 As with all sexual activities, some people have sexual fantasies about humiliation, and others actually undertake it as a lifestyle or in a [[scene]]/[[session]]. Sexual fantasies of humiliation are very common, but for most people remain a fantasy - they would have strong reservations about it being public, or engaged in with a partner for real, however erotic the idea may be. Others do explore humiliation with partners, and many people use online humiliation (where the humiliator and others are involved [[Cyber Domination| via the internet]] using chat, email, websites, etc.) as a compromise between exhibitionism and reality on the one hand, and safety and anonymity on the other.
-If you are going to add a humiliation element to your [[session]], be sure to use effective communication and [[negotiate]] this element before doing a session. Ask about cold words, words to avoid that cause bad forms of humiliation, and hot words, words to use to cause good forms of humiliation.  Some people may not know what their hot and cold words are, or may be exceptionally shy about speaking of them, even pretending they do not exist.  If you are to experiment with humiliation, tread very carefully and remember to move [[low and slow]].

 Humiliation is not precisely the same as [[domination]], as the [[bottom]]/devotee is not necessarily seeking to be ordered about, but does require that the humiliation come from a dominant space. Humiliation comes into its own as a sexual force when the devotee seeks the humiliation over and above the means, for example when being spanked is primarily valued because of the belittlement involved, not the physical sensation of the spanking. As such, it might be considered an eroticized version of what otherwise might appear to be [[paraphilia]]. Humiliation can also be for a set [[scene]] or as an ongoing facet of a [[relationship]].
-Humiliation in general touches strong emotional buttons, the more so when it becomes sexualized. Because of this, consent and paradoxically a high degree of awareness and communication is needed, to ensure that the result is desirable rather than abusive. For example, a submissive may enjoy being insulted in some ways, but genuinely crushed and devastated if humiliated or insulted in other ways.

 Humiliation play is also connected to sexual fetishism, in that non-sexual activities may become sexualized by association with arousal, and also may be associated with exhibitionism in the sense of wanting others to witness (or being aroused by others witnessing) ones sexual degradation.

-Humiliation is very open ended and entirely subjective as well as contextual. What one person finds humiliating may fill another with pride.  Broadly it can be divided into verbal, and physical aspects. The activities listed could be enjoyed for entirely non-humiliating reasons as well. Some sexual humiliation involves inflicting pain but much of it is far more concerned with ridicule, mocking, degradation and embarrassment.

		+	Humiliation is the abasement of pride, which creates mortification or leads to a state of being humbled or reduced to lowliness or submission. It is an emotion felt by a person whose social status has just decreased. It can be brought about through intimidation, physical or mental mistreatment or trickery, or by embarrassment if a person is revealed to have committed a socially or legally unacceptable act. Whereas humility can be sought alone as a means to de-emphasise the ego, humiliation must involve other person(s), though not necessarily directly or willingly. Acting to humiliate oneself may be linked to a personal belief (as with mortification of the flesh, with some religions), or it can be part of erotic humiliation where the belittling activity provides emotional and/or sexual arousal or heightened sensation.
		+	Humiliation is currently an active research topic, and is now seen as an important - and complex - core dynamic in human relationships, having implications at intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional and international levels.
		+
	Humiliation play is the consensual use of psychological humiliation in a sexual context, whereby one person gains arousal or erotic excitement from the mixed and powerful emotions of being humiliated and demeaned. The humiliation need not be sexual in itself, as with many other sexual activities it is the feelings derived from it which are sought, regardless of the nature of the actual activity. It can be verbal or physical humiliation, and can be relatively private or public. Often it can become ritualized, and unlike some sexual variations it can also be easily carried out over a long distance or online. The distinction between humiliation and dominance in an activity such as erotic spanking is that the sought after effect is primarily the humiliation, the activity is just a means to that end.
