Question: Which general fetish category does “revenge porn” belong to?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this question about what might be a fetish I found in some erotic stories I had perused.

Quite a number of the erotic stories I read narrated that a video of the sex scenes were being filmed – very often with the participants’ knowledge. At the end of, or sometimes during the story, any of the following could happen:

1. The people involved in the sex scene were threatened with the prospect of their videos being released to the public/internet if they did something (e.g.: squeal to the police or refuse to comply with certain duties/actions).
2. The people who were involved in the sex scene received a copy of their own sex scene, where it is said they might masturbate to it in their own free time.
3. Most notable, **revenge porn**: The people who were involved in the sex scene later realized their videos were made public without their permission, where their faces are easily recognizable. This either implied or outright stated that their reputation/career is ruined.

1st point seems clearly a blackmail kink, but what about the 2nd and 3rd points?

When I say category, I refer to more general kinks that different people like, for instance “incest”, “romance”, “torture”, “orgy”, “nonconsent”, “oral”, “gay” etc. These are the tags I sometimes see attached to erotic stories I read online.

Needless to say, I don’t need to be told all of this is illegal in real life.

  1. I believe it belongs in the category that gets you put in jail.

  2. Causing harm to other people is not a fetish, it’s a symptom of an underlying personality disorder. And no, I don’t mean Bdsm, that’s conensesual

  3. My comment refers to the ACT of assault, blackmail and revenge porn. Fantasy and fetish are not the same thing.

  4. Number three sounds like humiliation/degradation, which is a kink. It’s not one that interests me, but I’ve read a number of stories by u/AllTheseRoadworks , who has had a lot of success with stories where the fantasy/kink is all about the total degradation of women on many levels, including at the societal level. I could easily imagine him writing stories around the second and third scenarios you list. His stories fascinate me because the author is very clear in his self-promotion that, as he says, “my kinks are not my politics.” The stories are pure, unpretentious smut, but his hatred of governmental and societal exploitation in the real world sometimes gives his sexualization of those very things a flavor of pitch-black satire or parody. Though his kinks aren’t sexy to me, I enjoy reading his stories, and I can see how they’d be sexy to others. He’s a good writer who apparently does this full-time with financial success, so he’d be someone for you to check out.

  5. Probably falls under humiliation paired with cnc, also as long as the scenario is a fictional one I wouldn’t worry about people calling it illegal.. coming from a survivor :) fantasies are fantasies.
