Humiliation is not essential for my liking of a story but i personally prefer stories that do have a humiliation element.
Now my choice of story genre plays a part in this, as 'consensual' spanking say between a married couple prior to sweet lovemaking does not as they say 'float my boat'. Likewise my likings regarding stories are not necessarily others preferred choices.
Personally i like a variety of humiliation aspects, be that the public nature of the situation, eg witnessed, the verbal statements of both spanker and spankee, descriptions of the feelings of both, and the power exchange of the participants.
The author creating and setting a scene of one party having power and wielding it, whilst the other party is powerless, then for me a humiliating scene has been set even before the physical disciplinary event.
Personally for me a author who creates a scene for the reader that evokes a strong humiliation feel, then i am hooked.
Finally a well written story can for me the reader, plant seeds of a humiliating scene in my mind, through well chosen words and descriptions by the author, these can if i choose be nurtured in my own imagination, taking the story where i would like it too go, a vivid imagination is a wonderful thing. |
