- In this video, Dr. Kate Balestrieri, explores the differences and similarities between experiencing sub drop and post coital dysphoria (PCD).
Sub drop occurs after intense BDSM scenes involving dominant and submissive dynamics, where a submissive might feel a drop in mood due to a decrease in endorphins and adrenaline. This can include feelings of sadness, exhaustion, and anxiety, which can be managed with aftercare and communication with a play partner.
Post-coital dysphoria, on the other hand, is common in women and can affect anyone after consensual sexual activity, leading to feelings of sadness, anxiety, and irritability. The causes of PCD are not fully understood but may include hormonal changes and emotional triggers. It's crucial to communicate with your partner and engage in self-care to manage these feelings.
Both sub drop and PCD can be linked to body image issues, sexual trauma, or experiences of sexual assault or abuse. Seeking support from a mental health professional can be beneficial if these experiences significantly impact your well-being. Understanding these conditions helps individuals feel comfortable addressing their emotions and maintaining their mental health.
