Bondage as Humilation
» Bondage » D/s Practices
Can bondage be thought of as humiliation? Early I wrote of how the idea of being captive magnifies my sense of being property.
Depriving someone of free movement can't help but be a sort of psychic attrition, ignominy.
More so I feel is depriving someone of his or her senses or ability to communicate.
Blindfolds leave you unable to see what is happening, less able to anticipate what may be forthcoming. Uncertainty can't help but make you cringe. (Add earplugs and your world becomes only the touch of your owner.)
Being gagged, physically unable to speak, able only to make pathetic mumbling sounds seems deeply shaming.
Really the distinctions between being humbled, owned, degraded, punished are fuzzy in my own mind. Attempting to unravel them is a cross between seeing self-understanding and playing with nuances that I'm not always sure are actually present..
