  Prisoners describe sexual humiliation - Global Terrorism - www.smh.com.au
Female interrogators repeatedly used sexual tactics to humiliate and prise information from devout Muslim men held at the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, military investigators and detainees say.
The women rubbed their bodies against the men, wore skimpy clothes in front of them, made sexually explicit remarks and touched them provocatively, at least eight detainees said.
While isolated accounts of such tactics have emerged in recent weeks, the new allegations and the findings of the Pentagon investigation indicate sexually oriented tactics may have been part of the fabric of Guantanamo interrogations, especially in 2003.

The distinction between humiliation and dominance in an activity such as erotic spanking is that the sought after effect is primarily the humiliation, the activity is just a means to that end.
Humiliation play is also connected to sexual fetishism, in that non-sexual activities may become sexualized by association with arousal, and also may be associated with exhibitionism in the sense of wanting others to witness (or being aroused by others witnessing) ones sexual degradation.

Sexual humiliation by older boys is graphically portrayed in numerous movies, often for humorous effect.
His sexual betrayal by Walt is twofold: his implicitly eroticized hero worship is turned into unambiguous adult sexuality, and subsequently Walt's promise of interpersonal intimacy is broken by a heedless and callous desertion.
