Detailed Explanation

Objectification is a kink or BDSM dynamic that aims to make a person feel like an object instead of a person. This kind of play could include psychological elements like degradation, as well as physical elements like bondage. For example, the bondage practice of creating human furniture can be a form of objectification. So can taking on the role of fuckdoll or other kinds of object play. This play sees the bottom (often submissive type role) take the role of object as defined by the Top (often Dominant type role) to suit their needs. Objectification comes in many shapes and sizes. There are many different roles, but most have in common that the bottom loses control and is turned into an object for the Top's use. Objectification play also tends to overlap strongly with humiliation, obedience training, and service submission. ### Objectification Statistics - A survey of 1580 females in the kink community found that 37% had participated in objectification (giving or receiving) and 40% were turned on by it. - In the same study, the most popular roleplay scenarios were Master/slave (83%), danger scenarios (72%), and occupation roles, like boss/employee (69%). ### Why Are People Into It? People being objectified will lose themselves in the role they have been given. The reduction of function can be perceived as pleasant or calming as it takes them away from their regular life. It can also be degrading to be (consensually) "used" instead of actively having a choice or participating. For the person objectifying another person, they might enjoy the sense of power over another person's being. Taking their "will" away and controlling their being can create a sense of dominance over the other person. It can also be very gratifying to have an object do things for you. ### Examples of Objectification You will commonly see: - Sexual Objectification Fucktoy Fuckdoll Doll Drone Puppet - Fucktoy - Fuckdoll - Doll - Drone - Puppet - Human Furniture Ashtray - Ashtray - Service-Based Objectification Maid Servant - Maid - Servant
