Humiliation is the sense of shame, mortification, or embarrassment felt by a person in a degrading, humbling, or embarrassing situation. It can also refer to the process of inflicting such feelings, or of placing a person in such a situation.

[edit] Humiliation in punishment

Humiliation has often been used as a means of psychological punishment. Such traditional punishments as the dunce cap, the pillory, and the stocks operate largely as a form of humiliation. Forced nudity, public judicial corporal punishments and school corporal punishments generally have a significant aspect of humiliation. Often, so do domestic spanking situations.

[edit] Humiliation in BDSM or spanking

Intentionally inflicted humiliation is often part of BDSM or spanking scenes. This may consist of

  • requiring the spankee or bottom to publicly expose him or herself, or to be subjected to public punishment, especially so if those watching are friends or family;
  • nakedness, ranging from just the buttocks during spanking to full nudity;
  • having the spankee show availability for spanking, e.g. by removing and hanging up underwear;
  • showing the results of the spanking, e.g. in corner time or leaving the buttocks bare around the household;
  • forcibly exposing the spankee against his or her will, or pantsing the spankee, in public, especially if this will show marks of the punishment or other marks, e.g. tattoos which the spankee likes hidden e.g. a slave barcode;
  • scolding the receiver, particularly by using terms that are shameful or degrading;
  • treating an adult spankee as a child in some way (see also ageplay, age regression, diaper domination);
  • requiring the spankee to perform some unpleasant or embarrassing task or action; or
  • requiring the delinquent to apologize for his or her actions, or to promise to behave better;
  • the spankee dressing and taking a role which is socially lower, e.g. a maid;
  • the spankee dressing or behaving in a way indicates additional sexual availability, e.g. much more revealing than normal or a heterosexual dressed to appear open to homosexuals;
  • any of many other methods including penitence.

For many spankees the humiliation factor is an important or essential part of the BDSM or spanking experience. Others strongly dislike any suggestion of humiliation in a spanking scene.
