Deep dives

Avoiding Sub Frenzy

Many beginners dive into the dominant-submissive (DS) dynamic with overwhelming excitement, leading them to make impulsive decisions that may result in emotional harm. This initial 'sub frenzy' often causes novices to overshare personal information or engage recklessly with individuals online, creating situations they later regret. It is essential for newcomers to recognize the importance of pacing themselves and reflecting on their actions before acting on impulse. By taking a moment to breathe and consider their choices, beginner submissives can safeguard themselves from burnout and disappointment in their kink journey.
