They can imaginatively inhabit fiction, for instance This sounds like role-play to me, but I'm not sure that is all of what you are referring to. (And I know I cut-and-pasted a bit referring to your movie-watching analogy, I just couldn't find anything quite so consise after you moved on to talking about humiliation.) You seem to be talking either about role-play or about something bordering very close on it - perhaps not as explicit as "I'll pretend........." but people taking on temporary roles nonetheless, so that anything said "in the moment" is understood as not connected to reality. If you meant something else, please elaborate...? Well you were getting warm until you said "not connected to reality." What I am talking about is connected to reality (if I'm guessing right about what you mean to say there,) in very deep ways. I have enjoyed reading everyones views on this thread and especially the discussion here between Noah and yaqeta. In my experience, humiliation is quite real and yet liberating. When master says I am a nasty little whore/slut/bitch (fill in your own term) it is the truth because at that moment I am doing nasty whore type things for/with him. But it is exhilarating because we are embracing and celebrating that part of me; it does not de-value me in the least because my base nature is a reality. Now, if he called me a frigid prude I might burst into tears of shame.....or laugh, I'm not sure which.
