Looking forward to reading this thread. I admit I'm torn between 'aw jeeze, how hokey', and a side of me that totally respects energy flow, positive and negative, dynamic equilibrium... both in terms of the physics that drives the universe, and human or 'spiritual' energies. Anyway, I totally thrive on the dynamic energy of the elements, but it is incredibly hard to find a person and context to get that spiritual of a feeling from, so much intimacy, it takes so much time and depth of understanding to get there, so I don't share that in all my kinky or vanilla interactions, but I can in either context, and it brings it to a whole different level, though I never really thought of it quite that way before. This weekend I was wondering how I could be so paralyzed, shaking, leaden, numb, taking hours to recover, after a session that was not particularly physically exerting or prolonged, or even involving pain play. Mental and emotional energy transfer certainly explain it romantically, but the scientist in me also reallizes the huge role of the chemistry of the nervous system; depletion of neurotransmitters on the pre-synaptic side, and saturation on the postsynaptic side of all kinds of conflicting pathways... But romantic explainations have value too, they allow us to appreciate the awe of it all and connect it to our emotions, I don't knock that, and express things that way myself some times. And that the acts of that session wouldn't have left me in that state if it weren't for the intense emotional context. ~ J
