What an interesting question. i would imagine like any other area in this wonderful world of D/s, M/s, BDSM, it entirely depends on what works for a given individual. i respond quite favorably to severe humiliation from my Master - something we both discovered together some time ago. i have slid up and down the weight scale for years, going from absolute perfect shape, to obese, back to great shape again, to somewhere in the middle. my diet must be intensely strict in order for me to stay in shape. If someone next to me is eating junk food, i swear i'll gain the weight! Having said that, i became very sensitive about my body. At the moment i am not in shape, but working to get there yet again. Master has never made me feel degraded about my body, but he wants me to bring it to a point where i am healthiest and happiest. He is guiding me in this endeavor by being encouraging yet strict. i report all intake and weigh in weekly. This topic is interesting, however, because being called, and occasionally made to behave like a pig is something he uses while humiliating me. The first time that word left his lips, i cringed and was determined to face it head on, daring him to call me that - wanting him to - until i relished in it like i relish in all other forms of humiliation he puts me through. i do not equate that word with being fat. At least not in an insulting and hurtful way. i think humiliation is only effective when it is not hurtful and/or damaging to the recipient. Master called me "chubby" once and it pained me greatly. He has never said it again (that was over a year ago) although i don't think it would bother me now, coming from him. If someone is using humiliation as a way to push a submissive to lose weight, and it is only hurtful to her, i can only see it being a counterproductive feat, and end up detrimental to both the submissive and the relationship. i belive one really needs to know his/her submissive and take great care in attempting something such as this. ~ Edited to clarify the "pig" exercise is in no way related to his guidance of my weight loss.
