Humiliated

Humiliation sub-culture interests me because I am curious about how prevalent it is within gender variance and whether it exists even in small doses more frequently than we think.

For example some fiction often uses things like petticoat punishment stories as a baseline or some other form of plot where a male is forced into an embarrassing situation and is caught without an exit strategy. This often results in achieving a titillating experience for the person.

Here we must be careful to take note that fantasy exists everywhere and people outside the sphere of gender variance experience all types of fantasies. It can be the brain's healthy way of releasing tension and is humanly universal. For example, some natal females may fantasize about being dominated by a man but wouldn't necessarily opt for that in reality.

Without embarrassing the person, the other day I happened upon the video of a person who sought pleasure in being identified as male in women's changing rooms. There was nothing creepy or ominous going on other than seemingly being pleased to the point where selected expressions by knowing female merchants were suddenly freeze-framed to emphasize that the jig was up and he was discovered. I would estimate this person to be somewhere in their fifties.

One then questions whether childhood trauma could help explain the creation of this affinity.

I have in the past featured a video where a twenty-something transgender woman ruminates on whether her origins were somehow due to childhood trauma. She wasn't able to trace it but she said it warranted considering when examining one's childhood as she wanted to cover all her bases.
