What is sub drop?

Sub drop, sometimes referred to as sub frenzy, is a term used in the BDSM community to describe the physical and emotional aftermath that some submissive individuals may experience after intense or prolonged scenes of BDSM play. Sub drop can manifest as a range of symptoms, including mood swings, fatigue, feelings of vulnerability, and emotional distress.

Sub drop can occur due to a variety of factors, such as the release of stress hormones during play, the intensity of the experience, or feelings of guilt or shame associated with engaging in BDSM activities. It is important for both the dominant and submissive partners to be aware of the potential for sub drop and to take steps to prevent or address it when it occurs.

Some strategies for managing sub drop include engaging in aftercare activities, such as cuddling, reassurance, and conversation, practicing self-care, such as getting enough rest and hydration, and seeking support from a mental health professional if needed. It is also important for individuals involved in BDSM play to communicate openly and honestly with their partners about their boundaries, needs, and concerns to help prevent sub drop from occurring.
