Webinar Abstract

What exactly is erotic humiliation, and why do many kinky adults find it sexually arousing and emotionally freeing? Misperceptions and stereotypes, even within the kink world, contribute to the widespread assumption that this kind of play is abusive by its very nature. Even the most kink-friendly therapists are often baffled by how to separate harmful behaviors from unorthodox preferences to help clients process and explore these desires and experiences.

This workshop will unpack the psychological, emotional, and erotic desires around consensual psychological and emotional torment play by exploring its motivations, behaviors, levels of intensity, and language, as well as identifying common ways to play.

During this workshop, you will learn:

  • Motivations and cultural foundations behind the desire for exploring psychological torment from both the dominant and submissive perspective

  • Stereotypes that are commonly associated with erotic humiliation

  • The five core differences between abusive and healthy desires

  • Popular ways to play with erotic embarrassment, humiliation, and degradation
