When I/we first started meeting I found the come down after a fantastic meet quite difficult to deal with and almost stopped me doing it - almost.
That adrenaline and excitement, after planning and discussing it for a while and then having an amazing few hours of fun, plummets leaving me a bit lost.
First 3sum in a couple of years and it was amazing - been smiling my head off all day but I feel like that low is just around the corner.
Anyone else experience this and if so how do you minimize it ? |

The come down is quite normal for a lot of people who swing, us included. After all the excitement and the adrenaline rush, it's what naturally happens. We just go easy on ourselves as we know it will pass, and we look forward to planning our next adventure.
Try doing something that you enjoy (other than sex ) to distract yourself until the feeling passes. |

It can be hard, I get it too, recognising what it is, and distracting yourself are important.
Give yourself a day to 'mope', pamper yourself, then plan your next mischief |

This 
I do have a low after a meet , sometimes just a couple of hours , sometimes a couple of days. Just be kind to yourself after and it will pass |

Good advice from all above, ive suffered this too, with a little guilt or dissecting the meet.
As others have said, it's ok and perfectly normal to feel this way, and I think going easy and taking care of yourself is a good way to deal with it.
My other half has said he has felt the same, especially after playing with couples. |

It sounds like you’re having what I call subdrop, it’s a bdsm term and can be caused by lack of aftercare, when you’ve finished playing try all having some chill time, snuggles and giggles before parting company |

Maybe that's it. It's was quite late and we had to leave quite quickly - not a usual situation. I love to cuddle afterwards. What a girl!  |

It does not seem to happen so much if you have met the same one several times , and know there will be another time when we are going to meet up . I find talking about general things to them helps come off that high , and yes get busy doing things , not sexual . |

This was exactly what I was gonna say. Sub drop, and there is such a thing as Top drop too. I've had it twice after Bdsm play. Although mine hits few days later. AFTERCARE is key. Being awear this can happen is a massive step forward. Take time for yourself. Reward yourself, hot bath, watch tv, choocies ect. Eating and drinking well the day before the meet too. I'm talking your 5 a day and water. Not Burgar king and wine.  |

It's refreshing a thread like this, yiu can learn stuff. Rather than the girth or width questions. |

Interesting thread.
I just wonder whether the subdrop effect is gender related since most of the responses have come from women.
I don't experience it personally, but then I have repeat meets from my regular FB/FWB. So I know my next meet is just a few days away, and I can focus on that rather than feeling low over the previous meet.
So does regular / repeat meets diffuse the subdrop effect?
Maybe, but maybe not. Will be interesting to know what causes it and how to counter it.

Thankfully this is not something I experience, I get the high after and it gradually fades but by then I've moved on to arranging the next thing anyway. There's no massive come down for me |

This is a really interesting thread for me.
We were active for a couple of years, then we stopped, or should I say paused, to extend our family with the intention of returning in the future.
What followed was worse than a drop, the bottom fell out. L felt full of regret and ashamed of what we had done. We weathered that storm and are back considering a return, but that's with some trepidation.
Was this our drop??? |

It's normal for anyone that immerses themselves into a situation where your levels of stress increase..
You get the high from the rush of adrenaline prior to and during the meet and your body floods itself with cortisol which gives you the downer when the adrenaline reserve depletes..
Try to eat slow energy release foods, ones with a low gi, to avoid yoyo feelings. Avoid sugary and fatty foods which feel great at the time but cause the peak and trough feelings. |

I get sub drop after an intense session .... sometimes it hits quick and hard. I've found that the best thing for me is lots of cuddles and reassurance from my Dom plus a drink and sometimes something to eat. I come round after a while.
It's worth the low for the highs I get |

Aww I knew my Dom was a good egg. I sometimes get the downs after regular meets but I’ve not had subdrop after a meet with my Dom. He’s the nicest guy ever. Always takes great care of me after treating me so badly |

I learned about it from the forums. I used to feel really crap afterwards and didn't know why. Being ready for it made it loads easier. |

I know with me I do not really think feel anything after a meet is finished other than it was fun at the time . I just switch back to my real life mode of general stuff. Fun is complete onwards .
Out of sight, out of mind with me I guess. Once the meet has departed It is finished .

This is a phenomenon not exclusive to ladies. After the high is always going to be a low. I’m a bit different because my meets aren’t rushed or wham bamm so perhaps it would be even worse if they were. |

I've certainly experienced this through the BDSM scene and I had a big drop after months of swinging initially. Now I'm much more aware and as others have said, aftercare is key! X |
