Humiliation

Being humiliated is often associated with negative connotations, to make someone feel shamed, to intimidate, but it also brings about the feelings of humbleness and submission, the tricky part is identifying and separating negative and positive humiliating acts and the effects they have on the submissive.

I find humiliation is an effective tool to use to enable me to 'let go' to break away from being the independent, assertive working mother, the woman todays society approves of, because this is what women generations before and today have fought for, to be treated fairly and equal to men, we can have it all.  I have no argument with this, i agree and support that women should have the same rights as men but mostly i support the right as a woman to have choice, i can have it all but my all includes submitting to a man which society isnt so embracing of.

So it can be conflicting at times, or i find it is, i have to keep this very important part of who i am hidden away, its barely acceptable to have a submissive nature, to actually submit to another is not generally something people will speak up about, its funny how we have come so far in so many ways, sex is more openly discussed, we are indeed more liberated today, for me my freedom comes in the form of consensual slavery which doesnt fit.

Humiliation frees me from this conflict, being debased takes me to a place where i can shed societies doctrines, i want to feel less than him, i dont want to be his equal, i need to be taken beyond the shame of the humiliation and welcome it.  That place is far far away from the normal rules, where being called a slut/whore/bitch does not have negative connotations, where kneeling and worshipping his feet is not demeaning to women, its a place where im most happiest and content because im free to be me.

Humiliation 'play' is also something i do enjoy a great deal and we do a lot of it because thankfully he loves it as well, i like being debased, to feel weak and helpless, to be treated with disdain and to feel worthless, its not about damaging my self esteem or shattering my confidence its more focusing on being able to 'let go' and be happy to enjoy these moments and feel no shame because i do. 

Humiliation within M/s dynamics or bdsm isnt complicated, its us humans that are complex and its our experiences and societies doctrines that make humiliation personal to the individual, and therefore humiliation cannot be defined because a particular act that i may find humiliating another may not...we all have 'triggers' that will either be positive or negative.

  1. The part that I found important was that something that may be humiliating to one may not be so to another. This is a tough topic and I appreciate your perspective.

    Good post!

  2. We should find a different word other than humiliation. Not sure what it should be...but you're right humiliation is very negative sounding and doesn't do justice to the positive things that come out.

  3. tori,
    while I very much like this post, that's not why I'm here at the moment lol.

    Someone left a comment on my "I want my husband to Dominate me post" responding to your comment on it, and asking you to contact her, so I figured I would drop by and let you know since I'm not sure of your email.

  4. Just catching up on a few days reading. Humiliation plays a big part in our dynamic. It started out as my request and has grown over time. It is hard to explain the positive aspects of being on the recieving end of humiliationg, the need for it. You did a good job here.

  5. It is very commonly used by my Master. The hard part is sometimes finding just the right amount. I love it, but sometimes it is too much for me.
