BDSM play can be strenuous and intense but it isn’t always extreme situations that cause a submissive to faint or pass out.\u00a0 When you lose consciousness it’s because the body is under stress and decides to shut down.\u00a0 The combination of adrenaline and odd positioning that often accompany a session can be enough in itself to cause an event.\u00a0 Throw in a little pain and the ante goes up.\u00a0 The following are just some of the causes of fainting in session:<\/p>\n
There are a plethora of factors that can contribute to fainting in session and it can happen to anyone, at any age, so heed the following precautions:<\/p>\n
Advice for Tops:<\/p>\n
In my personal experience, ED drugs, CBT and the St. Andrews cross = a perfect storm.\u00a0 One of the factors is lack of circulation due to locked knees and hands above the heart in this position.\u00a0 Use extreme caution in this situation or avoid it all together if you are not familiar with the sub and his responses.\u00a0 The good news is, most subs revive quickly once you lay them flat.\u00a0 They may be disoriented for a few seconds and think they were out longer than they were, but it’s usually only for a few seconds.<\/p>\n
If your sub loses consciousness, the most important thing is not to panic.\u00a0 The biggest issue you have at this point is moving them safely to a prone position.\u00a0 If they are on the cross, unhook the legs first and pull them out a bit so they don’t fall forward when you release their hands.\u00a0 Have full weight release clamps on the wrist connectors.\u00a0 Their full weight will be on their wrists and it will be difficult (if not impossible) to unclamp them without release clamps.\u00a0 While releasing the wrists, push your shoulder into their torso to bear their weight the best you can and guide them to the floor.\u00a0 The bigger the sub the harder they will fall and this can be a difficult maneuver to do on your own, but they must come down in order to wake up.<\/p>\n
Once they are flat on the floor aid in circulation by propping their feet up above their heart.\u00a0 As stated, most subs wake instantly, but it’s still a good idea to have them rest in this position for a while before trying to move.\u00a0 Give them water to sip.\u00a0 Simple sugars like juice or hard candy (always keep some candy in your play bag) are\u00a0helpful in cases of insulin drop.\u00a0 \u00a0Most subs are able to rest for 5-10 minutes and want to continue the session but use your discretion as to whether to continue or not and if you do, keep them in sitting or lying positions.\u00a0 Tables are best but I have never had an issue on a spanking bench either.<\/p>\n
If your sub does not revive quickly or becomes incontinent this is not a good sign and it’s time to call emergency response.<\/p>\n
Although I did have this post reviewed by a doctor\/<\/em>sub client, it is not meant to be all encompassing and if in doubt, always err on the side of caution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a topic no one seems to want to talk about but it’s a real concern in BDSM play.\u00a0 Out of the thousands of hours of sessions I’ve been involved in I have had this happen maybe 15 times – so although it’s rare, it does happen.
