Erotic humiliation
This article may contain original research. (May 2021) |

Erotic humiliation, or sexual humiliation, is consensual psychological humiliation done in order to produce sexual arousal,[1] particularly as a sexual fetish in the context of a domination and submission activity. Erotic humiliation can also occur in various other contexts, including pornography, webcam modeling, BDSM and sexual roleplay.
Relatively little has been written about erotic humiliation.[2][dubious – discuss]

Psychology
[edit]


Humiliation in general stimulates some of the same brain regions associated with physical pain, suggesting that social rewards and punishments can have strong psychological effects.[11]
For some individuals, humiliation-related practices may function as a form of ego reduction or as a way of overcoming sexual inhibitions. Certain communities may reclaim or eroticize insults historically used against them, including terms associated with homophobia.[12]
The humiliation itself is not considered intrinsic to any particular act or object. Rather, it is semiotically constructed through the shared attitudes and interpretations of the participants, who assign humiliating significance to specific acts, objects, or body parts.[13]
