I dislike the term "humiliation play", it's too subjective. Humiliation is in the eye of the beholder, after all. There are some things that I expect that the sub/slave may find humiliating, but I do not consider it so for them. For example, acting as a footstool may be humiliating to some people, and in this instance I don't care because I'm not making you be my footstool to humiliate you, I just want a footstool. Some people find certain levels of control humiliating, such as needing to seek permission to use the bathroom. To me, that is protocol and enforcing manners. Or maybe I took away your privilege to do certain things of your own judgement because I do not trust your judgement on it. While i understand this can be humiliating to some people, that isn't my objective when I set out those rules, therefore I am indifferent to it as a humiliation. When I do deliberately humiliate a slave/sub, however, it's more than "oh that's funny", it's vindication, as well, and an emotional release; and while I try to only do this with due cause as punishment, sometimes I fail.
