Erotic humiliation - Means of humiliation

Sexual humiliation is very open ended. Broadly it can be divided into verbal, and physical aspects. Verbal aspects might include:

• Verbal belittlement, such as "slave", "boy", "girl", "missy", "pet"
• Insults and verbal abuse, such as "fat", "ugly", "stupid", "worthless"
• Degrading references such as "slut", "tart", "bitch", faggot" and "whore"
• Slating of body parts or behaviors, such as disparaging or cruel references to breasts, facial appearance, genitalia or genital size, bottom, and slighting of mannerisms such as walking, responsiveness, standard of self-care.
• Having to ask permission for everyday activities such as toilet, or eating or spending money.
• Small penis humiliation, where scorn is addressed towards the supposed inadequacy of the male's genitals or his inability to please a man or woman (and by implication his essential worthlessness as a man)
• Forced repetition, such as being obliged to repeat back commands to confirm them.
• Mockery and ridicule

Physical and tangible aspects might include:

• Ejaculating or urinating on the bottom's body or, especially, the face
• Performance of menial tasks
• Detailed accountability and control (micro-management) as to time spent or activities done, including list of jobs to do, precise directions as to how the houswork is to be performed, exactly how to act and behave, and so on.
• Specific rituals and affectations to be adopted. This includes displays of subservience, such as lighting cigarettes, walking a pace behind the dominant, only speaking when spoken to, kneeling or eating after others, low status place to sleep, etc
• Roleplaying "lower status" beings such as animals or babies (see human animal roleplay and adult baby play)
• Spanking, restraint or other BDSM activities
• Prohibitions or restrictions on clothing, or (for men) feminizing, cross dressing and/or sissification
• Use of chastity belts or other means of erotic sexual denial
• Wearing of external signs of "ownership" such as a collar.
• Having friends, family or strangers aware of or witnessing one's treatment (ie public humiliation).
• Erotic objectification, where the bottom is cast in the role of an object.
• Embarrassment

Some sexual humiliation involves inflicting pain but much of it is far more concerned with ridicule, mocking, degradation and embarrassment.

Sexual roleplaying may or may not involve humiliation. For example, one person might play the part of a dog because they enjoy being mock-forced into it and the top will emphasize the lowness of the bottom's status as an animal, where another person might instead play the role of the dog without any element of humiliation, as an expression of their inner animal or playful spirit.
