yes, that was me on Thursday night. Lots of rope and listenng intently to instructions being given to me (by a photographer) and I felt myself starting to go into subspace. I didn't even necessarily perceive the situation to be D/s but I recognised myself relaxing into the hands of someone I clearly trusted and respected for their skills - the very same way I feel with my Dom. So no I certainly don't need pain but often it reinforces the power exchange and, for me, reinforces my trust of the Dom. This is not just any scene, This is an S&M scene xx | ||

its a wonderful feeling both sides of the rope and a hard thing to find in intensity "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ~Marilyn Monroe. | ||

I've felt this through certain people and words since I was a teenager. It's very hard to explain and it's nothing to do with pain and it's quite rare someone can make me feel like that but it's a lovely feeling when it happens. | ||

When I'm in any situation that I find stressful but can't control, I can get weird, brief flashes of subspace. And I mean even the most humdrum of situations. For example, sitting in a crowded waiting room at my GP surgery, not knowing how long I'm going to be waiting, surrounded by screaming kids. The stress and irritation builds up and then when I reach the point where I realise there's nothing I can do and I might as well just accept it, I get the most bizarre (and delicious) sensation of buzziness/floatiness/safety. It's only a tiny taste of real subspace, but it's a very odd thing to get unexpectedly. Makes the day better, though! TP | ||

I read this thread with interest. I am domme but for a while thought that I might be switch as I love pain. I was very confused as when pain was being administered I never ever felt submissive or that I wanted to please the other person at all. In fact he would see me looking at him and realise that at some point in the very near future he would be in trouble. He has been the only one to spank me using various implements) and he often bruised me and I would find myself going somewhere pleasant where the pain couldn't reach me? What is this head space called i wonder? As I am not sub nor do I ever feel in the slightest submissive......is this the same space that subs go to or somewhere different. Pain excites me and gives me a sexual thrill so how does this fit me being domme? i have yet to answer this. | ||

I'd say there's a couple of different types for me. One is when I go all floaty due to prolonged restrictive bondage - left to just be like that and I'll most likely experience a different mental state (and quite nice it is too). Another is what I'd probably call subspace, and I find it much harder to pin down what might lead to that, but it's definitely that altered state of feeling very submissive, very humble. Oddly enough I had a dream this morning about a very simple submissive act that led to feeling this in the dream - and even when I woke the sensation was still there for a while. The other state, the one caused by pain - I've maybe been there once or twice, so it's pretty damn rare, and not something I particularly ever expect or hope to achieve. Usually for me pain keeps me very grounded in the here and now rather than sending me off to la-la-land.

Reading this thread just shows that there are as many takes on what submission is as there are submissives. Lots new there then... | ||

I'd be curious to know whether you remember feeling this before encountering subspace in a more conventional way? I've not visited subspace myself but I find my memory plays strong and fascinating tricks on me in other ways with patterns of sensations and almost folds in time. | ||
