Firstly: Ivy, you’re an absolute delight and I really enjoy your blog! Secondly, could I ask about how you got into humiliation play? It’s something I always thought would turn me off but after one or two small instances of it I’ve been getting more interested. Is it something you always thought was hot or is it an acquired taste? Do you have any specific limits around it? Do you and your partners address any humiliation in the scene in your aftercare? I hope that’s not too many questions!

Thank you so much! I’m not sure when I started liking humiliation play, but I think I may have read a few things on the Internet that sparked my interest and then I sort of started inserting myself into fantasies that involved it. I also always thought it would turn me off, and often when I had those fantasies, I’d feel kind of gross afterwords. So, no, it was very much not a thing I always found hot. In fact, even slight hints of it in play with other people (like pre-Sir and a little bit in the earlier stuff with Sir) and I would safeword right out.

But, lately, I’ve been really into it? I don’t know what it is. It started on New Year’s with Sir where it wasn’t so much humiliation as exhibitionism. And now I’m starting to explore what I like and don’t like about it.

As far as limits, yeah. There’s certain stuff I can’t get told or I just get really upset. Or, certain things I can’t be made to say. So I let partners know this ahead of time, or put a hold on what’s going on if it happens during a scene and I didn’t realize it would upset me initially.

When it comes to aftercare, yeah. I need some of the humiliation “undone” sometimes, in terms of discussing my level of “personhood.” I need to be reminded I’m respected sometimes (haha).
