Thanks for the replies. I guess I should have searched for this topic before asking about it (my bad.) I definitely go somewhere too, but I'm not sure I'd call it "subspace" for the reasons mentioned. Just to recap thoughts on this subject from other times for anyone interested: quote:
I think it's a chemical reaction of endorphins to the brain caused by the pleasure that comes from a physical scene, possibly involving pain or sex or a combination of either with added bonuses. (KittenWithaTwist) quote:
It's akin to hypnosis (LuckyAlbatross) quote:
sub space for me is when everything seams right the pain stops being pain and i start to drift. (AlderTheKitty) quote:
There is a state of being that I sometimes achieve during sessions where I will go from really conscious of the sound and pain visible with flinches/anticipation, then somewhere in there loose that focus of that and it shifts to the actual feeling of what that pain is, and where it is..ie the warmth/stinging/burning, and it's radiating or deepness. (starshineowned) Then there's this A-Z ANSWER: http://www.collarchat.com/m_195635/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#195872 (off the same thread as the other quotes) quote:
For me, I rarely reach subspace, but when I do, I'm told I look and act like I'm drunk. (Evanesce) quote:
i am not very experienced at the conclusion of one scene, it took some time for me to surface and i was not able to make sound judgements of what was best for me i was very limited in my ability regarding motor skills and it was about 36 hours before i was able to think clearly i did manage to drive my car but got lost twice, made additional wrong turns, and had great difficulty staying alert and focussed on the road it was most definitely not safe for me to be driving at that time pity i didn't know that in advance more the pity that my Dom, the one who was supposed to bear the burden of protecting me was not aware of what it would be like to come out of subspace. (tapestry) quote:
First, to get there takes a whole lot of pain for me. And not just any kind of pain. I need the baby steps first building up to intense and overwhelming. When it gets to that threshold where I can't take anymore, it's either die or fly time. Then, my body does it's shut down and refuses to acknowledge the hurt anymore and it's just a 'thing' at that point and it's all about my head. My endorphins are on over-drive pumping so hard and fast, that I am, virtually, beyond all feeling. While I'm still completely aware of everything around me, the pain is just... gone and I'm flying. (bitatruble) quote:
For me, subspace is rather easy and quick to get to, simply because my nerves decided to cross link consentual pain to exercise. Simply pushing myself to muscle failure will send me there. (slipstreme) quote:
i totally agree with you subinutah that subspace can happen besides during times of excruciating pain. For example when Master whispers somthing nasty in my ear or even says it out loud i still feel it, even if it is a slap on the ass ect. (Hallittlelolita) quote:
eing suspended just plain gets me high. It starts when my Dom starts setting out bights of rope, and I am just stoned by the time he completes the tie and flies me. If I am going to play hard, my favorite warmup is being towed to the cross, preferably across some distance, by my hair. Not like dragged lying on the floor, but silently, forcibly grabbed and firmly held by the hair while being pushed or pulled to the altar of my chastisement. My body gets the message that "it"s on now, bitch!" LOVE IT LOVE IT WANT SOME MORE OF IT! Or some variation thereof regarding the hair. Hair tied into the hogtie. Make me go down in "present" position and stand on my hair while messing with me so I move. (classykindasassy) And for domspace, the inestimable veronica: quote:
