What exactly is erotic humiliation, and why do many kinky adults find it sexually arousing and emotionally freeing? Misperceptions and stereotypes, even within the kink world, contribute to the widespread assumption that this kind of play is abusive by its very nature.
Humiliation is a complex and varied fetish that offers many lifestyle players lots of options for embarrassing, degrading, or humiliating play.
