Humiliating Torture

[saba1212]

Hello, I have another question for a story I'm writing, since I got a lot of help last time I asked.

I did a lot of researches about the title "above" such as (Humiliation torture, Humiliation in prisons, Humiliations in abduction, and similar things) but, unfortunately, I couldn't find what I exactly need

You might look into some of the learned helplessness models

Sorry for my late reply! I like the idea of punishment due to the choices the one would make.
Thanks so much for your reply :)

Sounds like an interesting situation! You might want to consider creating some conditions where he is forced to make terrible decisions and then has to face the consequences of the decisions. The idea would be that if he is usually confident and masterful at making both every day and major decisions, he would have his confidence shattered by making ANY decision because each of the decisions would have bad outcomes

Sorry for my late reply! OMG I love the ideas you came up with. I was really thinking about what you mentioned: the idea of making the decision then facing the outcomes of that decision, it looks very good to me.

Thank you veeeery much for your reply, it was more than helpful :)

I guess you could try something like a combination of no toilet facilities, and feeding him laxatives? Basically making incontinent and unable to keep himself clean might reduce him to a child-like state of helplessness, with added self-disgust, which might have the kind of effect you're after.
Sleep deprivation plus messing with his perception of reality might also work as a form of psychological torture; essentially a sort of fast-track gaslighting designed to make him doubt himself.

And now I'm trying to figure out ways of, for example, convincing someone, using something like the rubber hand illusion, that their limbs have been cut off...

Sorry for my late reply! I like the idea of self-disgust, I should think more about it.
Thanks so much for your reply :)

In the same as vien sci_fi_shipper's suggestion, removing access to things like sunlight and clocks

Sorry for my late reply! Love all the ideas you mentioned, it gave me more choices to think about.
Thanks so much for your reply :)

GLadly, and if you ever want more ideas, feel free to message me. I have a mind for torture scenes.

...swear between comments like this and my search history it's a wonder I haven't been picked up by the feds,lol.

Sensory deprivation and complete helplessness, keep him blindfolded, gagged, tied so he can't do anything for himself, and leave him until he's half crazy with thirst, then make him beg for food and water- nicely. Anything to emphasize helplessness and dehumanization, like feeding him leftovers thrown on the floor, or dog food. Random pain, that comes as no consequence to anything he does, and not at set intervals, and not from any one person he can attach hatred or anger to (so sensory deprivation helps here as well, he can't see or hear his attackers, only feel the attacks).

Depending on how much you want to damage him in the long term, or go for extreme physical stuff that can still be fixed medically later, have them break his fingers and/or injure his feet so he can't walk (lead boots, if you don't want to break really delicate bones). Knowing that he can't escape even if there was a way out, and not being able to use his hands, on top of the pain of it, can really mess with a person's head.

Sorry for my late reply! Oh I love each single idea you came up with, it really works with my character.
I want to inflect physical pain for him, but I don't want it to be the main torture he would endure, I like to focus more on the mental torture because the after effects of this will be so important in the story.
Thank you so much for your reply :)
