The chemistry of what we do.

One of the things that many folks read about and that even more s-types think about is sub-space. Many of the theories surrounding sub-space is that it is an altered mental state brought on by the release of hormones in the body, more specifically endorphines. What is less discussed and something that I feel has equal importance is Dom-space. It is the euphoric sensation that is a Dominant enters into during a scene or even in the D/s lifestyle while watching their s-types.

There is no supporting work on this at this time, at least not anything that has any scientific merit. But I would like to toss my 20 spot on the table and add a theory here.

My theory is, Dom-space is much like the state of euphoria that a person enters into when hitting a winning combo on a slot machine or gambling in general. We have "won" the hours of work that We put into it is Our pay off. So the brain, in theory, is providing a "feel good sensation" or positive reinforcement. Which heightens all sorts of things.

Just something to think about it.
