O espetáculo da humilhação, fissuras e limites da sexualidade

Abstract

Humiliation porn is a segment of the fetish market that includes a variety of practices that uses domination, spanking, choking and suffocation in commercial grammars of pain, fear and disgust. Articulating social markers of difference, these almost always feature women pairs who act out the dominatrix/slave relationship. This article aims to investigate how violence acts in eroticism, or, to be more precise, how pleasure and danger intersect in erotica. Through an examination of these practices, the article asks: what are the limits between the representation of the acts and the acts themselves? The notion of fissure is developed in order to answer the question.
