But why?
Why do I cum when I make my slave send screenshots of him humiliating himself, making my slaves send money until their fingers feel numb. Why do they love to tell me their darkest humiliations while they touch themselves? Why do they beg me to make audios for them hypnotizing them into ATMS such as the one here. (If you are curious about the ATM fetish, you can read more about it here).
We are there both being vulnerable, open. My subs love to tell me about all those things that turns them on, like that time when a prostitute stole their money and she flip them off, or how much they came after sending transfers of 50 usd compulsively to a Fin Domme, that ended up being a sum of 2000 usd dollars in one night. My pay pigs and I experience a sense of freedom when we step into the roles society doesn't want us to embody, because there is a shame in embodying them.
The Jungian psychology: an exploration of repression and shame
So first of all I want to say that I am a Fin Domme who is not professionally qualified in any field of psychology, all these ideas are my own and It's crucial to note that while these connections can be explored theoretically, individual experiences and interpretations may vary widely, and not everyone with a fetish necessarily has a deep psychological connection to Jungian concepts.
So, having that in mind, let's continue.
Around 1912, a Swiss psychiatrist named Carl Jung started giving a series of lectures at Fordham University, New York which were published later in the year as Psychology of the Unconscious. Among his teachings, the one that I find the most fascinating is the idea known as "Jungian archetypes"
Jungian Archetypes are (in my words) "a pattern of thought present in the unconscious of all human beings" that the human psyche embodies. The positive archetypes represent aspects of the psyche that are associated with growth, wholeness, and individuation.
Positive archetypes are present in our "public" life and social interactions in order to keep social conventions that are beneficial to us. Sometimes, unresolved psychological conflicts, traumas, or societal conditioning can lead to the rise of part of ourselves we are not so proud and we repress them in the shadows of our psyche.
Where do we store the "repressed" parts and what it has to do with BDSM?
There are 12 positive archetypes. A positive archetype is a pattern of thought that represents constructive and beneficial qualities within the human psyche. For each positive archetype, there is a shadow archetype (the repressed, hidden, denied, or suppressed aspects of the self).
In the dynamics of BDSM, individuals often engage in role-playing scenarios where they adopt specific roles, such as dominant or submissive, more specifically, submissives can exhibit traits of the masochistic/victim Jungian archetype (read about masochistic traits here).
There is some sense of pleasure that exist in recreating past experiences of childhood when we embodied an identity. I have seen that some of my submissives enjoy to be transported to past experiences where they were bullied, insulted, and humiliated being that a strong experience a catalyst to a strong physical emotion, now associated with a sexual experience.
