Definition: Sub-Frenzy, sometimes/often happens with new subs (and there is a counterpart with Doms, by the way), where you are overcome with the need and want to dive into every aspect of D/s you can think of, from journaling, orgasm control, tasks, structure, guidance, check-ins, and the granddaddy of them all, collaring.
Most often sub-frenzy means neglecting important parts of your life such as work, family, and friends, but also importantly, overlooking the red flags in your D/s relationship, which often results submitting to a vile human being who preys on people. The frequency with witch this happens makes me ill. The story goes like this: a woman innately is drawn to D/s, but being new or newly infatuated, loses her bearings and gives all of her vulnerability to somebody, not because they earned it, but because she aches inside to submit because she has such a need to experience all of the BDSM/ D/lg feels and, unfortunately, ends up regretting it later.
This is why some of the best advice is: don’t look for a “Dom” - look for a good human being, then broach the subject of D/s.
How do you avoid subfrenzy?” With the right person there is beauty in diving in full force. Giving your complete and total self, under the right circumstances, is an amazing thing. The love story so many people have come to read about or think they are witnessing around them is very enticing.
The difference between “sub-frenzy” and just being in love is that your judgment is often outside your control as a sub, which is why choosing the right person to submit to is so important.
Common Red flags include:
- Does this Dom have a good relationship with former subs or exes? Would he be open to allow you to talk to them? Does he speak of them in high regard? Do they speak of him in high regard? All my exes from years back with rare exceptions have been some of closest friends after.
- Does he get impatient if you are not ready to broach a new D/s topic?
- Does he make your D/s exclusively about sex and sexuality?
- Does he absorb what you say, take interest in you, your journals, work work, your school, your hobbies, etc.
- Do you feel like you are one of the most important things in his life? (you absolutely should have no question about that if you are submitting your control to him)
- Does he push subjects too soon? For example, orgasm control and collaring are for mature D/s relationships, where love and deep trust should be established. Does he want this before he earned it?
- Does he take interest and care about your work, family, friends, life, etc, or is it all about him, and sexual gratification?
I struggled with sub frenzy, and am not sure it is possible to avoid it. But it can also cause serious damage; my progress with D/s was negatively impacted by it.
I caution all submissives to be aware of the signs, because it is so common. As a new sub I had a harder time managing it, but even as I progress I still feel like I ebb and flow and sometimes feel frenzied again. Certain traits such as OCD and hypersexuality may make you more susceptible, but it is an individual experience - no two sub frenzies are exactly the same. to it, so in some ways it is also individual. Awareness is key, but even being intellectually aware of the possibility, when you are so needy and desperate to have those needs met, it is easy to havin blinders on to the dangers. It is important to both know about it and understand the potential for harm.

Woohoo, Shy! Way to go! ((((((((((((super hugs)))))))))))))
Also to Cas: thanks for the post on subfrenzy- I learn something new here every day
And to BFG: tag, you're it! (no tag backs)
[COLOR="purple "]This is fantastic news! I'm so excited for you![/COLOR]
My mama always said it wasn't proper to chase boys.
*smoothes out my dress*
I know you'll be back around.
*tags Shy* You're it! He ran over there!
❤ this.
This should be a sticky.
Cas, you are simply the best!!!
The pie looks delicious and your post above was on point. I’ve been guilty of sun-frenzy as well but I’m very very lucky that I have someone who is always a home base for me and keeps me grounded. That’s where the love and years of trust comes into play. I just wish he liked being called Daddy - he’s not into the title![]()

Beautifully written, cb!
This was the best advice I received years ago when I was new. I actually had a Daddy friend that mentored me, taught me what to look out for, taught me about safety if meeting someone, etc. Open the field up to people, be friends with others, when it's right it will fall into place. And, that's exactly how things have happened more than once.

Hey everyone.

I feel very very lost right now.

chocolate always helps me when I can't figure anything else out.
Stick around, and you will find your feet on the path again, even if it is a new strange road.
best of luck to you EW.

"Not everything called love actually is love. There are twisted imitations and devious deceptions out there. Not everyone who wants to love you knows how to love you. There are people who have not yet learned Love’s ways or who have been taught a distorted version of love. If you’ve been burned, know that it was not Love that hurt you. It was but a distorted shadow of what love should truly be."
quote by John Mark Green
This song played at the end of a documentary I watched today and I just lost it. I bawled and then looked up the lyrics and bawled some more.
There’s a beautiful kind of therapy that can be found in music that moves your soul.
I hope it will touch someone else as well

TAG!!!
Now you’re IT
Bahaha
*scurries out the door*
does anyone want to share their needs for aftercare or times when you received the aftercare you needed or when aftercare was a missing element?
I have a bit of a scary story. If you don’t want to hear about a little hurting, don’t read the next paragraph.
[snip]
I guess what I’m trying to say is aftercare is an important element to any real relationship, but especially one where power dynamics play key roles and I’m glad you raised it as a topic, CB.
