Subdrop is the state of physical, emotional, and psychological withdrawal from an intense interaction with another person. So – this is my personal definition of subdrop, based on my own experiences and through the filters which I have developed in which to see these things. ![]() I’ve also experienced subdrop myself, and I can say that there are a great many similarities. I am too much of a control freak to do otherwise, but while I did not enjoy the high as much as I was told I would, I certainly got to experience the crash. I steadfastly avoided drugs for the most part in that part of my life. I’m not aware of any permanent injuries taking place, but there were several people that just disappeared from the community after a bad scene.īut I digress… the point of this was that the definition for subdrop was given to me in the context of the ‘come down’ from a cocaine high. Tops would not realize how much force they were using because they didn’t feel normal, subs would take more than they should because they were impaired, or in the worst cases, subs would become non-responsive and Tops would fail to note the signs and assume that no reaction meant they should redouble their efforts. ![]() When you couple those reduced inhibitions with cocaine, which was very prevalent in the scene in the late 90’s and you get some really bad things happening. It makes you bold when you should be meek, it makes you sure when you should question, and it makes you take risks when you should be cautious. It makes you exactly the opposite of what you should be when you are impaired. Having a drink or two to cut the edge off things is generally regarded as safe, but that is a hazy line to try to draw, especially since alcohol reduces inhibitions. Personally, I think that mixing drugs and alcohol with BDSM scenes is extremely dangerous. I’m always a bit fascinated by how the scene differs from city to city, but that’s a topic for another day… I suspect it’s much the same way now, but I have no firsthand knowledge. Play was very rough, people’s egos were very large, status was very important, and drugs and alcohol were prevalent in order to make things even more extreme. The Los Angeles scene at that time was defined by extremes. I don’t know where the term ‘subdrop’ originated, but when I was first introduced to it, it was within the context and from the point of view of someone in the Los Angeles BDSM scene at the end of the 1990s. Well, I’ll tackle the questions here then : What is subdrop? How would I know if it was happening to me? What causes it? How can I avoid it?Īs with everything in the BDSM world, these are terms that mean different things to different people in different circles and experience levels. I even go so far as to say that it will be the subject of a future post, but then there is no such post – yet. ![]() A reader recently pointed out to me in email that in my Finding subspace post, I talk about subdrop but don’t define it. ![]()
