Erotic humiliation, also known as humiliation kink , is the excitement that comes from the feeling of embarrassment.

Feeling pleasure from embarrassment may sound blasphemous, but sex expert Sunny Megatron explained it perfectly in an article for Elite Daily:

“The key to understanding erotic humiliation is knowing that particular actions or scenarios are not universally humiliating… For example, consider being consensual. For example you are ordered to do striptease. Some would blush with embarrassment and want to hide, while others would eagerly appear, strutting their 'stuff'."

Erotic humiliation is highly personal, meaning that what would embarrass one person may not have an effect on another. It takes extreme trust and a high level of communication not only to learn what would 'humiliate' your partner, but also to be trusted to carry out the ' order' .

What's so sexy about being humiliated?


When you ask people "why," the answers can be as similar as they are different. People are drawn to playing with power and control because of the way it builds connection and trust in their relationship.

"Erotic humiliation can help partners feel more connected to each other," says Jay.

Like many activities in the kinky world of sex and/or BDSM, the possibilities for such games are endless. And if you don't feel comfortable with any of these games, there's still nothing wrong with it.
