Oh yes -- I was speaking of mainstream film there, and you don't see much voluntary enjoyable humiliation outside of pornography. In a sexualised setting it is different. Mind you, for me it's also situational; spanking does nothing for me, and seems so...not undignified, that's not the right word, but unnecessary. Caveat: Personal Opinion, Not My Kink, I'm not gonna judge others. I'm not kinky in the slightest, but I know a lot about it because I have friends in the lifestyle and there are certain humiliation-related kinks I do find interesting, and I understand them on an intellectual level.
Am I hallucinating, or did you write that fic where Jack takes Ianto to a sex club and they have sex in a booth in front of a TV camera? I can't find it on your journal, so perhaps I'm mixing you up with someone else, but it's a good example -- the spanking made me skim on, but the public sex I was a-ok with. Which is not necessarily humiliation, but it definitely had aspects of it.
Involuntary humiliation, especially in a mainstream film, just...rasps against me. Perhaps because I can say "fuck off, I'm right," but I still squirm on the inside -- self-esteem is very much a learned behaviour with me :D
