Being a guy, I never have had the feeling of being objectified, so, I'm curious, what it's like, for you, who may have had that feeling in your life. To be clear, I've been used. I've been taken advantage of. But, I don't ever think anyone "objectified" me, for my body parts, to say it bluntly. Nobody seems to care what my body parts look like.

Given that I'm not the one objectified, my only experience in this spectrum is as the one objectifying, so to speak, as I enjoy a short skirt and peach-shaped buns or a low-cut blouse as much as any guy, and I certainly spank and clamp any nipples that dare to poke their way up in excitement. But this question isn't about being the objectifier - it's about being objectified. Specifically, what it feels like (in the safe sane consensual pleasurable D/s sense, of course).

To give you a bit of history, the question actually arose as a fellow dominant female contacted me, months ago, with the suggestion that I would enjoy being on the other end of the spectrum as her boy toy to play with.

I dismissed the suggestion out of hand, and now that profile is closed, but, what I am beginning to wonder is, the basic open-ended question, of what it actually FEELS like, in a consensual BDSM sense, to be the one objectified.

I've been a sex object my whole life and I can tell you it completely depends on who's objectifying you.

Actually...in much thrcsame manner as Resident Sadist...so too have been a sex object all my life. Sometimes...I...I...I just feel sooooo cheap.

But...most times, I'm good with it.

This is an interesting question. I can't recall seeing too many posts here on the forum where objectification wasn't
seen in a negative way. I think it has a lot to do with the majority of us being raised with the belief that a good partner
will appreciate all you have to offer, and not just your physical self, as though doing so would make one feel “less than”.

I don't know that he's ever actively objectified me, meaning he didn't make me stand before him and tell me “I'm going to
objectify you now, you wench” For me, it's more self objectification, in that I offer myself to him without ego or pride. It's
pretty incredibly freeing to think of myself as just a body to be used for his pleasure, without worrying whether my hair looks
good, or if my legs are smooth enough, or if my ass looks funny in whatever position I may be in.

Crap, does this mean I objectify from the bottom?

RS hit the nail on the head- it depends who is objectifying you.

Honestly- I've been overweight the whole time I've been sexual. I rarely feel objectified unless it is specifically for my weight, which I am unhappy with- so that's a pretty weird thing.

I've never had it done pleasantly. He's never ignored how I feel, and just focused on my nipples while making it clear that he doesn't give a fuck about me except for that body part.

I've only had it done without consent and that's pretty damned unpleasant. Having some stranger ogle me, grope me, catcall me.

For me, sexual objectification is more about the play and the mental state, rather than a visual type of objectification.

Sexual objectification play includes things like speech restriction - you are simply a sex toy, so you have no need to talk or communicate. I had one Dom who used to keep me silent for extremely long periods of time, several days. During this time I was still expected to follow orders and serve him and I would still be used sexually, but my thoughts, opinions and questions were all unimportant. Another aspect is that a Dom may want to use me sexually without hearing 'feedback' such as pleasure or pain noises. This may go as far as dollification - where the sub is trained to act and feel like a doll during play. This might include having no ability to move, or acting very heavy, head flopping, etc. There are many fantasies about people being turned into dolls or inanimate objects by evil witches, chemical potions, etc. Particularly for male submissives who may fantasise about waking up as a female sex doll, with exaggerated breasts, hips, lips, etc, and have the weird experience of being fucked as a female doll, but unable to move or complain or tell anyone. Some like the idea of using a sleeping submissive. I especially like being told to hold still, or shhhh during sex or pain. Lots of people into objectification like to combine dollification with latex body suits, with latex pouches in the orifices. There's an incredibly exciting objectification thread on fl where a woman becomes a human sex doll and is taken to a party and used like a sex toy.

Another big aspect for me is orgasm denial. The focus is entirely on the Dominant's pleasure, and the submissive is assumed to have no independent needs, desires or wishes of their own. Some people do denial in a teasing way, to increase the submissive's pleasure, but in objectification this is completely irrelevant - the submissive is simply a sexual object and you wouldn't tease her any more than you'd tease a blow up doll. The object also has no preferences in how they are used, so the submissive will learn to take anal, oral, etc. The Dom might give different names to the holes such as 'your new cunt' or, in the case of a male being used anally, 'your boy pussy' etc. The point is to make the submissive see the hole as just something to be fucked, like pussy, without being particularly delicate about it. Alternatively, the Dom might make the submissive refer to body parts as being something belonging to the Dom, for example I had a partner who insisted I use the expression 'Sir's clit' when talking about my own body. They might even insist on third person speech that we sometimes see being very badly done on the internet. The point is that both parties see the submissive's body as an object, owned by the Dom. Some Doms like to remove a submissive's senses during play, in order to make them more object like. For example, a Dom I played with liked his partners to wear earplugs and have black-out contact lenses as this increased their objectification and enabled him to use them more as an object rather than a person.

Obviously there is the dressing aspect. A Dom will often want their object dressed how they prefer; typical outfits are lacy underwear, fifties style dresses and skirts, heels, etc. Doms might like taking the submissive out dressed very sluttily or in a very demure outfit but with no knickers, etc. If a Domme was objectifying a man, she might well sissify him. Or not - sexual objectification varies depending on who is doing it. I've experienced everything from being a very frilly Victorian doll to being made to dress like a slut, it was very individual. Another Dom liked bathing me in cold water. The cold water was very uncomfortable, but I wasn't allowed to gasp or complain (why would an object complain about the temperature?) but once in the water, he would bathe me like a princess, soaping me, washing my hair, pouring water over my back, like he was caring for his favourite toy. It was very sensual to be both tortured and worshipped at the same time.

As for your question, how does it feel? It feels like something white-hot arousing. When I started discussing my sexual objectification kink, before I started a group for it, I realised I had been fantasising about elements of it for years, and putting it all together and finding out how it fit into BDSM was a revelation for me. As for whether you should have done it with your friend? Well if the idea is still intriguing you, then maybe give it a go :-)

Sure you have, every day with your vanilla wife -- oh, you meant sexually objectified.

Contrary to popular or to prevailing BDSM belief, it isn't only submissives who get objectified.
While it might appear that various forms of Worship entail subjectification of a Domme, the sad reality is that we become fetishized more often than not, into a fetish object.
Being regarded as little more than an assertive service-Topping fetish & kink delivery system is objectification to the MAX.
Not being viewed as a real flesh & blood woman, but as some aggressive FemDom cardboard cut-out in a perpetual state of raging PMS, is being objectified.

Not much has changed in contemporary society with females being treated like sex objects. There are still very few enlightened males from what I've gathered, who think with their big heads instead of being slaves to and ruled by their little heads, on both sides of the kneel and everywhere in between.

I agree with fiery opal on the notion that Domme are basically looked at as fetish objects rather than people which is a fork of objectification. A couple days ago I had a potential sub go so far as to arrange a meeting with to get the most minor fetish talk from me and then never showed. How did that make me feel? Royally pissed off.

And I have been sexually objectified during sex by a guy I dated. He was really into it and so I figured I would give it a try since I was usually the dominant one in my relationships. I have to say I didn't like it one bit. It felt degrading and I was completely turned of.

In terms of just being objectified as a woman, it happens daily to many of us. Simply walking down the street with my dog sometimes turns into guys screaming "nice ass!" From a moving vehicle. That also totally pisses me off.

So IMO, no sexual objectification is not something I would view as positive or ever consensually partake in.

This is how it is for me, as well. In fact, I have my own rituals that I do that help keep me in that mindset; reminders for me of being a body for his use and pleasure.

"Freeing" is a good word. Every now and then, I can actually feel myself let go of another layer of defensiveness or pride. Offering myself as parts, things, to be used is the physical side of transparency and openness.
