How natural body chemicals affect U/us in D/s

DISCUSSION WITH SIR CLAUDIUS BDSM and Biochemistry - Understanding the Biochemistry of Submission, Attraction & Attachment Our bodies naturally produce a wide array of chemicals, many associated with lust, attraction and long term emotional bonds, but many BDSM activities have similar effects. This discussion will attempt to define the chemical behavior of our bodies in a “Vanilla” setting - and then show how play impacts these chemicals.. Come learn and offer your thoughts and experiences! O/our body's naturally put out a variety of chemicals neurotransmitters and hormones in D/s What are some vanilla activities, that naturally put out chemicals, falling into relationships is one, there is 3 3 stages 1. erotic passion - primal lust stage, you have a primal connection testosterone and estrogen are roles that play in this, firing off the sex drive, and blind studies say that some women estrogen peeks are more aroused, more receptive to having sex, and its linked to their cycles. 2. romantic attraction - its where we feel that emotional attachment its so much more than just sex, its that emotional attachment. it kind of also blind us to our partners faults. Dopamines, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, these are all important chemicals....and they do play all roles in this type of relationship 3. attachment stage is more in it for the long haul, oxytocin, and endorphins play roles in this...these chemicals , oxytocin always helps the baby's and mothers bond more with this chemical, its also releases when you have an orgasm, it changes your brain waves....it bonds us more, this also causes the uterus to spasm..it heightens the orgasm. people refer to oxytocin as the cuddle hormone or the love drug its very important in pair bonding...relationship bonding. When we play, we have a fight or stressed analgesia ...its when your so pumped up, that you don't feel the discomfort, whether its from fear or excitement . there is a mechanism that causes it, its the endorphins during all these interactions. , your dopamine is highly active when you experience pain or think that you will. responses varies between individuals, on how they relate to how the pain makes them feel...the more pain or fear the greater amount of dopamine is released. Dopamine is what our minds uses as we learn, or reward ...When Dom's try to instill behaviors in Their subs they will become conditioned...its because of the dopamines. there is 2 types of conditioning Operant conditioning consequence to an action and Pavlovian is the stimulant response you burn this in your dopamine, if your wired this way, you can possibly not want to orgasm with anyone but your partner, thats a form of dopamine...its part of the Pavlovian conditioning...you have to have the mental frame work for this to happen. example, how many people in this lifestyle, who are doing things in this life regular ...would you feel regular and happy without your dynamic at some level? The play is like a drug,, its more of an addiction, sub frenzy and there is a Dom frenzy as well both sides of the equation...these are what dopamines do to us. They make it where everything seems more intense, more enjoyable. What are endorphins and what do they do they make us feel good? Endorphins, they are released during times of stress, they activate opiates that helps with pain. When W/we do play scenes, do you think it brings out the endorphins more? heightens it yes...it can reduce the fear or pain reaction In some ways we are all dopamine addicted, in addition when we talk about other things, such as altered states, all kinds of altered states..sub space, sub frenzy, Dom frenzy..these are all opiates from your dopamines the reality of everything is the receptors and how we receive pain vary..paradigm in place, many people are attracted to this life because they are wired differently, but that is what makes this life beautiful, there is no one size fits all, as long as its consensual that is what makes it beautiful. To bring it all in, as a Dom and sub, understanding O/our pleasure centers...allows U/us to train and be trained more effectively...due to dopamines.
