[B]Examples of humiliation (a good thing):

Interesting. I guess it's just a semantical difference. I would consider 1, 4, and 5 degrading, and comments 2, 3, 6, and 7 more condescending than 'humiliating'. Assuming that they were said in private.

If they were said in public (around vanilla people) I would consider 2,3,6, and 7 degrading (i.e. tending to reduce from a higher to a lower status -- adult to child)

But it's entirely possible that these words, like many others, have slightly different connotations within the community of BDSM practicioners than without. A good example is that hardly anyone in the 'vanilla' world knows what 'vanilla' means.

Thanks, TG -- oh, maybe that's not such a good nickname, is it? ;-)

Boccaccio -- who is a little humiliated - but not degraded - that he didn't already understand all this.
