Curious about humiliation kink? Do you wonder why some people are into being embarrassed, shamed, and degraded? Many steer clear of humiliation because it seems so extreme and cruel. While some enjoy emotionally heavy humiliation, this kink can take on many forms, including lighthearted and playful.
In this virtual workshop, Sunny Megatron deconstructs the psychological elements of erotic humiliation with the goal of helping you figure out what flavor gets your juices flowing.
You’ll learn how to:
- Negotiate consensual humiliation in your scenes & dynamics
- Gauge intensity levels ranging from playful embarrassment to intense degradation
- Keep the focus on emotional safety
- Build humiliation scenes with positive outcomes in mind
- Prepare for unintended missteps & triggers
- Inject humor into your emotional play & more
- You’ll also receive humiliation-specific & general kink negotiation tools you can use with partners or for self-discovery
NOTE: While there will be opportunities to participate in exercises & ask questions, it’s completely optional! Whether you choose to have your camera on, prefer to join with just your voice, engage in the text chat, or remain completely incognito is entirely up to you. My goal is to create a comfortable, inclusive environment that accommodates various learning styles & allows you to participate according to your comfort level. So, feel free to join in (or not) however you feel most at ease!

100% ONLINE CONFERENCE
JOIN INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTAR – MIDORI FOR THIS ONLINE KINKY SEXCEPTIONAL WEEKEND WITH SHA IN FEBRUARY!
GET READY FOR TWO DAYS OF UNIQUE DEEP DIVES INTO THE REALITIES AND CHALLENGES OF BDSM AS PRACTICED BY PEOPLE TODAY. WE WILL EXPLORE THE EXISTING TOOLS, LANGUAGE, IDENTITY FRAMEWORK AND STRATEGIES COMMONLY USED WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
We will unpack the personal assumptions, unspoken expectations, general cultural stereotyping, and kink subcultures’ own mythologizing narratives. These biases may be held by clients as well as clinicians. For the clients, these may lead to unproductive, unfulfilling or even toxic sexual experiences or relationships. For clinicians, this course fills many gaps in therapy discourse of BDSM sexuality, where clients often go unserved.
Midori will introduce one practical framework around language of play and strategy navigation of desire as well as help you become proficient in an effective model of sex and BDSM negotiation where mutuality and collaboration is emphasized.
Midori’s presentation will be frank and we are encouraging everyone’s first person perspective discussions. Expect break out discussions, role playing conversations, lectures and Q&A.
Over these two days, you will dive into:
-
What BDSM practitioners are seeking and the challenges that they experience
-
Practical, judgement-free framework and language of BDSM
-
Improving cultural proficiency of North American BDSM
-
Understanding how clients may use Midori’s “BDSM Appetite Grid” for better play and pleasure
-
Learning Midori’s method of collaborative and co-creative BDSM negotiation
-
Considering constructive versus destructive erotic humiliation play
-
Gaining working knowledge of a model to conceptualize and discuss humiliation play
-
Frank and illuminating discussion with a subject matter expert educator with decades of lived experience
