What is humiliation in a BDSM context?
Humiliation play is a form of sexual arousal from humiliation, shame or embarrassment. Humiliation play is tricky because it is often difficult to discern whether the person seeking humiliation is doing so because it arouses them or because they find negative self-affirmation in it. It is very difficult to explain it to someone who doesn’t understand it. While humiliation play doesn’t cause injury in a physical manner it can be psychologically harmful. It should be considered a form of edge play with the risks of possible psychological harm weighed carefully.
