I have definitely had domme drop feelings after some good sessions or prolonged play. I agree with @Mistressnikki in that it is a feeling of being lost and also a sense of loss. Personally, like Angel, I find champagne can help (let's face it, it cures most things! ... alcohol the perfect short term solution) I find that snuggling up and sleeping helps. On awakening focussing on new things. Lady Emma | |||

There is no such thing as Dom/me drop. This is just switchy tendencies showing though. True Doms are made of rock. (Though not the kind you get at the seaside) I are be Dom. RAWR! Fear me. ^^^^ This is probably a facetious comment. | |||

I definitely get drop after an intense play session. How to deal? Just don't worry about it too much - have a walk, get some fresh air, focus on things I have to do. It's only chemicals, it goes away. When I want your opinion, I'll thrash it out of you | |||

The link mentioned that @Caracal frequently links to and quotes is this: http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/dictionary/Afte... It explains a lot about the physiology behind what we do and how it can affect us, and what is a good idea to do to alleviate the issue. At the end of the day, it's true...you can't be high as a kite all the time, it wouldn't work. So feeling a bit low is simply the reaction, the balance, to the incredible highs we experience. But it also goes beyond that, and can cause some reasonably sever physical symptoms if not dealt with. Not everyone experiences it or notices it. Of those that do, not everyone is affected particularly badly, or every time. But some people get it reasonably frequently, and it's important for them to figure out what helps, what doesn't help, and whom they can turn to.

I as a Domme 'drop' as I mentioned in a different thread. The adrenaline and endorphines run very high when I'm with my subs and after a prolonged meeting it can take up to a week for me to come down in which time I am tired, both mentally and physically. Sometimes moody for which some might say is natural for me anyway and I feel almost lost. So yes Dommes can 'drop' as well.

I drop terribly - it usually hits about Wednesday after a Saturday play date. I used to go go the gym and that helped a bit. I don't do choccie much, but some people say that helps. The cure that seems to work the best for me is to make a playdate soonish so I have something (my next fix, lol) to look forward to.

Well I don't know if what I am feeling is 'Domme drop', but having had very little contact with my sub over the past couple of weeks while he has been abroad on holiday with his kids has left me feeling decidedly out of sorts! I think this is more about a feeling of imbalance than any hormonal drop, but whatever it is I don't like it.

Yes, good LTRs tend to do this for me a lot of the time (much to the wonder, and sometimes irritation of those around me. I've always put that down to jealousy.)
Absolutely. The beauty of a good LTR is that great play is never more than a couple of days away. After one session you're planning, new, exciting and different things for the next. There's no time to drop. Who wouldn't be on a high? Can it last? Yes, for years at a time.. |
