I received wonderful and thoughtful feedback to a prior thread regarding the exploration of degradation play with my partner. However, the more I learned about people’s dynamics the more questions I had, which brings me to this new thread… For all the charming subs who enjoy being physically degraded in their dynamic, can you please explain the mindset/headspace that arouses you by performing acts of degradation? To further expand on that, where is the mental delineation between the feelings of hesitance/apprehension before doing or having something done to you, and what is the feeling of overcoming those initial emotions? I’ve had someone respond by saying they don’t feel any apprehension when it comes to activities of degradation, and that confuses me somewhat, because if those initial apprehensive feelings are not present can the activity truly be considered “degrading”?

Thanks for reading, and I’m looking forward to understanding the perspectives you share and becoming more educated with the mind space of degradation.
