Honestly, I don't use the word "subfrenzy" to describe simple thirst for love, being horny or plain loneliness. These exist too, by all means, and people who feel as if they don't exist or aren't whole without a partner can be found anywhere. But from what I have seen, a person can fall into subfrenzy even if they DO have a marital partner and they are loved; it's about bdsm, not just loneliness or sexual validation in general. Subfrenzy is when you're half out of your mind out of need for submission or pain. Sometimes that means you'll convince yourself you're "in love", sure--sometimes it'll make you forget that love is even something that you care about. I have seen a few mild cases of "domfrenzy" too, essentially in cases where a dominant gets increasingly irritable, distracted and unable to concentrate until his or her bdsm needs are met. I haven't seen any dominants who have gone as far as some of the submissives I've seen, but that may well be a matter of random chance. And there is also one vanilla analog I have seen in the non-bdsm world, and that is the addictive behavior that you sometimes see in gentleman's clubs, where men become "regulars" to one or more dancers. They continually come in, night after night, to throw cash at these women. That addiction can get every bit as ugly as gambling in terms of how it economically and socially destroys the victim.
