Being a sub, and I speak only for myself, isn't a choice, but just the way I was built. The "wtf am I doing" stuff just means you are sane and careful, which will serve you and your relationships well :) But I could no sooner question why dogs love to play tug than why I love to give myself over so completely. I often cried during/after sex, even before embracing submission. It would happen as a result of a deep emotional connection or realization, though in those moments I couldn't put words on it. I think it is extremely important for D-types to recognize what is cathartic and what is a big red flag. Tears from orgasm, for me, are sometimes followed by a fit of the shakes, they are nothing to worry about. Tears from physical pain don't mean stop, for me, and they look different from the I'm-not-ok-right-now tears. Ideally, for me, bad tears would mean play stops and I am held until the grief passes, we can talk about it, and then play can even continue. It's a worthwhile investment for the Dominant, because it unlocks more of the sub and makes new things possible. Plus it's immensely healing and can bring you close in very special ways.
