You don’t have to be in the BDSM lifestyle long to hear the phrase ‘subspace,’ but what exactly does it mean? Subspace is a mindset that submissives may get into when in a scene. You’ll see why this happens to some people and not others, why it doesn't happen in every scene.

It’s normal to experience everything from exhaustion to hunger to cold to disorientation toward the end of the scene and for a few hours or days afterward.
