Spanking aftercare(BDSM)

What activities do you participate in during aftercare?

Aftercare focuses on pampering and nurturing.

The care is typically directed towards the Submissive (the person who receives the stimuli during a BDSM scene), but it can also be directed towards the Dom. It is about physical comfort as well as emotional support.

What exactly is aftercare?

What exactly is Aftercare? Aftercare, which is considered an important aspect of kink, is caring for your partner(s) before, during, and after sexual activity. Through the practise of aftercare, love and care coexist with power and aggression in these erotic spaces. Aftercare, at its most basic, is a post-game check-in between partners.

Before you dive into any BDSM scene, you should learn about aftercare. BDSM aftercare is an important part of every scene that ensures no long-term harm, though it may be less intense if the scene isn’t intense. Learn how aftercare can help mitigate the profound effects of a traumatic scene on your body and mind.

Why Choose BDSM Aftercare?

Even if you’ve done the activities in the scene a hundred times before and it doesn’t appear to be all that intense, a BDSM scene can be a powerful thing. Pushing your body to its limits will result in a physiological response. The surge of adrenaline and endorphins causes a temporary imbalance in your body. Sub drop, or the rush of these chemicals leaving your body, can be just as unsettling.

Cortisol, in particular, is your body’s reaction to stress. And, while you may be a willing participant in these types of activities and even enjoy them for their ability to reduce perceived stress, your body will react accordingly [1]. If you are under prolonged stress, which is unusual in a BDSM scene but may occur as a result of a stressful job or an unhealthy relationship, your body will continuously produce cortisol, which suppresses your immune system [2].

If you were on the receiving end, you may be sore from receiving punishments or being bound in awkward positions. You may feel mentally and emotionally exhausted, disconnected from your partner, or perplexed about your enjoyment of the scene. You may feel disoriented and detached from your body.

Other signs and symptoms include

Lethargy
Inability to control temperature
Blood pressure can be high or low.
Nausea
Pain
Headaches
Dizziness
Muscle weakness
a lack of concentration
Unconsciousness
This can all come as a surprise, especially if you weren’t expecting it. However, your dominant’s guidance and aftercare help to alleviate symptoms and bring you back down safely and comfortably.

You can also reconnect with others through aftercare. As your partner, you may have felt as if you were in another world, or you may have burrowed deep into your mind. Giving and receiving BDSM aftercare strengthens your relationship.

Aftercare Examples

Because of the popularity of cuddling and food after a scene, some people refer to BDSM aftercare as “cuddles and carbs.” However, there are a number of effective aftercare activities.

Taking Care of Wounds and Injuries

Any bruises, abrasions, or other injuries must be treated immediately. This could include cleaning and bandaging abrasions, rubbing soothing ointment on a red ass, or applying an ice pack to reduce inflammation in any body part.

A first aid kid should be included in your BDSM aftercare kit and kept on hand in case of any mishaps during playtime.

Restocking

A glass of water or a bottle of Gatorade hydrates your body while also providing electrolytes. If you enjoy soothing tea, try it. Dehydration symptoms include inelastic skin, sunken eyes, a dry mouth, and rapid breathing.

It is also beneficial to provide a snack to restore balance to your body. Snack on something light and healthy, like bananas or strawberries, to replenish natural sugars that may have been depleted after a scene. Salty snacks replenish potassium, which may have been depleted due to dehydration. Consider a smoothie to treat both blood sugar and dehydration at the same time.

It should be noted that while many people experience a drop in blood sugar, diabetics may experience the opposite.

After an intense scene, it is normal for your GI system to be in shock for up to two days. However, drinking something can help you rehydrate in as little as twenty minutes.

Physical Comfort and Contact

The amount of physical contact you require or provide as part of aftercare depends on your relationship. Some people prefer slow lovemaking, while others prefer cuddling. A sensual massage (discover sensual massage techniques) can help partners stay connected and work out muscles that have been sore from either giving or receiving stimulation during the scene.

Anything that causes an orgasm can lift your spirits, which may have fallen after the scene ended.

If you’re not cuddle partners, a warm blanket or cosy robe is an easy way to provide aftercare for your partner. Some people enjoy slipping into cosy PJs and slippers, and cuddling provides both physical contact and increases oxytocin levels. More on that later.

Sleep

Sleep is an important form of BDSM aftercare, whether you’re tired from all the hormone activity in your body or simply exhausted from spanking your husband. Some people only require a nap (sometimes with their partners), whereas others require a full night’s (or more) rest to allow their bodies to repair and return to normal.

Laughter and talking

Sometimes BDSM aftercare is as simple as talking and laughing with your partner after your scene is over. Some people use this time to talk about what they liked or disliked about the scene. However, you may want to wait before criticising someone who may be especially vulnerable as a result of BDSM activities.

Bathing and beauty regimens

Drawing a warm bath for your partner (or the two of you) could be the ultimate form of aftercare. Filling it with a bath bomb or warm bubbles enhances the ambience, and the warm water soothes tired achy muscles. To enhance the mood, consider lighting scented candles or incense.

Activities for Relaxation

Any activity that relaxes you may be appropriate for aftercare. It could be reading for some people. Others enjoy colouring because it is repetitive and relaxing. Video games may be just what you need to get back on track.

Your Favorite Form of Media

Finally, after a scene, consider playing soothing music or watching your favourite movie to unwind. There are no surprises in this case. You’re familiar with the plot, which is comforting as you return from your scene.

Dominant BDSM Aftercare

Aftercare for spanking

Although most reading material focuses on submissives, dominants can benefit from aftercare as well. There are times when a sub does not require aftercare but a dom does.

Dominants may experience physical and mental exhaustion, and a chemical cocktail of hormones can cause extreme lethargy. Even if you’re a people pleaser, creating and controlling a scene can be exhausting.

They may be dealing with things they said or did during a scene, as well as troubling feelings or behaviours. Guilt is common even among experienced dominants, who may wonder what kind of monster can enjoy hurting the person they care about the most. Endorphins can cause a high, but the crash that follows can be severe.

While most people are aware of sub drop, few are aware of dom drop or top drop. Top aftercare for submissives can include food or drink to replenish the body, cuddling, or a massage. It can help someone who has been swinging a flogger for a long time, just as a few words of affirmation can help someone who is suddenly feeling inadequate.

Oral sex for a dominant can even be appropriate to end a scene and reinforce your connection. When both a submissive and a dominant require aftercare, it’s best to focus on what you can do together and what you need to do right away.

Dominants are more likely than submissives to experience withdrawal symptoms during their drops. They may need hours or even months to return to the concept of BDSM activities. A particularly needy submissive can make re-stabilization more difficult. Some dominants (and their submissives) benefit from having a trustworthy third party take over tasks and errands until the dominant can resume full participation.

When a couple is unable to exchange aftercare, a third person can act as a surrogate in some cases.

Regardless of your role, you and your man can both provide BDSM aftercare to each other rather than one of you performing aftercare for both of you.

Aftercare Scheduling

Aftercare for bdsm

As a dominant, you may assume that your submissive’s aftercare will last all night, so plan accordingly. If you must part ways, make sure they have a way to get home that does not require them to drive. A subsequent phone call ensures their safety.

Although much of the BDSM aftercare happens right after a scene, this isn’t always the case. If your sub-drop or dom-drop requires you to rejuvenate first, aftercare may be postponed until after a nap. Checking in after a few days can also help reveal issues that may not be obvious right away after a scene ends. This break may also be necessary for people whose top drop or sub drop requires alone time, which can manifest as withdrawal that fades over time.

A few days after the scene, some dominants plan a coffee or ice cream date with the subs they’ve played with. Even if it was a one-time occurrence, this type of aftercare is usually appreciated. Everything could be great, or these meetings could allow the couple to talk about what happened and how it affected each of them.

Although the dominant is usually the one to initiate, a submissive can as well. The dom may be experiencing guilt or top drop, preventing them from receiving much-needed aftercare. If you find yourself in this situation, take care not to overwhelm your dominant.

Last Words on Aftercare

Whether you’re submissive or dominant, you may require aftercare from time to time. When you require it, you can and should request it.

It goes without saying that you shouldn’t engage with anyone who isn’t prepared to provide aftercare; however, as you can see from our post, what that care looks like and how much energy it takes varies.

Some people formally include aftercare in their BDSM contracts, while others discuss it. Aftercare comes naturally to some people. You may not have realised that the cuddles you share with your man following a BDSM interaction are part of the BDSM aftercare. But they are!

Finally, even if you’re travelling alone, you may require and administer aftercare. Some people enjoy self-flagellation, so it’s up to them to soothe the area they’ve flogged and ensure they’re not in any danger. If you find yourself in need of aftercare while alone, consider enlisting the help of a trusted friend.Spanking aftercare

Of course, you may not always require aftercare. A light bondage session, for example, may not be draining at all (read more in this post). But it’s better to be prepared and know what might happen than to be sorry.Spanking aftercare

As important as BDSM aftercare is, it can also be simple and straightforward at times. What your partner requires may appear difficult or foreign at times, but you must still make an effort to ensure their emotional and physical safety.Spanking aftercare
