Guest Post - 12/5/17 - Submission, Secrets & the Soldier by Kryssie Fortune #Suspense #BDSM

Today the talented Kryssie Fortune is on our guest couch with an excerpt from her Erotic Suspense novel, "Submission, Secrets & the Soldier."

Sharing an apartment with the man she loves is hard. Moving out is harder.

Excerpt:

Katherine parked outside the auto shop, lugged her suitcase from the trunk, and unlocked the door. The stairs were steep and seemingly endless. Once she’d manhandled her bag to the top, she leaned against the wall, panting and wishing she’d snatched something to eat earlier.

A noise from the back of the apartment had her spinning around. “Who’s there?”

Luke Roberts sauntered from the bathroom, fresh from the shower. He’d slicked back his hair, and a towel looped loosely around his waist. “Kathryn Johnson? What are you doing here? You still craving that spanking, maybe?”

She couldn’t take her eyes off his damp chest. And damn, that drop of water running down his pecs enthralled her. Even the red scars mottling the left side of his body seemed sexy, but she’d never seen anyone with so many. His legs were bare too, but the towel couldn’t hide his erection. Then he went and mentioned a spanking. Yes, please.

Her eyes glazed as she pictured herself naked, draped over his lap with her hands on the floor and her ass in the air. She imagined the sting of the first slap, and the way it would echo as his palm struck her bare flesh. Thoughts of him turning her ass red whetted her sensual appetite. God, after the confrontation with her mom, she really needed that spanking to settle her nerves.

She’d never known a few simple words and a sexy grin could make her pussy damp and turn her nipples into hard peaks. Her worries evaporated into a lust-fueled haze, but as she blinked back to normal, she stared at the naked man in her apartment. Her common sense told her to pull back, but she wanted to tug the towel from his waist, drop to her knees, and suck his cock. Even stopping herself from reaching out and stroking his massive chest took effort.

She felt her cheeks heat and knew she’d blushed. “That spanking? Oh! Not here, not now. Only… Damn it, I didn’t come to discuss my needs, but… No. What are you doing here?”

Her gaze dropped. The scars on his face paled to the wounds covering his left leg and the left side of his chest. Red and deep, they pitted every inch of flesh. Tiny patches of shiny skin, badly healed burns, shone between the scars.

Much as his injuries roused her sympathy, they added another layer to the sexy Dom teasing her about a spanking. His mental toughness must be amazing to have survived such severe injuries. No wonder he had flashbacks.

Kathryn yearned to reach out and run her hand down his scars and tell him they didn’t matter—but they clearly did to him. Unsure how to reassure him, she said nothing. Besides, her brain couldn’t move past that spanking he promised her. Maybe afterward, he’d take her to bed. Good grief, screwing a stranger? What am I thinking?

Blurb:

Luke Roberts, a former army mechanic, has a new sub. She's shy and inexperienced, but willing. As he teaches her about sensation play, she fears he'll really hurt her and screams her safewords at him. Her reaction causes Luke to have a flashback. Although he's clawing his way back to normal, he suffers from PTSD. Determined to get well, he contacts a PTSD specialist in Westhorpe Ridge.

Kathryn Johnson has visited a BDSM club three times. When she hooks up with Luke Roberts, he unintentionally terrifies her. She swears off spankings and goes home to Westhorpe Ridge. The last person she expects to see there is Luke Roberts.

Circumstances force them to share an apartment. Can Luke protect her when danger threatens? Or is she just a temporary sub in residence?

About the Author:

Kryssie is never seen without her kindle. She reads everything and anything she can get her hands on. When she discovered hot, sexy reads, she felt like she’d found her home. The only books she hates are the ones that end with a cliff hanger or have unhappy endings.

Kryssie tries to set her stories in places she’s explored. Hopefully, it adds color to her writing. Anything can spark a story idea. Sometimes she takes liberties though. The North Yorkshire town of Whitby is one of her favorite places. To keep the details of her imaginary town, Westhorpe Ridge consistent, she mentally shunted Whitby over the Atlantic and renamed it Westhorpe Ridge.

When not writing, Kryssie loves to walk on the beach of home town, Bridlington, or potter in her garden. Popping down to London to see her family is her favorite thing to do.

Kryssie currently has thirteen books on general release along with a boxed e-book of the first three Westhorpe Ridge stories. All her stories are M/ F or M/M/F. All are edited by publishing houses in either the UK or the USA. While her stories sizzle with sex, plot comes before bed. Life’s always an adventure going on in Kryssie’s world.

Frisky Friday - Limit Negotiations in BDSM Fiction

I'm going to crawl out on a limb, here.  I recently read a couple of M/F BDSM stories where the dominant blatantly disregarded the submissive's set of limits.  By blatant I mean he ripped them up in front of her.  Okay, yes, it's fiction, and I understand the reasons in both cases, but it still bothered me.  Why?  Because the hero was basically saying "I know you better than you know yourself, so we'll play by my rules, not yours.  Take it or leave it.  No negotiation."

Problem was they'd just met that day.  A bit presumptuous, don't you think?

I do realize having a dominant take total control is a fantasy come true for some readers.  In erotic fiction, we want the hero, or Dom, to intuitively sense his lady's deepest desires and know without a doubt what it is she needs and desires, even if she doesn't.  The notion that someone has the ability to fathom our secret fantasies and bring them to fruition is sexy.  But shouldn't he at least know her name, first?  Okay, I exaggerate, but my point is that reality is different from fiction.  And a fantasy on the page could be a nightmare in real life.

Take-charge heroes get my juices flowing, and I enjoy reading stories with them.  However, I also want said hero to value the woman along with her limits.  Because respect is an important issue for me, I'm not a fan of stories where the hero or dominant enjoys humiliating the heroine or submissive, even if she seeks the treatment.  Nor do I especially like stories where the man believes his pleasure is more important than hers.  And a side dish often served with that premise is discomfort.  Yes, pleasure can be received through pain and discomfort, but soreness and irritation can diminish pleasure as well.  So, where do you draw the line?

In her article on the subject, Lisabet Sarai says, "A sub experiences satisfaction and pleasure in surrendering to a master or mistress. Part of the excitement derives from uncertainty. The ideal is that the dominant should do whatever he or she pleases, subject only to the submissive's hard limits and governed by the safe word."  She goes on to say (and I'm paraphrasing) that a checklist tends to dull the thrill of play.

I understand and agree.  The act of total surrender, for some submissives, can offer the ultimate in satisfaction along with a sense of pride.  But that isn't true for all.  Nor should it be.  For some, the pride and satisfaction comes from pleasing the other person, which does not always involve surrendering.

In one story I read, the submissive had been wearing a large butt plug for most of the day and it had grown uncomfortable, so she asked for permission to remove it.  When the dominant asked her why, and she told him, his response was, "Ah. So your comfort is the most important thing?"  A part of me was thinking, "Yes, and it should be for you, too.  Shouldn't it?"  But he was a dominant, and he expected her to want to please him above all else, including her own comfort.  So, she closed her mouth and did what he wanted, even though she received no pleasure from it.  Then again, neither did I.

So, here I am, just like the kitty pictured above, out on a limb.  Only, I suspect I'm alone.  This article is my personal opinion and I do not intend to stand it as a flagpole to measure others against, but if the goal is mutual enjoyment, why should one person demand another's discomfort when there's no pleasure received in return?  That particular Dom admitted to being turned on by the idea of the sub continuing to wear the plug he'd inserted into her, simply because he'd wanted it there, but awareness and soreness are two different things to me.  So, the thought of him enjoying her discomfort made me squirm, and not in a good way.

In my mind, pleasure should be mutual, rules should be clear, and limits understood and accepted, which brings me back to my original topic.  Limits and negotiations.  What are your thoughts?  Do you prefer a fictional Dom to respect or ignore his submissive's limitations?  Do you like Doms or heroes who enjoy watching their women squirm with discomfort because they wished it?  I've given you my opinion, now I'd like to hear yours if you're willing to share.

Below are some articles on the necessity of limit negotiations in real life:

Saturday Spankings - February 9 - A Dom's Dilemma #SatSpanks

For the Heartbreaker Blog Hop, please click HERE, or scroll down.

She needed his protection, except he insisted on her honest submission first.

Reading this material at Work could get you spanked.

Welcome to the Saturday Spankings blog hop.  My stories are all M/f with the dominant male determined to protect the woman he cares for and loves, or grows to love, by doing whatever it takes to ensure her safety and continued health.  This includes administering a spanking when she needs one.  

My submission for this week is from my first BDSM novel, A Dom's Dilemma, published by Blushing Books.

 In honor of the Love Spanks Blog Hop, Saturday Spankings isn't counting words or sentences this week, so this excerpt is much longer than usual.  

In this scene, Jim, a former Texan who by day works as a police detective and by night lives and plays as a Dom, is in the Velvet Chains BDSM medical station attempting to give his new submissive, Kelly Franklin, an anal exam.  As a submissive, Kelly leaves much to be desired. So when she openly defies Jim, he needs to put a quick end to her shenanigans.  However, Jim suspects fear, rather than brattiness, is responsible for Kelly's reactions, so he opts to give her one last chance to settle down and obey him.  Unfortunately, Kelly has very good reasons why she's refusing to submit, but they aren't anything she's willing to share with her new Dom. 

* * * * *

            "You ever had anal sex, Kelly girl?"

            Her eyes opened wide and she looked so scared he suspected he'd just hit upon another area they'd need to work on.  "No, Sir," she answered, surprising him.

            "Hmm.  You've got an awful lot of fear in you for somethin' you've never done.  Wanna revise your answer?"

            She considered it for a moment, then quietly said, "No, Sir."

            "You don't wanna be lyin' to me, sugar.  Lyin' is somethin' I have little tolerance for, and hand out very harsh punishments when I discover the truth.  Understand?"

            "Yes, Sir."  Her reply came with a quivering lip.  Not wanting to start her crying again, he backed down, though he knew something wasn't right.  Fear that strong was not normal for an act a person hadn't experienced.

            "Very well," he replied, letting her off the hook, but suspecting his new little sub had just earned herself a painful trip over his knees.  "In any case," he added, regarding her with an arched eyebrow.  "I happen to like doin' it….  A lot.  That means, this next exercise is meant to help prepare you so you'll eventually be able to take me back there without discomfort.  Now, don't gape at me like I'm fixin' to rape you, girl.  This examination won't hurt, but it may feel a little full and uncomfortable at first, so I'm gonna give you instructions you need to obey without hesitation.  All right?"

            She gave her head a vehement shake, which should have earned her a sharp reprimand.  Instead, he gazed at her steadily.  "Kelly girl, don't make me get firm with you, now.  You're doin' so well, I'd hate to have to punish you for bein' difficult, but I will, if you force my hand."

            Though her eyes opened even wider, she didn't respond.  He would have liked a verbal acknowledgement from her, but let it pass.  "Now, I need you to press down as if you're havin' a BM."

            When she shook her head again, he scowled at her.  "Kellly…."

            "No!" she snapped back, actually shouting this time.

            Jim considered her carefully for a moment.  He knew she was anxious, but he also knew he had no intention of hurting her.  Unfortunately, her fear had her openly defying him.  He wanted to be patient and reassure her, except her attitude made that difficult, if not impossible.  Taking a deep breath, he decided to give her one more chance.

            "Darlin', that word is not in your vocabulary tonight, and you're bein' stubborn.  Now, press down toward me."  She shook her head again, so he extended one hand and depressed her abdomen in preparation to push inside her and she screamed.  He hadn't even touched her, and she screamed like he'd ripped her apart.  Not a normal reaction by half.

            "Kelly!  You quiet down this instant, young lady, or I'll turn you over my knee and give you the sound paddlin' you're beggin' for."

            When she screamed again, Jim knew from experience no number of soft words or coaxing would calm her.  She was too panicked to listen to him anymore.  So, he removed his gloves, tossed them away, and glanced at George.  "Mark this as 'in use'.  We'll be back once we've had a talk about obedience."

            George smiled and nodded.  This wasn't the first time a sub had gone ballistic on them, but Kelly was in full struggle mode now.  So, when George unbuckled the restraints on her feet he kept a firm hold on them while Jim unfastened the restraint under her breasts, then her wrists, making sure to capture both in one hand in case Kelly tried to wriggle free.  After checking with George she was clear, Jim undid the strap at her hips, let go of one wrist, flipped her over on her stomach, captured the hand he'd released and clicked the metal fasteners on her Velcro wristbands so they locked together.

            She hadn't stopped screaming, and now she kicked and bucked like a filly resisting saddle breaking.  He'd done his share of training horses, but his way of dealing with a recalcitrant sub was quite a bit different from his methods of gentling a mare.

            "Looks like I may need to trot this filly back to the chainin' station, George, and take a crop to her hide until she settles down."

            Kelly froze at those words.  At least she was listening now.  She breathed heavily, but outside of a slight shiver, she held quiet and still beneath the fingers he kept wrapped about her wrists.

            Bending low, he whispered, "You'd best stop your shenanigans and start doin' what I say, or you're gonna be one unhappy little girl." 

            "I don't want this!" she insisted.

            "Now, I didn't ask you what you wanted, did I?  Wanna know why?  Because your job, subbie, is to obey me.  If you don't, you're gonna get punished, and that's a simple fact."

            When she wailed at that pronouncement, he placed his left hand between her shoulders and brought his right palm down sharply on her butt, and growled. "Enough!  You've already earned yourself one paddlin'.  Don't make me add swats for willful disobedience and disruption."

            "I don't care who hears me!" she screamed, struggling again for all she was worth.  "Let me go, you asshole!"

* * * * *

Hmm.  Problem is if you give Kelly a shovel, she'll dig her own grave, then hand it back as a paddle.

Six Sentence Sunday - October 14 - A Dom's Dilemma #SixSunday

This material is Not Safe For Work. If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Welcome to my 6SS where I hope to provide you with tiny little tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in my books. Just 6 sentences, that I intend to build from my Horny Hump Day 3 sentence feature. The books might be already published, works-in-progress, or even sentences from other sexy books I think you’ll like.  Of course, I will properly attribute all works, even mine.

My post for this Sunday is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, an erotic BDSM/spanking novel released on October 6 by Blushing Books.  Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, appear as secondary characters in my third novel, Arrested by Love.

This week's excerpt is a continuation of the October 7, Six Sentence Sunday.  In this scene, Jim is making love to Kelly for the first time and has positioned her on the bed like his own personal smorgasbord. Though a little nervous, Kelly has been wanting Jim for a few days, and is eager to have him.  Despite his desire to spend time pleasurably torturing his feisty little sub, he also has an agenda, so he decides to make this one a "quickie."    Unfortunately, that means he gets something he never expected...

* * * * *

                Arching up, Kelly suddenly gripped his hair.  They were both too far into things for him to scold, but what neither of them expected was the moment she cried out, she literally flooded his face and mouth with her climax.  The lady ejaculated more than he did.

    He stayed with her until she calmed, and her hands dropped to her sides, then he inched back.

                "Well, that was a bit unexpected," he murmured, licking his lips, relieved he did like her taste, since he'd pretty much gotten a mouth full of it.

                She lifted her head, then saw what she'd done.  "Oh, my God, I'm so sorry!" she said, leaping off the bed to fetch him a towel, which she next used to wipe down his face until he took the terrycloth out of her grasp and finished the job himself.

                "Jim?" she asked tremulously as he placed his lips against her nether ones.

                "No torture today, darlin'.  You may come when you're ready," he answered, positive he knew what her shaky query meant.

                "Thank you, Sir," Kelly replied on a sigh, and he smiled as he coaxed her toward a powerful orgasm, enjoying the sweet, salty taste which was uniquely her.  He could feel her whole body tightening as if she was about to explode, so he lightly nipped her clit to bring her over.

Six Sentence Sunday

Frisky Friday - A sneak peak into "A Dom's Dilemma" #BDSM

A Dom's Dilemma is due to be released today, October 5, and I'm really excited.  So, excited I thought I'd share a little of why I wrote this book, why I think my readers will like it, and offer a brief excerpt as a teaser for my visitors.

As supporting characters in Arrested by Love, my spanking romance, Kelly and Jim originally played a much larger role than appears in the published version.  Their story received an equal amount of airtime, or word count, as ABL's main characters, Kyle and Tiffany.  However, as I fleshed out Kelly and Jim's background, their story grew even larger until they started to take over the book that was never meant to be theirs.  In fact, the whole of A Dom's Dilemma occurs during six days of the six months unfolding in Arrested by Love, so there's even more of Kelly and Jim's story to tell, if readers want to hear it.

When Arrested by Love grew to be over 200,000 words, I knew something would have to go.  So, the majority of Kelly and Jim's story ended up in my cut scenes folder.  The only scenes I kept were the ones that directly involved either Kyle or Tiffany.

So, why do I think readers who enjoy BDSM stories will be interested in this particular book?  Because, A Dom's Dilemma could also be titled "The Reluctant Submissive."

Kelly has been in the lifestyle for nearly eight years, primarily because she sought the security and structure a dominant male could offer her.  However, after experiencing abuse from a Dom she thought she loved, Kelly developed a fear of fully submitting to another's control.  She says the words, and displays the proper image of a submissive, but she's terrified of being hurt again.  As a result, she tries to limit her submission by assuming control whenever she can get away with it.  Jim is unaware of Kelly's penchant for "topping from the bottom" when he agrees to top her.  He mistakenly believes she is seeking domination, and needs to feel the pain a Dom provides to be sexually fulfilled.  However, after a few minutes of working with her, Jim realizes Kelly fears pain, rather than desires it, so he alters his methods; unaware Kelly is keeping some serious secrets from her new Dom.

So, now that I've revealed why I wrote the story and why I hope readers will enjoy it, I will share a small excerpt with you.  This section occurs at the end of Chapter Three.  Jim has just finished putting Kelly though some obedience tests, to determine her responsiveness, when he finally lets her climax.  As she floats on a cloud of endorphins, Jim provides aftercare, knowing what he intends for her next will prove to be an even more difficult challenge for her.

             Once Jim had wrapped Kelly in a soft, pink, velour blanket, he carried her over to an unoccupied couch in one of the many resting stations, and stretched her out.  Aware just how rough he'd been, he wanted to ensure her extremities didn't cramp on her.  So, he began a slow, thorough massage, starting with her tiny feet, and following up those incredibly long legs and torso, all the way to her slender wrists.

            She moaned softly as he worked her muscles, but didn't come to full consciousness.  She wasn't insensible, merely flying high on endorphins.

            Jim knew from experience that after he'd examined Kelly and taken her through the bowel cleansing process he intended to administer, she would be far too drained for sex.  But his cock was so hard now, he doubted he'd be able to go the entire night without claiming her.  She'd probably be more than willing, submissive little thing that she was, but he didn't want to take unfair advantage of her.  If she wasn't too sore, maybe they could appease their appetites in other ways.  He'd have to see.  And it was his decision to make, not hers.

            In any case, he meant to keep her as long as she'd stay with him.  He planned to show and teach her things she never dreamed of before, while making sure she found all the pleasure and satisfaction he sought to provide.

            When he'd finished the massage, Jim picked Kelly up to cradle her on his lap.  While gently rocking her, he murmured inconsequential nothings into her ear until she fell asleep.

            As he watched her rest, he noticed a small furrow appear between her eyebrows the moment he stopped talking.  Testing a theory, he talked about how he enjoyed galloping on a horse through wide-open plains and her forehead smoothed out again.  She was listening to him, and wanted to hear him talk.  So, he obliged her with more inane chatter about clouds, swimming naked in rivers, and spying on girls swimming naked in the same rivers.  Seeing a soft smile curve her lips, he marveled again at how trusting she was of him to care for her when she was most vulnerable.

            Such trust was a rare gift, not often offered on the first day of a relationship.  At least not in his experience.  And knowing Kelly was unconditionally offering him hers filled Jim with a strong need to shelter and protect her.  Although his desire to keep her safe didn't alter his plans for the evening, it did make him hope he could get her through these next few hours without scaring or upsetting her too badly.

            After about a half-hour she blinked her eyes open and gazed up at him.  "Welcome back, sleepy head," he murmured with a smile.

            She blinked again then turned her face into his chest and stifled a yawn before gazing up at him with an apologetic expression.  "Did I really fall asleep on you?  I'm sorry."

            He shook his head.  "Don't be, darlin'.  I wanted you to rest, so I just kept talkin', figuirin' that would knock you out quicker than a shot of whiskey.

            She smiled, then frowned.  "Why did you want me to sleep?"

            "I am very pleased with you, Kelly, and decided you deserved a rest after what I put you through.  Besides that, you're a pretty little armful, and I like holdin' you."

            Her smile turned soft and sexy.  "Are those the only reasons I'm sitting on your lap now, Sir?"

            "No, darlin', but they're the best ones."

            "And what other purpose might you have for cuddling with a sub, Sir?"

            He chuckled and lightly pinched her chin.  "You are a curious little subbie, aren't you?"  At her smiling nod, he relented.  "Well, I'm not in the habit of explainin' myself, but you've been so good, I'll make an exception this time."  She gazed up at him with a guileless expression.  "Next, we're gonna be doin' some things which might be a bit difficult for you.  So, I wanted you rested beforehand."

            Her smile dimmed and her bright blue eyes took on a wary look, but she didn't attempt to pull away or even sit up on his lap.  "What sort of things, Sir?"

Kelly is definitely in for a rough night, but Jim knows what he's doing, so she'll eventually make it through, albeit a little worse for wear.

This material is Not Safe For Work. If you’re not over 18, please explore elsewhere.

Welcome to my 6SS where I hope to provide you with tiny little tidbits of the most sexy and sensuous moments in my books. Just 6 sentences, that I intend to build from my Horny Hump Day 3 sentence feature. The books might be already published, works-in-progress, or even sentences from other sexy books I think you’ll like.  Of course, I will properly attribute all works, even mine.

My post for this Sunday is from my 4th book, A Dom's Dilemma, an erotic BDSM/spanking novel to be published soon by Blushing Books.  Kelly and Jim, the two main characters, were secondary characters in Arrested by Love.  Though this story stands on its own, if you read Arrested by Love, you'll most likely recognize some of the scenes, although hopefully with a new insight, since they are given from a different character's point of view.

For its preview on Six Sentence Sunday, I decided to share the scene in A Dom's Dilemma where Jim is making love to Kelly for the first time and has positioned her on the bed like his own personal smorgasbord.  Kelly has been wanting Jim for a few days, and is eager to have him, but Jim still wants things done his way, so he's being insistent she do exactly as he says....  Typical Dom.

                Grabbing her legs, he positioned her feet on the edge of the bed.  She tried to scoot her butt back, but he shook his head and pulled her closer toward him.  "No, stay like this.  First things first, I want to take a little taste of my treat before I sink into it."
                Then directing her to lie back and relax, he lowered his mouth to the shiny pink morsel that beckoned for his lips and teeth and caught the hint of a familiar woodsy fragrance.  He preferred strawberries, but the slight scent of pine still brought a smile to his face.

Why does the scent of pine still bring a smile to Jim's face?  It's proof positive Kelly stole his soap and shampoo because it reminded her of him, and she liked to be enveloped in his scent.

When A Dom's Dilemma is released for sale, I'll post more information about where it can be purchased and provide a 3 chapter preview on my web site.  So, keep watching.

My post for this Sunday is from my 3rd book, Arrested by Love. An erotic spanking novel published by Blushing Books.

In this scene, Kyle is slowly making love to Tiffany, except she wants him to go harder, faster and deeper.  But Kyle, still worried about Tiffany's fragile state of health, insists upon doing things his way.  Finally, in desperation, Tiffany grabs his butt to press him even deeper into her, but rather than give in, Kyle lets her know who rules the roost.   Can't say she hasn't been warned.

* * * * *

                "Tiffany, what happens when you don't obey your husband?"

                "I get spanked."

                "That's right--so, calm down and let me set the pace.   Don't fight me.  I won't warn you again."

                She groaned.  "I'm not made of porcelain, Kyle."

Six Sentence Sunday

Frisky Friday - BDSM - Humiliation and the purpose it can serve

Let me start out by saying I don't enjoy humiliation personally, but then I'm not one who easily gives up control.  There is also a fine distinction between humiliation and degradation, which I sometimes have difficulty differentiating.  One blogger put it this way.  "Humiliation is about humility--the absence of pride, being in a place where there is no ego or pretension...Only who and what you really are. Humility is about accepting and just...Being."  She separates it from degradation by the following definition, "Degradation is about tearing someone down and making them less than what they are."

I can definitely recognize and understand the difference, even though I have never experienced what she calls positive humiliation.  That borders on being an oxymoron to me.  However, she goes on to say, "Positive humiliation is about being seen at your absolute lowest, and respected the more for it. It's about what happens after the tears, facing the fears, and crawling out the other side."

In her case, she found the humiliation her Dom put her though cathartic.  Not the act, so much, as "the unbreakable intimacy that is forged when she is forced to confront her Dom's unwavering acceptance."  Another blogger called it a "shamegasm."  She wrote, "Religion is born in those moments, when I feel my dirtiest, my most worthless, my least admirable or loveable, and I look up to see him smiling at me. When I want to turn my back on him, so that I can prove to myself that he rejected me after I did the shameful thing, and he draws me closer and doesn't let go. It's in those moments that I receive the benediction of his love and his acceptance, and I feel like I could worship him.

"It's the moments where I feel the marks, the hurts, the injuries to my body, and I feel the sting of humiliation for having enjoyed them, and I want to push him away for opening up that part of me. When I want to beg him to forget it had happened, when I want to hide myself away from him so that I'll never have to confront within myself what I had enjoyed. And in those moments he strokes my hair and promises, again, that I never have cause to feel embarrassed in front of him." 

I can actually understand that.  In fact, I wrote a scene where my Dom insisted his sub do something she found extremely embarrassing, and he did it to prove to her how nothing she did disgusted him.  Afterwards, he murmured how beautiful she was and how he adored her, then giving her small reassuring kisses he told her that he was proud of her for trusting him enough to give him all her shame and embarrassment so he could clean it away for her.  She cried in his arms until his tender reassurances calmed and centered her again and she fell asleep.

In my opinion, the scene I wrote is similar to the experience both these bloggers had.  They recognize the difference between positive and negative humiliation.  And even though I wrote a scene that portrayed positive humiliation, like many others, I apply a negative connotation to the word itself.  And in the wrong hands, humiliation can be an extremely negative experience.  I'm a private person in regards to sexual matters, so being put on display in that regard, for any reason, would be a humiliation for me.  Others, however, view their experience, in hindsight, as something beautiful that happens when all the boundaries between two individuals are lowered, allowing them to grow closer than they ever believed possible. It is afterwards, during the softly spoken words of adoration that they feel transported to a higher plane.

 These two bloggers had very private experiences with their Doms.  No one else stood witness to their activities, nor did they go into detail about what they did.  However, some submissives find satisfaction in being forced to do embarrassing things publicly.  They enjoy being humiliated against their will.  But their will in this case is moot, since if they truly objected they could withdraw their consent and stop the scene.

So, humiliation in BDSM can serve more than one purpose.  It can elevate the soul, titillate the senses, and cause great embarrassment during a punishment scene.  Its purpose is dependent on why and how the Dom humiliates his submissive, and how he chooses to treat her afterwards.
