What is drop?

In my experience and opinion drop is not unique to sub/dom bdsm it's anything intense the brings emotion and endorphins and adrenaline it's your body trying to go back to the norm after a extreme experience be emotional or physical. How does one go from being tied up hanging over a fire and whipped and than the next day go to work? It messes with you sometimes just like going to a big music festival with lots of partying it's hard to return to the day to day and feel normal and feel like you fit in with your surroundings and can make you feel depressed, tired maybe physically sick.

I don't I let it do what it does I don't experience it much anymore but the times I do it's almost comforting after

How can you support a partner goi

I never really had a experience of trying to support someone through it normally everyone I know that has gone though it you just let them be. If it's someone who suffers from pre existing depression than maybe be more hands on and just check on them a lot but I do know a lot of people have diferant opinions on it.

What is drop?​

For me, drop is a low after a huge high. This usually happens after an intense play session.

Have you experienced drop before?​

I have. I have experienced as both a sub and a Domme.

What does drop feel like to you?​

This can really change. At times it has felt like a deep sadness, not wanting to do anything. Other times I have felt overly emotional or overly anxious. A lot of the time it can feel a lot like PMS. I also feel inadequate or insecure.

How do you prevent drop?​

Aftercare is super important to help me prevent drop. Also just attention in general. For example, I am more prone to drop if the person I am playing with just disappears after, even if we have done aftercare. And self care! But honestly, I don't think there is any way to stop it if it is going to happen. it doesn't mean you or your partner did anything wrong if it happens.

How can you support a partner going through drop?​

Listen to them. Let them tell you what they need since everybody is different. Reassurance is always important.

What helps you survive a drop?​

Chocolate, love and attention, cuddles, an attentive partner, reassurance, self care. And most of all, time.
