Dom drop refers to the sudden feeling of emotional distress or emptiness experienced by a Dom after an intense, adrenaline-filled, and endorphin-filled BDSM scene. This psychological state resembles mild depression and is often accompanied by symptoms such as physical fatigue, anxiety, and self-doubt.
⚙️ Why does Dom Drop occur?
During a BDSM scene, a Dom requires intense concentration to maintain control and structure. This "control" suddenly ceases after the scene, leading to a sharp drop in hormones.
A Dom may reveal deep desires or engage in extreme behavior during the scene, and post-scene reflection and guilt may ensue, asking, "Did I overdo it?"
Sub drop is more common, but dom drop is also widely recognized, though less discussed.
