This became a better thread in the following, rather than the OP. LA, I wouldn't disagree with you. I, most certainly have known those who can not stand to be touched after a scene, and really don't particularly care to hear from a Top again until the next time to play rolls around. No, I wouldn't say they are the majority, but they certainly exist. They don't work well for Me, because I tend to be a person who needs certain aspects of aftercare Myself. I tend to have Top drop without it, so I tend to avoid playing with those types. The greater question is this. Where was the discussion about this *before* the play ever happened? I know I can't be the only one out there who thinks this is a subject that should be just as much of a part of pre-scene negotiation as to what type of play, medical conditions, safewords, etc., that a top and bottom should discuss before the two engage in play. Not doing so is just begging for problems afterward. I consider Myself very fortunate in this area. I have some lovely bottoms that I play with on a semi-regular basis. Not only do I know the type of play they enjoy, how intense they like the scene to be, and how to enjoy our time together, but I also know how much or how little aftercare is required. I know their favorite blanket to be wrapped up in. I know what candy is their particular favorite. (Not to mention which ones need sugar free candy, because they are diabetic.) I know which one's tears need to be wiped away, and I know which ones prefer a follow up call, rather than an email. I know which ones I should contact the next day, or which ones need a few days to process. How do I know all of these things? I asked.
