What is a sub drop?

A sub drop is a term used in the BDSM community to describe the emotional and physical exhaustion that can occur after a intense or prolonged BDSM scene. It is typically experienced by the submissive partner, but can also affect the dominant partner to a lesser extent.

Sub drop can manifest in a variety of ways, including feelings of sadness, guilt, or shame, physical fatigue, or even mood swings. It is important for both partners to communicate openly and support each other during this time to ensure a healthy and positive experience.

To help prevent sub drop, it is recommended to engage in aftercare following a BDSM scene, which involves providing emotional support, reassurance, and physical comfort to the submissive partner. It is also important to establish boundaries, communicate openly, and regularly check in with each other about thoughts and feelings throughout the relationship.
