Standing in corner

Standing in Corner involves the dominant ordering the submissive to face a corner as a form of discipline or humiliation. The submissive typically stands with their nose close to or touching the intersection of walls, often with specific requirements about posture, hand placement, and duration. This punishment method combines elements of isolation, physical discomfort from maintaining a static position, and the psychological impact of being placed in a childlike punishment that emphasizes the power dynamic.

About the category D/s, Power Play

Dominance and submission (D/s) and power play revolve around the consensual exchange of control between partners. This dynamic can manifest in countless ways—from bedroom-only scenarios to comprehensive lifestyle arrangements—all centered on one partner taking a controlling role while the other yields authority within negotiated boundaries.

People are drawn to power exchange for diverse reasons: the freedom found in surrender, the thrill of exercising control, the deep trust required, and the opportunity to explore aspects of themselves not expressed in everyday life. Unlike physical BDSM activities which focus on bodily sensations, D/s emphasizes psychological connection and the erotic potential of power differentials, creating experiences that many find deeply fulfilling on both emotional and sexual levels.

About the subcategory Humiliation

Erotic humiliation involves consensual activities that deliberately trigger feelings of embarrassment, exposure, or degradation. This can range from light teasing to more intense verbal or physical scenarios that challenge the recipient's sense of dignity, status, or self-image within a safe and controlled environment.

People enjoy humiliation play for complex psychological reasons—some find liberation in temporarily surrendering social status, others experience heightened arousal from the emotional vulnerability, while many appreciate the intense emotional release it provides. This form of play often creates powerful endorphin rushes and feelings of catharsis when practiced with trusted partners who understand personal boundaries and provide appropriate aftercare.
