3 Benefits of BDSM Aftercare You Must Know
Couples who are into BDSM fetishes and fantasies tend to reach high levels of sexual pleasure and satisfaction, which in time, results in a better sexual life and a more intense series of experiences. However, certain aspects need to be considered in order to make a relationship grow through such intense sexual encounters. And one of these aspects is aftercare, especially if you and your lover tend to appreciate exciting sessions of rough sexual experiences. Aftercare can benefit your relationship tremendously if it is done right and at the most convenient timing. But what is aftercare, you might wonder and how can it benefit your relationship for the long run?
Aftercare is an intimate session that you share with your partner after an intense sexual encounter such as bondage style or one with punishment. During aftercare, you will focus more on your feelings and your partner’s feelings rather than on your sexual pleasure. You can discuss the sexual scene that you enjoyed and see what practices were appreciated by both of you and what were not so effective in order to have a better experience next time. Assuring your lover of your deep feelings of love and appreciation is essential during aftercare, especially if you are the dominant type. And here is how a good session of aftercare can benefit your relationship and make it stronger over time!
1. It increases the level of trust between the partners
Trust is the key to any successful relationship and without it, there is no way you’ll have a happy and healthy connection with your partner. Aftercare is all about reassuring the love that you feel for your partner and boosting the trust level that is between the two of you. During BDSM sessions that might involve spanking, whipping, or any other type of sexual practices, your submissive partner might develop a set of hurt feelings that is not going to show until it is too late. But if you have a session of aftercare after such intense sexual experiences, you will be able to establish the trust level between the two of you and move on as a happy couple towards your new experiences.
2. It opens more sexual opportunities
Aftercare is a gate to more sexual experiences, even if it might not seem like it. When you talk with your lover about your sex life and the practices that you have been trying as well as the intensity of your sexual pleasure and satisfaction, you will discover new ways to please each other in the future. It is a great way to share your fantasies and make a way to put them to practice. Chances are that both of you will be more open to share your thoughts and emotions during aftercare and that will make room
for even more intense and exciting sexual encounters in the future. So, if you have any particular fetish, such as pet and pony play, this is the time to let your partner know about it and see how they feel when it comes to trying it with you.
3. Aftercare maintains the emotional level balanced
The emotional level between two people is important, especially if we talk about long-term relationships. The balance of that emotional level can be affected by the type of sexual encounters that you two have during those intense moments in the bedroom. Sex might create pleasure and give both partners a high level of satisfaction but there are practices that may have a high impact on the emotional aspect of your relationship. During aftercare, you have the chance to talk about your emotions and share thoughts about how you felt during the last sexual encounter and what would you like to change about it, if there’s anything at all. Be patient and be a good listener to your partner and adapt your sexual desires to them too because pushing each other into one direction or another can have a bad impact on your relationship altogether. As long as you do make sure to have an aftercare session to establish a common emotional ground after an intense sexual encounter, your relationship will only gain in the long run.
