i get how you feel i think, though it did feel pretty magical at the time lol.
i identify as a total bottom with some sub. i typically put it in that order and with that qualifier. To me, my submissive nature is still completely under my control, even when i choose to submit. i do not see what sometimes qualifies and 'submission' as submitting, but acquiescence. To me acquiescence and submission are very different.
i cannot speak for anyone else but myself, but certainly did not mean to imply i was in any sort of dangerous or untenable 'space.' It actually was a highlight experience of my sexual life and opened both my experience and understanding to something i had never even considered as a potential connecting place in me (i.e. "regression").
my own take on kink relationship in general is that it's for adults who take responsibility for their acts and decisions. One of the things i felt during and after our interaction was 'adoration' for this Guy. That was a new one for me. i tired to communicate the effect He had, but i'm not sure He understood, which led me to conclude it was chemistry not a purposeful effort on His part to regress me. idk, but it really doesn't matter either way. i was just fine and richer for the experience.
I totally relate to your own experience. I identify as a bottom, too. I've only felt submissive to two men in my life and married both of them. Any other man (or woman) thinking they're going to dictate what I say or do, what I eat, when I go to bed or get up or how I dress or who I talk to will get a rude awakening. I don't need to be micromanaged by anyone. ?
You're not the one (of many) that I've seen trying to tell someone that subspace needs to be supervised by some all knowing and always capable dominant person. I honestly believe a lot of these kinds of remarks are made out of that ever present NEED for those types to want to be in absolute control of literally everything in someone else's life and that they're truly convinced that submissive types would forget to breathe if not reminded. ?
I'm still close friends with my ex who's living. He is a licensed forensic psychologist/hypnotherapist and also has an M.D. in psychiatry . That feeling you described of having been in a trance like state is one familiar to me and it's the floatiest and warmest feeling I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I'm happy that you were able to experience a similar state as well. Even me calling it a "trance" like state isn't worrisome to me. I regularly play the self-hypnosis tapes he's made for me over the years and never feel untethered or as if I'm floundering just because he's not physically present. At any rate, I can relate to your own approach to kink more than I can to most people. ?
