Voltare,
This same question was posed to me just last week. This was my response:
~Subspace:
Often mistaken to stand for "submissive space" when in actuality, it stands for subconscious space. In other words, the trip a sub/slave takes into subconscious levels of thought during play. This is only achieved with both active participants in a D/s or BDSM partnership. You do not have to be committed to a particular Dominant exclusively to experiment with sub space. But without a solidified trust established between the two elements, this is virtually impossible to reach. The key element to attaining sub space is the ability for the sub/slave to "let go", and without trust, this too is unattainable.
That said, it is hard to explain exactly what sub space is, or how it feels. Each sub/slave is obviously unique and came into the lifestlye with their own intentions, backgrounds, and needs. In my experience, each time my Master plays with me, the sub space "feels" different every time. This is largely due to the fact that He approachs each scene differently....i never know what to expect....one of the many reasons i am in rapture in my place as His slave.
As i said, it is hard to describe the elements of sub space. But, there is one recurring level i seem to frequent in my "trips" there:
It is dark...the wind howls with the fierce persistence of a neglected child. i am utterly vulnerable to the cold and bitter enviornment surronding me. There is a force watching...an almost tangible fear engulfs me....and i run. To what end, i do not know...But He is no more than a foot behind all the way. My heart pounds...and i know i have lost the fight when i feel His sweltering breath on my neck. He is upon me...the terror overcomes my mind...i submit. He sinks His teeth into my flesh. He holds me close....and i am safe.
The beautiful thing about this path i've chosen is the learning process. Every day time we play, i find more about myself. i couldn't really explain whom the "He" is for certain...perhaps it represents my father, maybe my previous Dom with whom i had a bad experience, or instead a deep rooted subconcious fear i have yet to fully understand. Whatever it may be, my Master takes on this role each time we play. It is an art to truly Dominate a sub/slave....To be able take someone on a journey into different levels of their mind, and knowing the exact moment to pull them back. i am so very fortunate to have found a Master who not only comprehends this, but practices it with conviction. ~
..this is of course my humble opinion. i too would love to hear other other views on this.
