Degradation kink: what is it? (Patreon)

In this video, I cover the following:

• What is a degradation kink?
• Reasons that people have a degradation kink.
• Moments of not being able to handle Felix’s cuteness.
• Arguments for and against a degradation kink.
• My thoughts on the arguments against a degradation kink.

The arguments for a degradation kink are as follows:

• It is not sexual abuse or misogyny.
• It can be cathartic for both the giver and the receiver.
• Like other fetishes, it can lead to deeper trust and intimacy.
• Ownership and domination are natural desires of human sexuality.
• If two people consent to it, who cares?

The arguments against a degradation kink are as follows:

• It is abusive and disrespectful.
• It is abuse cloaked as a fetish.
• An unequal power dynamic is created when one partner is owned.
• It can cause trauma for future relationships.
• It causes low self-esteem outside of the bedroom.

What do you think of these arguments for and against?
