How To Stop the Sub-Drop

Beat Sub-Drop

After one goes through all the biochemical changes from subspace, some submissives may experience sub-drop. This is similar to a brief period of feeling down in the doldrums, melancholy, listless and/or drained. The mind, body and emotions have much to process through

Everyone is physiologically different as well as their personal interpretations of various stimuli. And of course everyone’s emotions that result from said stimuli vary as well. Therefore, subspace and sub drop is something that not all submissives necessarily go through. Even if they do, it can vary vastly from person to person.

A few preventative measures can be taken to avoid sub drop as well as things that can be done during its occurrence if and when it happens:

Talk it Out with your dom and/or trusted friends and confidants.

Meditation decompress with yoga, relaxing music, aromatherapy.

Nurture yourself with proper nutrition & hydration. Plenty of water, fruits, vegetables and protein-rich, healthy foods will make a huge difference.

Light Exercise like walking on a scenic trail, or low impact activities. (Indoor swimming at a local gym can be helpful for example).

Reflection & Introspection.  Journal your thoughts, & feelings, goals. (A submissive journal similar to the sissy journal I blogged about a few posts ago.)

 Rest -Catch some Zzzz’s

Pamper Yourself with a relaxing spa day and full body massage

Talk with your femdom for submissive play aftercare and pre-care ideas to do together. As always, you can contact me via email  and I can help you through.

Brainstorm ways to prepare and think about putting together a Submissive Sub drop Survival Kit.

Discuss and evolve a plan for anticipating and accommodating your needs. Realize they may change over time and from session to session though. This is an ongoing process of tweaking as the bond and power exchange evolves. Always be sure to inform your femdom of any areas you do not wish to explore or that feel too extreme in intensity. Set soft and hard limits. It’s always good to have clear lines of communication open and/or safe words in place. You may even get rewarded with a happy ending to a stroking session if your Mistress is pleased with your progress.

Be gentle with yourself

 Give yourself time, think about what you hope to get out of your next session and how what may help lessen the aftereffects for next time. This helps because you will learn how to be in touch with yourself and express it.

What is Domspace?

Doms may also experience an domming equivalent of subspace called, “domspace.” It tends to be to a lesser extreme degree but can be a result after an intensive bonding experience with their subs. Bonding helps replenish us as well as you. There even is what’s considered a, “dom drop/domme drop” phenomena as well that can be dealt with and prevented in much the same way as above.

What works for you Mistresses and subbies? Care to share with the class anyone?
