I missed this comment earlier and it was too good not to go a bit further on it.

I"m not a psychologist or a physician so I can just take an educated guess at it. I would have to say they felt it because it was caused by some chemical in their brains. Perhaps once some subs are not in the presence of the person who provides them with the most enhanced emotions, they tend to drop and go into sub frenzy. Is it real? Yes of course it is real, but I do not think it is caused by solely by sexual denial. I think it is because we Dominants get very much into the minds of our submissives and we can become like a drug to them. Once that "drug" is taken away the brain chemicals that have been stimulated, lessen or cease and the sub "drops". That is the best way that I can describe it.
Some of the fears are unrealistic but the symptom caused by them are very real. Depression, mood swings, almost maniac behavior in some. Sub frenzy can be a dangerous thing for a sub and it has to be dealt with as a very real "illness".

Masochists, it's been argued, process pain differently in play situations. They interpret pain differently than others. Chenically in the brain, when the rush of endorphins floods the pleasure receptors, that is the 'high' that many people refer to as sub space.
Here's the interesting part. Guess what else does that? Synthetic drugs are one, sex is another, and adrenaline from exercise is a third. All of these produce the same kind of 'high' that many describe they feel during space. (By the way, space isn't only an experience that is felt by submissives/bottoms. It happens to tops, too.)
So, in that category (masochists) you have someone who is craving that high they get from the rush of endorphins (space) and very much like other types of highs, the obsession of obtaining it becomes greater and greater. It builds and builds, and as shown by the earlier definition of the word, "frenzy" is an absolutely accurate description.
Seems both ladies are describing a prescription for addiction. We are at the mercy of our pleasure receptors. I would haave to agree to that. And I especially agree with the notion of manic obsession when in need. I can testify to that. Whoa Nelly! And when the high becomes unbearable depression follows. Actually, it sneaks up unheralded. Oddly for me, depression arrives even in the midst of frenzied activity. Wtf. Everything is going well but there is too much sensory input....sensory overload. Maybe I cannot produce endorphins quickly enough or my endorphin reuptake system is bonkers. But there it is. I am having a hell of a good time and suddenly despair. I feel like such an odd duck. guess I am. But what the hell. It's a marvelous dance.
