Sub drop

A low or emotional comedown a submissive may feel in the hours or days after intense play.

Sub drop is the emotional and physical dip a submissive can experience after intense play, sometimes hours or even days later, as the high of the scene fades and body chemistry settles. It can feel like sadness, tiredness or vulnerability and is entirely normal. Good aftercare, rest, food, hydration and continued connection with a partner help ease it. Knowing about drop in advance means it can be planned for rather than coming as a shock.
