I remember a great dungeon I used to go to. All the subs/slaves would go into this huge dressing room and 'slut up' leaving their street clothes behind for the ride home. Vanilla people and those newbies coming into this life are often dazzled by the concept of a woman (or man) going to such lengths to be amazing for their partner. That to me is the best form of objectification.
If my partner wanted me to be his footstool, I'd do it. But for me, the best form of objectification is making myself the embodiment of his desires. Being in this lifestyle and in a good relationship with a Dominant partner takes me to great heights. My last Sir and I called it the rare air. Everything becomes naturally organic and almost effortless. You have an unwavering sense that you are where you were always supposed to be.
So it is fair to say that verbal humiliation and degradation are big No's to me. I need to feel safe with him and if he is crushing me with his words, well, that isn't safe. However, crawling to him or begging in certain situations is also natural. So it is safe to say that there is always a continuum for these things and I doubt you can be "all in" in this lifestyle and not touch on objectification and humiliation.

What a great observation! It hits the nail right on the head for me too but you said it so much more succinctly than what I could find the words for. It's a freeing feeling for me to sometimes let go of my own ego and allow myself to become nothing more than a mirror of someone elses desires/fantasies.
