Essay Humiliation VS Objectification





embarrassment: Considered the emotional equivalent of bad pain. Humiliation beyond the recipient’s limits; may cause long-term negative aftereffects.


humiliation; humiliation play: Although the two terms are somewhat synonymous, “humiliation” is considered good pain in BDSM circles, while “embarrassment” is bad pain. Humiliation can come about in a variety of ways, from gentle teasing to objectification. Like pain, humiliation is desired by many submissive personalities, as well as being pleasurable or entertaining to many Dominants. It can also be a tool for pushing limits, or even (carefully) punishment. Humiliation can be psychologically very intense, and should be explored gradually.

objectification: The subject is dehumanized; treated as an animal, slave, furniture, toy, etc.\\


dollification: the process of evolving, mentally and physically, into a "living doll." Individuals 
who desire this process-as well as those who are in the midst of the process or have already achieved an end result-may be described as "dolls," and most desire as well to be owned. The 
parties involved in dollification are referred to as "Owner"and "doll"; this is comparable to a Master/slave or Dom/sub relationship.
Mental traits of a doll include but are not limited to: enjoyment of objectification and natural subservience, the underlying will to be transformed through one's own and/or outside forces into a living doll, ultimately, the capacity to feel/see oneself in a dollific manner, which the doll will continuously strive to achieve and/or improve.
While not all who possess these innate qualities will embrace them, it will not change that it is part of who they are by nature.
Physical traits of a doll-in process or complete-include but are not limited to: corsets, stiletto heels, thigh highs/stockings, rubber/vinyl/plastic suits, dresses, skirts, makeup, etc. along with all other body modifications. Long hair to a shaved head, A-cup to DD (and larger), any height, clothed or not, still to feisty-the physical traits are all relative to each individual doll and its own fit into and relationship with dollification.
Ultimately the ideal physical aspect of the doll is set forth by the doll itself, an Owner, or a combination of both.
Note: It is important to realize that there is no intention here to degrade or diminish the doll-particularly, as it may appear to some, in comparison with the Owner. This is a symbiotic 
relationship: Yin and Yang. Those who are familiar with M/s or D/s relationships are aware of the innate equality of such relationships, paradoxical though it may seem. -@Vanille



These definitions are found in the glossary section of the BDSM Glossary Group


Personally I find these answers to be a bit off with more overlap than necessary.  

Humiliation is anything one (or more) person(s) does in an effort to evoke a feeling of shame in another person. 

This can include: name-calling, telling forcing the person to do or say things they find distasteful or unpleasant, objectification, making the person the butt of a joke, pointing out their flaws (real or not), laughing at them, doing things to the person such as urinating on them or writing on them. 

The list all depends on what that specific person finds shameful or embarrassing. Generally this type of thing is done for the amusement or sexual gratification of one or both parties involved. 


Objectification is to dehumanize a person, to role play that the person is not in fact a person, but is an object of some sort. 

This can be done for several reasons, one of which is humiliation. Others include allowing the person to feel useful while removing the burdens of everyday life from them, punishment, for the enjoyment of the person using the object, for decorative purposes, for artistic photographs, for the sexual gratification of one or both parties. 

An objectified person can pretend to be/be used as furniture, art, a sex object, a doll (Dollification), an animal (puppy/etc play), a lamp, a footstool, or any number of various objects.
