Sub Frenzy

"Sub frenzy" is a term used to describe an intense and often overwhelming desire experienced by a submissive to be submissive, explore their submissive side, or engage in submissive activities. It's often characterized by a strong urge to submit, please their (or any) Dominant, and experience the sensations and emotions associated with submission - potentially with a disregard for their own needs or safety. Sub frenzy is the opposite of Dom frenzy.

It's important to remember that sub frenzy is not an excuse for being taken advantage of. If a submissive consistently struggles with setting limits or feels pressured to engage in activities they're not comfortable with, it's crucial to re-evaluate the dynamic and seek support if needed. This can involve finding a more experienced mentor in the community, and joining submissive communities like FetLife groups, Reddit threads, and local munches. Some people also recommend talking to switches, who have a more well-rounded view of power exchange dynamics.
