BDSM Lexicon · Humiliation & objectification

Objectification

Objectification within BDSM refers to the conscious treatment or experience of a person as an object, in a context of voluntary power play. The sub is temporarily reduced to a function, possession, or instrument, whereby their own will or identity is subordinated to the wishes of the Dominant. It is an intense form of psychological and symbolic play, in which words such as possession, furniture, toy or thing are not meant to be humiliating, but form part of a controlled and agreed dynamic.
