        • In BDSM parties or private gatherings, the dominant may demand that the submissive publicly demonstrate obedience, such as by accepting commands in public or by making mild mockery.
        • Public humiliation must be handled with extreme care, ensuring the setting is safe and that no non-consenting bystanders are involved.

        Role-playing:

          • Design specific role-playing scenarios, such as teacher and student, doctor and patient, master and servant, etc., to create a sense of humiliation through power dynamics.
          • For example, the dominant person might act as a strict teacher, criticizing the submissive person's "homework" and demanding corrections in exchange for a "reward".

          Safety Terms and Aftercare:

            • Before engaging in humiliating games, both parties should establish safety terms (e.g., "red" means stop immediately, "yellow" means slow down). This ensures that either party can terminate the activity at any time if they feel uncomfortable.
            • Humiliation tactics can trigger strong emotional reactions, making follow-up care especially important. The dominant should engage in emotional communication with the subjugated person after the activity, acknowledging their feelings and offering comfort and support.

            Why do men enjoy being humiliated?

            Men's liking for humiliation (whether as a dominant or submissive partner) can stem from psychological, emotional, or sexual needs. Here are some common reasons:

            The psychological motivation of the dominator:

              • Sense of power and desire for controlFor many male dominators, humiliating their partner enhances their sense of power and control, which is a core psychological satisfaction in BDSM. Through verbal or behavioral humiliation, the dominator can feel a sense of control over the situation and the partner.
              • Challenges and conquestsHumiliation can be seen as a challenge, satisfying a man's psychological need for competition or conquest by making the other person "submit".
              • Sexual PleasureHumiliation may be directly related to sexual arousal, especially in dynamics of dominance and submission, where humiliation can enhance sexual tension and intimacy.

              Psychological Motivations of Submission:

                • Pressure reliefMen who assume high-pressure roles in daily life (such as workplace leaders) may release stress by playing the role of a submissive. Accepting humiliation allows them to temporarily relinquish control and experience the freedom of being dominated.
                • The allure of shameFor some men, the shame triggered by humiliation may be related to sexual arousal, a psychological stimulus that may stem from the pleasure of taboos or transgressions.
                • Emotional connectionAccepting humiliation requires a high degree of trust, which deepens the emotional connection with the ruler and makes the submissive feel accepted and cared for psychologically.

                Cultural and social factors:

                  • Traditional gender roles expect men to demonstrate strength and control, which may lead some men to seek the opposite experience in BDSM, exploring their vulnerabilities through humiliation.
                  • Forbidden AttractionHumiliation, as a socially unacceptable behavior, may be attractive to some men because of its taboo nature.

                  Why do women enjoy being humiliated?

                  Women's motivations for enjoying humiliation (as a dominant or submissive role) are also diverse, involving psychological, emotional, and sexual factors. Here are some possible reasons:

                  The psychological motivation of the dominator:

                    • Sense of control and confidenceFor female dominators, humiliating their partner can enhance their confidence and sense of control, especially since women may be expected to be more submissive in traditional gender roles, and BDSM provides a safe space for them to assert their power.
                    • Gamified Power DynamicsHumiliation can be a fun form of role-playing, and female dominators may enjoy designing scenarios and challenging the other person's boundaries.
                    • Sexual PleasureThe dominant person may experience sexual satisfaction by humiliating the other person, especially when they see the other person's reaction to the humiliation.

                    Psychological Motivations of Submission:

                      • Liberation and relaxationFor women who take on multiple roles (such as in the workplace and at home), accepting humiliation may be a form of liberation, allowing them to temporarily set aside their responsibilities and immerse themselves in a state of being dominated.
                      • Shameful sexual attractionSimilar to men, the shame triggered by humiliation may be associated with sexual arousal, and this psychological stimulus may stem from taboo or emotional surrender.
                      • Emotional intimacyAccepting humiliation requires a high degree of trust, which allows the female submitter to feel a deep connection with the dominant person and enhances intimacy.

                      Cultural and social factors:

                        • Women are often expected to be gentle and submissive in society, which may lead some women to seek more extreme surrender experiences in BDSM in order to explore their own boundaries.
                        • On the other hand, female dominators may challenge traditional gender roles through humiliation and experience the thrill of control, which may be difficult to achieve in daily life.
