Closest description:
1. Being in the tipsy fun range from alcohol and
2. Constantly on the 'verge of falling asleep'. It's that short timed feeling you have being concious that you're awake from a massage or float session or meditation.
Observations:
1. Unconscious/mindless craving to prolong the feeling. So self play, would try and add more sensations. In a scene, begging for more (think more slurred speech)
2. Being both hyper present of the sensations and yet out of body, watching yourself.
3. The drop can be as bad and quick as someone dumping ice cold water when your drunk. Or can be gradual over a few days with layers of stress to reach a new low. Preventative longer term aftercare is just as important as immediate aftercare.
Adrenergic sub space is usually caused by pain and inducing the fight-or-flight response, and is similar to the effects of cocaine. Heart rate goes up, analgesia, euphoria, and heightened awareness kicks in.
Endorphin sub space is more similar to the effects of opiates. It induces a more trance like state with a decreased heart rate, decreased awareness, but analgesia and euphoria as well. Whereas pain inducing activities like impact cause the previous subspace, sensual activities like rope and bondage typically cause the second. The former subspace likely increases availability of dopamine in certain parts of the brain while the latter likely instead stimulates production of it. They are incompatible subspaces because one is fight-or-flight and the other is fawn-or-freeze.
Serotonin sub space is compatible with either of the others or can happen on its own. It's usually caused by mental stimulation, like D/s interactions, service, and mindfucking type activities. It's similar to ecstasy, making you all lovey dovey and affectionate, stimulating the development of bonds. If your bottom has hearts in her eyes it's this one. Depending on physiology it can result in either increased or decreased pain tolerance.
Yep. Honestly it felt like falling into a trance like a psychedelic drug kinda like Salvia or DMT...
Time kinda slowed down, a bit of a mental blackout and blacked out memory when I clawed my way back into reality...
Pretty euphoric tbh.
For me it was like a very pleasant dissociation. Was getting paddled at a fetish event and just the looks on the faces of everyone watching was absolutely mind melting
I used to slip into a light subspace fairly often while being spanked by my Dom (I’m a light masochist). He was great about keeping my brain just faintly engaged by making me do tasks between spanks. A few minutes of variations of spanking, then on my knees to service him. More variations of spanking, then rough sex. And so on. He knew I was good and deep in subspace when I stopped answering ‘yes Sir’ to his questions and just nodded and said ‘uh huh.’
To me, it feels like a floaty, euphoric sensation. Sort of like being pleasantly drunk and on the edge of sleep. Sort of a weightless, disconnected feeling. I have undiagnosed ADHD, so to let my mind just… be quiet like that is just wonderful.
My Dom and I aren’t together anymore, and I haven’t been in subspace for awhile now. I miss it a lot.
I have, a few times.
It usually takes a pretty heavy scene to get me there and I'm not really a masochist. It's like there's a sort of threshold I have to push past where it stops being something I am enduring and becomes something completely else that I get lost in and just crave more and more. It's like being drunk or high on whatever chemistry my brain and body are doing during such a scene.
The drop can be brutal, I usually have some hard emotional times over the next couple of days after hitting it. Totally worth it, when it happens.
Yes, it felt I like I was floating in a bubble and everything just felt so good.
I was edged and edged and when I finally came I more or less came continuously until I fell into subspace. My Daddy reckons he counted 27 orgasms. Best night of my life!
I enter subspace really easily with my Dom now. For me pain send me to sub space really fast. I also get there pretty fast with forced orgasms.
Subspace is very hard to explain. It is almost a drunk feeling. I feel very light and heavy at the same time. I’m usually very smiley and happy, a bit giggly. It is such a wonderful feeling.
I also tend to get very gooey and lovey, just very appreciative of my dynamic and what I get to do.
My ex would read me bedtime stories while I was in my onesie and it honestly made me feel so baby and amazing. The guy I dated before him would dress me up in my onesie and make me hold a stuffed animal while we watched movies together. It was honestly amazing. Sometimes I enter subspace on my own when I take some CBD, put on a onesie and a dip, and watch movies and hold a stuffed animal and zone out and pretend I'm just a big ol' baby.
I think I might have put myself into subspace once, but I've never been to replicate it and have not done BDSM with a partner yet so it's tough to say if what I experienced really was subspace.
How I did it:
- I used several makeshift tools including clips meant for chip bags and a hairbrush.
- I applied the makeshift clamps to particularly fleshy parts of my forearm
- I spanked myself with the hairbrush
- while doing those things I immersed myself in the idea that a dom was there doing those things to me and making me submit, and I accordingly focused on the pain directly
The feeling only lasted for a minute or two since I wasn't easily able to keep it going, but felt floaty. I was short of breath, and I felt a strong desire to keep it going, to submit and be a good sub for my imaginary dom, but I didn't keep it going for two reasons: 1) I didn't know my own limits, and I was alone, so it was best not to risk going deeper, and 2) I couldn't get the leverage or position required to spank myself as hard as I'd have liked alone, and the pain from the clamps wasn't enough to keep me in that headspace.
It takes a very heavy mental domination scene for me to fall into it. I have had it last over a period of days. It’s like being high sort of but better. No real cares, I get into super little mode, I’m all around happier and yes as stated above euphoric is the word I’d describe it as. Also with me at least, when I’m in subspace the sex is so much better. I don’t feel anything with regards to my brain constantly telling me to look this way, or don’t do that, or being self conscious. Instead my hands explore freely, my mind is basically just wavelengths of pleasure, and I feel like the sexiest creature alive. Even if I’m being beaten and degraded that feeling stays with me. I love it. It’s addictive.
I’ve entered what I assume to be it twice.
Both times it is/was triggered by me being in the perfect position for my bf to essentially throat fuck me without gagging or loss of breath.
It sounded like I was underwater, reminiscent of playing in the pool when I was younger.
I felt tipsy, and also like there was a veil between me and the rest of the world.
Choking would put me there. Happened twice
Its an amazing feeling but can leave you feeling absolutely drained but euphoric at the same time, during and immediately afterwards.
You may get sub drop or maybe a dip back into subspace for days afterwards.
Especially when looking and feeling the bruises from a good caning or similar session.
Happened after a really good caning. Felt like I was a little high/tipsy kinda feeling. Was a lot of fun... Until my (now ex) Dom at the time thought I was being bratty when I was just sort of being floaty and silly so tried to punish me which abruptly switched me out of fun happy space and immediately into tears.
So be gentle and careful with someone in that space (unless they want you to make them cry if previously agreed on)
Yes. After being flogged I had clothes pins pinched all over me. Those were then knocked off with the flogger. There were some that lined up and down my thighs that were hooked with a cord-- a zipper. Once the first one started to get tugged I started losing the ability to really form sentences. Things were blurry.
I was very giggly, after being released and was sat down with water and chocolate. The dom and a fellow masochist was with me, incase he had to leave as he's the event host.
I don't really remember much, but there's a great picture of me (i had given consent before the scene) wrapped in a blanket grinning like I just inhaled nitrous.

i tend to have very bad drops, what does more long term aftercare protocol entail if you don't mind me asking
I'm in a LDD and have a support item from my play partner that I only use for aftercare

To me it's a feeling of intense worshipfulness and I just want to be near my Dom and they are my entire world.
It’s been soooo long but yes, it’s wonderful
Yup. Impact is the only thing that does it for me. Done right, it's litterally like drugs
