ORIGINAL: Kaiynasha After an intense scene become emotional yourself? Or become emotional during the actual scene- say a flogging or whipping. Being completely thrilled by it all but just emotionally you feel like crying. I had this happen to me. I wondered if it had something to do with the scene itself or perhaps something personal with me...... But I just wanted to gain opinion from others about suddenly getting emotional during a scene and how did you handle it? There is such depth to this question! It certainly is a fascinating one. The question is really two important questions: 1 Do you feel an intense emotional response? 2 Why do you feel so emotional? Few quick thoughts: BDSM can be a powerful experience. And an expression of love in a loving D/s relationship. There would be something wrong if you felt nothing. A scene can be so beautiful it moves you to tears (as can vanilla sex, apparently,but that has never happened to me ). You can also feel tearful for less positive reasons. An intense scene can leave you feeling exposed and vulnerable. Your True Self (which some Doms like to call the inner Beast) has been let off the leash and run rampant for a short time. You have - for a fleeting moment in time - been fully alive. And BDSM got you there. Ever noticed how time stops during intense BDSM? It feels like you were immersed for a few minutes but you look up to see the scene has gone for 3 hours!! That's the BDSM spiritual experience. BDSM is alternative love for some of us. This might be overwhelming at first. Coming down afterwards, something might happen to trigger feelings of shame, guilt, remorse etc You might even feel this way spontaneously. Its very hard to jettison the lessons of childhood such as "nice girls don't hit boys", "nice girls don't do kinky things to get their rocks off", "nice girls are not selfish" etc etc Your soul soared for a short while, but your ego is back now in control and doesn't like your fleeting bids for freedom one little bit. Being in "Top Space" can be a scary ride the first few times. Where was I? Who was I? How could I do those things and feel so exhilarated? We all know that subs go into subspace thanks to endorphins, but an intense scene takes the Top/Domme on a trip to another planet too......and what goes up, must come down. IMO Dommes need "psychological aftercare" in the form of re-assurance from the sub the scene was great and she is still hugely loved and respected, even after revealing her authentic self: violent, controlling, sadistic and very sexual The good news is that you are feeling something. You are not emotionally dissociated. Many drawn to domination are - and its very sad for them and their sub partners. But that is a topic for another day. My only word of caution is that a Domme can be too emotional, in which case something deeper is going on. If emotional repsonse all out of proportion to the triggering event or She is suffering severe mood change, I would suggest counselling*. The scene has brought up an issue she has trouble processing (abandonment? abuse? shame?) Watch how you feel and ask "why"? Know Thyself. Serenity will follow * I am not a medical professional. This is a suggestion based on my own life experience
