Cold after impact play?

[SweetErika]

Is it common to get cold after a period of impact play like flogging, paddling and spanking?

I was trying out a bunch of toys tonights, and after about 20 mins. my husband got really cold. He felt okay otherwise and said it we were way below his pain threshold, but we both found it odd because he usually runs super-hot.

I might have heard something about getting cold in passing, but wanted to check and see if anyone else has experienced this, and, if so, what's likely the physiological cause.

Very common. Cold, slightly shocklike response -- not a bad thing, but having a blanket or a bathrobe on hand isn't a bad idea.

Erika just a question does he ever just start to shake or spasm?? I know this happens to me any time I play, sometime its from the cold other times I think maybe I am on overload sensation wise.

I don't think I've even gotten cold durring play, but I tend to sweat, and then after play I get a chill some times. I have head of it before tho.

 

[Chicklet]

i get cold quite often, but i also sweat... cold sweats maybe? anyways, yeah, that happens to me.

Thanks for your thoughts, guys! Luckily, I had turned on my heated mattress pad before we started, so I put him in the warm side of the bed when the shivering got more intense, and he was fine in a few minutes.

This was the first time we played seriously, but, yes, he was shaking/spasming some. Part of that was shivering from the cold, but the other part was the extreme sensation, I believe. I'm sure his newness contributed to any sensory overload as well.

Get cold myself. Sometimes it's no more than skin temp, sometimes it gets a little deeper, but I don't drop to hypothermia or anything. Seems fairly normal..IIRC it's part of the body's normal response to trauma. But I'm not positive on that. I'm not a doctor, don't even roleplay one. *grin*

I think I heard someone at the club say that when we are playing, the bottom is pushed into a low level shock response. Hence why after you play you might need to wrapped up in a blanket. Now because of what happens to me I need to hugged during play letting the Tops heat radiate into me and help me comedown from the overload. I just hate that any time I play this happens.

I get cold very quickly in day-to-day life and struggle to keep an even body temp.

I do get cold very quickly after play, but it can happen during play as well.

I have always put it down to shock to the body, as oppose to a psychological response.

I like to have a blanket or duvet, a cover of some sort on me after play. But that is for practical reasons (I struggle to warm up at the best of times), not after care reasons.

Aftercare is not something I want, need or enjoy.

Putting a blanket on or getting into a warm bed can interrupt the fun, so maybe we'll bring in the space heater next time to see if that helps any.

Yes it can lol

I know there have been times when we have not been 'scening,' but laying together or fucking, and I have surreptitiously tried to wrap the duvet around my feet.

A heater in the room is a good idea, but it may make it too hot for you.

After all I imagine all that 'crop wielding Domming stuff' can work up quite a sweat at times.

*tongue firmly in cheek*

Socks never look sexy with ankle cuffs though

I'm usually cold (even with my thyroid meds, my temp averages around 97.5), so I probably won't get overheated with him on the heated bed and the heater blowing on him. I guess we'll see.

We made a rope flogger yesterday, and after about 20 practice swings I started to feel my muscles working. It's 10 lengths of quite thick/heavy rope, making for a weighty toy. I told Hubby I may have finally found an exercise program I'll enjoy sticking with in S&M, and I just may make him my main workout buddy.

I have this happen, too, along with being cold. A solid cropping/flogging/spanking, and I'm shivering, teeth chattering and trembling and twitching, especially in my legs. Some warm blankets, and snuggling always works well for me, to calm me down and warm me up.

Thats a great idea *grins*

Are you turning into a Domme to get your exercise going?

Not quite this bad thank goodness. But Sweet in the middle of a scene when you are in cuff and stuff I don't want to have to stop for something so trivial as the shakes. Not saying I don't want to be safe. I mean in the last scene I did these two woman had me on the verge of tears and they stopped to let me come down a bit. Now I didn't say I wanted to be pushed pass the point of tears, but then again I never ask for that because of the level of constant pain it takes me to get there.

That works for me - then the blanket for after

I concur with what other have stated here.

i dont' get cold during play, but after, when i'm coming 'down' so to speak, and i'm sure it has something to do with the endorphine rush. i'm guessing it's quite normal. i know after i had an epidural i had the same thing happen, and the doctor told me it was from the 'energy' and endorphins that were released when they were putting the 'needle' into my back *shrugs* but i've never had it happen DURING a scene, though i've only had a few experiences of r/l scenes.

Getting cold

I've only played a little with BDSM, but I usually yo-yo between either extreme - from overheating and blushing all over to being shivering cold with chattering teeth and needing a blanket, usually either when I'm at a point where overall sensations are at an almost unbearable peak or after orgasm.

Come to think of it, most time's its been when a blindfold was involved, so that would tie into the sensory overload theory.
