It never ceases to amaze Me how time passes when I'm having fun! :) When a scene is flowing particularly well I'd swear an evil little time pixie nips in and steals time. What seems to happen is that 2 hours feels like 30 minutes to Me, or, in My adored Twisted behaviour's{TM} opinion, about 10 minutes! This loss of time is actually caused by the release of certain chemicals during a scene, resulting in a distorted perception of elapsed time. It's one of the ways you 'know' you've approached or hit that elusive state of being known as 'space' (sub or top).
Next time you're strung up by your Dominant and it feels like you were only there for 10 minutes and you can't understand why They look to tired or why the club is closing when you "just got there"....remember to say thank you nicely to Them! After all, They just gave you the ride of your life....even if it hasn't fully registered yet! LOL! ;)
While we're on the subject, it's useful to observe that the effect is different on the Dominant person. Although They will enter a place where time may cease to be 'real', They probably wont get the full effect of those lovely chemicals until afterwards (I'm guessing that the chemical chains are different, or it's a combinational effect linked to brain activity. I can't personally comment on the actual science behind this as I've yet to unearth a study on Dominant blood chemistry during/after play). Anyway, the point is They will end up feeling light headed AFTER the scene more than during it, so make sure you to keep an eye on Them and ensure They have any food or drink They want, as well as somewhere to rest afterwards.
When I find the time pixie I'll torture the little bugger until I get the time back! I know quite a few Pixies....perhaps I should start testing them? ;)
