OK, obviously i have more to say here, (smiles). It makes me sad that people rush so quickly to judge a submissive who is experiencing the feelings that are identified as "sub frenzy." Yes, often those feelings lead to bad judgment. It is a lesson we almost all must learn - the hard way. i'm looking around and wondering if there's anyone here who can say he/she has never had a moment's lapse in judgment as a submissive or slave - especially when awash in the feelings of passion, arousal, and submission? i know that i have. Feelings are simply that - feelings. They must be felt, dealt with, and moved through. The Internet teaches us that the solution to "sub frenzy" is in the hands of the Dominant. The Internet is wrong. The only solution for "sub frenzy" is inside of the submissive - and it is a process of emotional growth and maturity that she must go through. Yes, there are some people out there who throw around "sub frenzy" as an excuse for poor behavior. But honestly, i most often see someone being blamed of "sub frenzy" when she is simply trying to find her way as a new submissive in this huge world of BDSM, experiencing new sensations and feelings and emotions that she is suddenly awash within - and i see her as deserving of empathy, and as much guidance as we can offer (and that she will accept) as possible - because she's not using it as an excuse, it is simply the current state of her experience, and she's trying to deal with it and get help with it. For me, i've learned to deal with the feelings of sub frenzy through yoga, meditation, and sometimes simply just withdrawing from the situation - or even the world. i've learned to communicate honestly and effectively what's going on with me - and to be obedient and serve no matter what my feelings are. But these skills take time and discipline to learn. i didn't have them on day one. So my thoughts: let's consider less judgment, and more empathy, around this phenomenon that we call "sub frenzy". We all know it happens. It's how we help others that matters.
