A more intense form of humiliation play, always carefully negotiated and balanced with strong aftercare.
Degradation is a more intense relative of humiliation play, using stronger language or scenarios for erotic effect. Because it deals in powerful emotions, the contrast with reality matters: it is play between people who deeply respect each other, framed entirely by consent. Thorough negotiation about words and themes, plus attentive aftercare, are essential. The opposite preference, where partners enjoy praise and affirmation instead, is sometimes called degradation versus praise.
