Ballbusting is an intense and emotional experience for both the sub being busted and the dom, providing some sort of safe come down is essential.
Aftercare, in the BDSM world, is a period of rest and recovery following an intense play session, it's a time where the dominant partner (or top) cares for their submissive.
Any kind of impact play, such as ballbusting, can be painful, physically challenging, exhausting and potentially damaging for the sub. Once the dom has taken a sub to his limit, he may be left with so much adrenaline and endorphins pumping around his body that simply getting dress and going on with his life could be more damaging that the busting itself.
Failure to provide aftercare can result in sub drop, a crash back to reality. In a similar way that a body crashes after a sugar rush, alcohol or caffeine. For some it can be like an epic hangover and leave the sub feeling depressed and lethargic. In extreme cases it can lead to depression or flu-like symptoms.
Aftercare can typically include cuddling, hugs, closeness, a massage or intimacy, a soothing way of calming him down both emotionally and physically.
After ballbusting a slave, there are few things specific things which might help him safely come down. His balls maybe swollen, cup them, gently rub some lotion in. You may also want to check for any skin damage to the scrotum or swelling of the testicles. If you notice anything unusual then kept in contact with the sub for the next few hours or days.
Give him some water or a hot drink. Telling a sub how he served you well and took his punishment well may also relax his mental, submissive state and bring him back to reality.
It's normal for the sub to experience aching balls for as long as 24 hours after a session, this should be treated as part of his come down period.
You could also advice the sub to reward himself for taking his punishment like a good boy during this period. He might like to treat himself with a beer, a long deep bath or an early night.
One of the most important things you can do after a session is talk. Communications is always the most important part of any relationship, especially a dominant/submissive one and a debriefing and talking about the shared experience is important following any emotional high.
This is the perfect time for a sub to be able to talk to his top on a level, talk about the limits they have established, whether the dom can push him further or not in future.
