i have often heard of this mentioned, but since i am still really brand new to this, i would like to know what  subspace is, and can it last for more than 3-4 days???

i was going to start off with a "for many people"....but i won't...read the past posts on subspace and pay particular attention to the posts with endorphins in it...or endogenous morphine (which is what endorphins is short for and people who have done a bit more research will throw that in)...and that will give you a "for many people"....

from another post i made...probably in that list of links, i don't know....

for me, subspace is a form of dissociation...and without getting too deep into psychology...imagine the brain having layers...one section of layers being the "human"  or "evolved" brain and another section of layers being the "animal" or "primative" brain...i consider disassociation, to be the process of peeling back those layers...i am not there, but part of me is...i have never been in a scene where all the layers of the first section have been peeled away...therefore i have never been completely without some element of the "human brain"...it may may take me a little more time to access verbal skills...but they are still there...

now the fun part...to get to subspace the "easiest" way to access it is thru pain or any other intense or prolonged sensation that causes endorphin release (orgasm, laughing, etc)...for the sake of brevity, we will just say pain for the rest of this post...however...i have found that thru training the brain and i would guess (and thats a fairly educated guess) elements of hypnosis you can reduce the amount of pain  - whether that be time or intensity - to induce subspace quicker, down to nothing more than a trigger that when, installed properly, pushed by the right person puts me in subspace with a word or touch or even a look...(much harder than an orgasm on comand...) and in turn...that same technique can be used to keep me out of subspace if the the person on the Top side feels its not safe for me to be there....usually due to the enviorment and the people in it...
[end copy of old post]

and all that being said...if, for you, subspace is a dissociative state, being someone with DID that also dissociates because of traumatic things (i do not relate the two at all, one is a controlled decent, going down in an elevator if you will - subspace, the other is being thrown off a cliff - traumatic dissociation)...yes, i am sure it could last 3 to 4 days...i personally, would not want that...i don't function to well without higher thinking and i like functioning....the walking around and into walls and looking like an goofy [happy] idiot with glassy eyes is only attractive for so long, in my opinion anyway....

Dear colouredin. Perhaps when you reach my age you may get to start thinking a little different to what you do now. Feelings such as "subspace" and being spaced out in general are hormonal led feelings. Safe feelings can only come from our brains, and when we are not under influence. Ok, i admit we need the feeling to be led and send into space, whatever space. The warning is that our concious should be always alert to accompany us in those trips for safe landing purposes....

Well guys, i don't know what meds you guys are on but let me tell you that i also don't believe in meds.. my own body has the ability to cure stupid doctors diagnoses due to inability of our own.. How easy it is for us to resort to easy medicine prescriptions given by our doctors in order for them to get more benefits from our addictions...

I mostly go to subspace through pain....which is really mostly pleasure that i durive from it all. I have known other subs who have gotten to subspace just from being in bondage. I think it might be different for everyone.
As far as lasting for days i would have to say that it is like what LA said that it is more of a natural high that you can ride on for awhile....its so wonderful.

I go to sub space the second my gspot is hit three or four times in a row, a haze goes over me my eyes get glassy my cheeks get flushed, its very wonderful to see ^_^ and feel ^_^

So It can be gained in many ways, Ive never gotten it through pain, only through pleasure... So far that is.

NewFlash  G spot = no such thing.  Ask any doctor.  All those romanace novelist make zillions off that word that has no basis in reality LOL.

Web MD does have a differing opinion. Whether or not you consider it a valid source is up to you.

G spot

A personal observation: I've read, at minimum, 300 romance novels in my life and never, once, has a single author used the term g spot. Are you sure you're talking about romance novels and not porn novels?

My knowledge is baised on what docs have told me.  They have freely admitted that there is a lot of conjecture on the subject but no evidence.

SailingBum.. personal experience.. there is a gspot.

Personal experience:  i don't know if it's the g spot as much as it's the o-m-G! spot.

Fuck the doctors' opinions, imho. The ""g-spot" do exist, maybe not for every woman, we are all different, thank goodness. I know, I've been there, got the t-shirt, thanks.

What I do wonder about , though, is "squirting". I know some women say they do, and some men say they have experienced it. Seems like just piss to me. Some men seem to be obsessed about this. I wonder if it is just a male fantasy for some guys, or even a subconsciuos, repressed  gay thing. Not my thing though. Just curious.

i will agree with the BadOne. There is no such bullshit as subspace.. Its all in your head. If someone wants to create a dreamland in there minds and think that they live in it they are free to do so. Its all in your head. Only reality exists. Illusions are for dreamers and wankers

Baby i'm sorry to correct you but that is called "nervous" You where at a stage that was feeling nervous and excited and you got those feelings. They are perfectly normal and can appear in any kind of relationship. Its possible that your partner can experience the same too but due to the nature of his role may not show it. For you its perfectly normal to show that but for the D unfortunetly they need to restraint there emotions sometimes. Others plainly show ignorance to fight back the feeling of having to show there emotions.

Hey there captain cjan.. i once met this lovely Lady who i found myself having the need to serve Her. She happened to be much younger then myself and somehow in a very unfortunate time of Her life. Anyway cut the long story short i had to become of some assistance to Her that is purely not in my desire. i let Her know about it that i only complied out of compassion but also because She gave me the opportunity to feel the spirit of the season. i am a single person and for Her to give me the opportunity to feel that i was buying some presents for a child was a real pleasure to me. When W/we contacted each other online after the shopping trip She asked me if i was into "subspace" or not.. It really pissed me off that i did such a act for a sexual release activity and i lost my self control and i really let Her have it.. i regretted that later on due to the fact that i should've forgiven Her cause of Your young of Her age. W/we still are very good friends and since then She does view me in a different angle. She obviously did not know me well, but i am also happy to help Her with anything if She ever needs any of me.

each to their own, but i still say your not experiancing something doesnt mean it doesnt exsist, you are not the be all and end all of emotional knowledge so i am sure people can freely dismiss what you are saying.  Sorry if that sounded rude it wasnt meant to I simply mean that you are poo pooing other peoples emotions and therefore i feel some sense of need to poo poo your opinion

pete, I read this post twice, and still don't get your point. Prolly,  at least one of us has had too much to drink tonight.
