aftercare depends upon circumstances,it isnt just about the hugs cuddling drinks and keeping warm etc its also the practical things such as applying any ointments needed or bathing and checking welts, open wounds, bleeding (needs to be done during too!) marks etc.

as a rope lover being in the ropes afterwards for a while (doesnt have to be anything to intricate) is wonderful as it gives that feeling of security and safety and warmth like being held and soothed,although its best not to do it immediately and not as restrictive as it would normally be.

people talk about the need for discussion which i fully agree with but sometimes you're just not capable of it, when you're punch drunk its a bit difficult to have serious conversations so it has to wait sometimes not much point to it otherwise.
if at any point the Dom/me feels that the sub is getting too spaced out my personal opinion is that they should slow things down or even stop it if necassary or stop if the Dom/me feels he/she is becoming spaced out too can he/she be fully alert? because the sub probably wont be.

i need to be kept awake for a short while afterwards when ive been really spaced out if not i tend to go into a very heavy sleep and wake up more disorientated and confused and often a headache and thats when im most likely to drop.which will leave me weepy and dazed.

'subdrop' ...probably the worst drop i ever had was after a really intense long session.
i was high as a kite for quite a long time,giddy laughing and wobbling all over the place.
i had a sleep a little later when id come down and felt absolutely fine for the rest of the day and the following morning,but when we went shopping later the following day Icehawk left me just for a minute to get something and i got really paranoid it seemed like everyone was staring and talking about me,my vision was a little blurred i started feeling panicky and was convinced he had just abandoned me and started to cry and shake.
Icehawk had to hold me steady while we got back to the car keeping me constantly occupied and alert without overstimulating me or the minute my concentration went i was back to feeling dazed and weepy.

he gave me icecream tucked me up in bed and read to me until i fell asleep and didnt leave my side,it wasnt until a day or so later that fully stopped all the time he kept a close eye on me.
ive had drops before nothing major and short lived but that was the worst ever and it really flooredme, im just glad i had Icehawk there to look after me.
