I think even without it being kinky or rough it’s a really good thing to have.

I guess it's always spoken of in kinky circles so I associate it with kink. I wouldn't say I need it after vanilla sex as that's quite touchy feely comfortable sex anyway? What would you count as aftercare?

It should always be given. In my opinion it's not a 'bolt on' or separate from what has gone before. Its just another level of the same experience. Both parties should get huge pleasure and strengthen their bond through this.

We don't specify it as aftercare but when my Dom and I have any kind of session we do spend a long time lying together and chatting to each other. He'll get me a drink and we make sure we are both ok with different aspects of the play xx this then continues over text the next day.

Depends what you mean by aftercare if you mean lots of cuddles and reasurence and such things then yes i kind of have to not just for her sanity but my own to bring myself out of that kind of mindset and more to my normal self

But some girls dont want that after so it takes longer to get myself to balance

What inevitable said above ^ is really my answer. Sometimes people don’t want anything like that and you can be left feeling cold. So it’s nice to have cuddles and just a moment like that after. For myself I can have this incredible mind blowing time with someone and if the aftercare isn’t there after, I’d just crash. It helps me anyway.

When it's good it's not "bolt on" for sure. I tend to get sub drop regardless but I really need that bond afterwards. If I don't get it (or get to give it)....

Only from an invested scene which we have discussed at length beforehand. DommeDrop can be exhausting as I'm looking after him as well as trying to keep my endorphin levels in recovery. Making sure all of his subdrop recovery aids are in place helps massively for a smooth transition to aftercare. Hence why I wouldn't do a bdsm scene more than once a month, I just don't have the energy to spend on any more than that

That definitely qualifies - sounds good too! I've enjoyed that in the past after playing/scening/whatever. I usually need something sweet to get me back on track too.

I think both partners need it, for sure. I've been with someone who needed it much more than I did. I'm a naturally affectionate person so I just turn that side up. I sat in on an online chat about aftercare a while ago - very much for the tops as well as bottoms. Both men and women need it to recalibrate - in my opinion anyway.

I think as a few have said aftercare will look different for everyone. It can be a cuppa or a cuddle. I think what is important is that it is established what is needed and therefore can be given.

When playing on our own, after care is essential. Especially if we've had a rough play session or role played.

Its just a nice opportunity to show each other love and affection.

Not really had the need to do so with other people, as we haven't yet had the opportunity to kink things up to that level.

Exactly this Whooey. It's nice to have that shared moment of intimacy even if you've not been strung upside down and made to recite 20 Latin phrases as you're spanked. I like basking in that postcoital afterglow, the conversations seem more relaxed and less hurried and it's like they're revealing the real them to me.

So yes OP, it's important to me. It doesn't have to follow a strict timetable or set of things that "Must Happen" but even little things like messages after mean a lot.

I think there is a difference between connecting after sex and aftercare. In BDSM terms and mainly SM it should be discussed before play as some people have specific requirements and it is well known that chemical changes in the brain occur with types of impact play.

However, I have read in the forum people who after sex experience symptoms similar to the drops described in BDSM.

As with aftercare in BDSM if people know they have specific requirements for drops, they should state their needs up front.

"When things have got kinky or a bit rough, do you need it? Do you give it? "

Definitely give it, because the recipient needs comfort, safety and security after the pain. Just pain and no comfort is a bit much like abuse in my mind. Although I don't judge others who enjoy that kink.

We love our aftercare cuddles it's an integral part of our play

Things get quite wild when we are in the swing of things but the reconnection with the normal world through aftercare is vital so we both know we're still ok with each other

In retrospect I might not have used the word "aftercare". I wasn't looking to make the thread about BDSM. Appreciate your contribution - always knowledgeable!

I guess my assumption was that a cuddle after sex doesn't need stating up front. Actually if it does need stating up front - I don't think that person is a good match.

Ones especially tailored to him that help ride the brain fog of subspace back into real time

Every submissive is different for their after care needs

I use energy drinks and high sugar sweets and a infinity cube to help with my aftercare whilst I am caring for him

If I don't then I will drop hard the next day

I agree with Tmontana.

It's not exclusively placed within the confines of kink or any form of roughness.

It's very important for me. When two people have immersed themselves in a long and sustained crescendo of oxytocin-laced 'entwinement', the aftercare is just as important as the lead up.

It's a moment of taking care of each other, letting our bodies come back down to earth, savouring the after-scent of our pheromones, still touching with a gentle persuasion but enjoying our own space at the same time.

The orgasm is transient but the aftercare endures for longer.

It all depends on the intensity of play. And ensuring both (or more) parties are OK. Sub drop and Dom drop for people new to play can be a little overwhelming, as can sub space if you are not sure what is happening. And the type of care can differ, some need a warm blanket and somewhere quiet, others love the rush but may need a sugary drink or sweets on hand. Each to their own, just make sure you discuss possible out comes before you start. Especially if you are new to each other as well.

It's very nice to see that many people value caring even in this environment. All too often it seems so shallow and fleeting, but we should look after each other. Not least so we can do it again...

I get spacey and zone out completely. I can and probably will fall asleep… I’ve curled up in the corner of a club and slept after a hard session. So I need to know I’m safe and looked after.

If I’m at home feeling him spoon me gives me that cared for feeling

If you care about the people you have sex with and have basic interpersonal skills you will already be doing it when needed.

For the rest of you kinky fuckers, you can read up on REAL BDSM 101 blog about how to ask your Sub if she wants a drink , it’s recommends using the line “Would you like a drink?’ And suggests water or orange juice are appropriate. Essential reading for Real Dons

I very rarely cry after impact play… I have a high tolerance to physical pain… yet emotional pain cuts me raw.

Aftercare is so important. Even in a vanilla setting. You can go to such highs, that it helps to have aftercare so that you don't get that sudden drop at the end.
