Introduction
Sub drop is a term many have heard of in the circles of BDSM. An emotional and physical state, described for events that might happen to one after a scene, mainly in the case of people in submissive roles. How to understand it, why it occurs, and how to manage it effectively will be discussed herein.
What is Sub Drop?
Sub drop is an emotional and physical low that occurs shortly after the BDSM scene. These feelings of sadness, exhaustion, or anxiety can occur along with this. This is because, in a scene, one’s body is filled with chemicals like endorphins and adrenaline. When these wear off, the feeling in mood and energy can drop.
Causes of Sub Drop
A sub drop is caused by many different reasons. It can be partially the body’s reaction to the abrupt cessation of an intense experience. The endorphins and adrenaline rush during a scene create a high. When this is taken away at the end of the scene, the sudden shift can throw a person off, making them drop emotionally or energetically.
The psychological aspect has its part in it, too. For submissives, after a scene is over and was deeply joined, sometimes a feeling of loss, or even emptiness in general can be felt. Such a sudden transition in emotions can increase the symptoms of the sub-drop and make them more challenging.
Managing Sub Drop
Thus, managing sub drop requires strategies on both physical and emotional fronts. Generally, it begins with the recognition of the signs at play, such as physical exhaustion or irritability, and dealing with them.
One very effective method is aftercare. Aftercare nurtures and reassures after a scene, easing the transition back to vanilla life. It can include physical comfort in forms such as cuddling, as well as verbal reassurance.
Hydration and nutrition are also very important. Keeping hydrated and eating well-rounded meals will help regulate your body’s chemistry, aiding in recovery. Rest and relaxation further help in bouncing back from the drop in energy levels.
The Importance of Communication
Communication plays an essential role in managing sub drops. Free and frank discussions between partners about expectations, limits, and the need for aftercare are cardinal. These will better prepare them to handle a sub drop and see each other through all ups and downs associated with a BDSM experience.
Trust helps in the atmosphere of building up an environment where partners are able to support each other more. Good communication only strengthens the overall relationship and therefore also smooths out the sub drop.
Recognizing and Addressing Sub Drop in Others
If you are a dominant or a caregiver, it is important that you recognize the subtleties of sub-drops in your submissive partner. Be sensitive to mood changes or shifts in energies. Provide support and aftercare where needed. Reassurance and comfort during this time can ease the experience greatly.
You can help provide a safe space for your partner to be expressive, with all their emotions and fears. It will not be an easy transition, but understanding that sub drop is normal and responding accordingly can help.
The Role of Preparation
One of the most valuable ways of dealing with sub drops is preparation. Talking about the possibility beforehand during a scene helps both partners plan for aftercare and support. Such planning may include an agreement upon aftercare practices, recognition of potential symptoms, and strategies on how to deal with sub drop.
Preparation will enable both partners to be in a better position emotionally and physically to handle sub drop, hence easier.
