ORIGINAL: SimplyMichael ...But as Leonidas said, if she isn't feeling it, it is going to be a boring fucking night for both of us. Michael, I'm reading what Leonidas wrote a little differently, if you are referring to this part;quote:
But, as to your hypothetical, yeah, if the submissive is sitting back saying "Ok, here goes, I'm ready to start being humilliated now", they're completely in control of the situation. That's rarely the case though, and when it is, again, the experience kinda sucks. What Leonidas describes sounds like "service topping" (a phrase I learned in another thread.) The OP's first post seemed to equate all humiliation play as a sort of service topping, because of the consensual nature of it. But if that's the case, justme1980, then all consensual D/s would just be this sort of service topping, or "topping from the bottom", that you mention. Since so many people don't seem to "get" humiliation, perhaps there should be a distinction made between at least two different types....I'm hesitant to call one " consensual" humiliation, because all would probably qualify as consensual... But, there seems to me to be a key difference between a type of humiliation that is geared perhaps more towards humbling; that is, it affects the pride, but doesn't seek to damage the ego. It seeks, perhaps, to fuck with self-image, but not self worth. I'm just conjecturing here, in rough-sketch mode. But it seems to me that some deliniation might be useful. I've heard people try to define humiliation as opposed to degradation, but people still get them mixed up (if they were ever that clearly differentiated in the first place), exchanging one definition for the other in every other example that you find.
