submissive-seeking: “Because brain chemistry matters!My two cents:The brain is in a fragile, pliable state when being inundated with neurotransmitters. Great for sex in general. Really great for sub training. Really, REALLY great for subspace.Subspace is the ideal destination, but it IS a fragile brain state. This is why aftercare is so necessary. The brain will try and return to its “normal” state. But it often over compensates with wild swings of chemicals to get the job done. (Read here subdrop)Aftercare helps the brain return to its “normal” with a lot less wild swings. Learn your sub’s brain, not just their mind and body. Provide the aftercare that best returns the brain to “normal.” Be prepared with the obvious stuff like re-hydration (water and electrolytes), simple to digest foods to restore glucose, and basic body soothers (warmth, returning full blood flow to restrained joints, soothing marks to skin, etc).Always be aware of that brain fragility because life happens. If “life” interrupts subspace your gut should be screaming “DANGER WILL ROBINSON. DANGER.” The same goes for aftercare being interrupted.Leaving a sub in a fragile brain state is dangerous. To the brain, it mimics trauma, abandonment, and threat. Worse, the body is usually in a spent state, so the brain can’t really respond to these. Now throw in the dependent, submissive mindset and VIOLA! you have a serious problem.” For a great post on aftercare, click https://submissive-seeking.tumblr.com/post/172631520225/can-you-give-examples-of-aftercare So very true. Even something as small as a text to say good morning can help if interrupted. -- source link
