So, what is this submission thing?
Submission is something that happens during a BDSM play. As a submissive, you will experience an altered state of your consciousness. That means you will have a feeling which is similar to being drunk or high, except you get to enjoy your altered consciousness without taking any drugs. Isn’t that a deal?
A group of hormones and chemicals called endorphin, epinephrine and enkephalins are produced in your body during BDSM plays like suspension bondage, spanking, flogging etc. These chemicals are released in your body as a response to fight or flight situations.

Many submissive women experience submission without knowing that they are in a submission. It’s like having a special moment and not knowing it. You enjoyed it, but you could have enjoyed it more if you knew something special is happening.

Entering subspace can be very enjoyable, but you should also practice caution. If you go far into subspace, you can injure yourself without knowing it. In subspace, your sensation to pain will decrease. It’s very important to discuss the limits with your partner or you might end up getting hurt. During submission, you are going to be completely vulnerable, so always choose someone you can trust and rely on.
