I have an Insane Journal where much of my fic and longer pieces go since the strikeout, I just link to it from there.
And, yes, I think much mainstream stuff (including reality shows) bother me so much because they are both 'non-con' and also ... so clearly meant as social control/social programming. So many things presented as 'humilating' or embarassing are actually just things that violate norms, especially sex and gender norms (men in drag in most mainstream movies for example).
On re-read, I think some of the fun of writing the sex club story was in the *lack* of (significant) embarassment or humilation in parts of it. Ianto had internal monologue about how seeing other people do what he and Jack did silenced is internal critic for a bit. WHich I think helped frame the public sex as pleasureable exposure rather than unpleasant humiliation.
