THATS what I'd like to see a scan of. it feels so different than just orgasm. but... you know.... "no comment".
What's a subspace orgasm? :)
whether because of pain, or drugs, or deep meditation, there is a place that the mind slips into that is often a launching point for mysticism. Some people have compared the feelings that a sub in a BDSM scene recieves creates that same "space".
"Some people" eh? Don't tell me you're still hiding in the closet when we could be turning this place into PervWiki. :P
If you'll allow me to speculate for a moment, I think it's all related to what the Buddhists call anatman (or the "not self"), the now-trendy psych concept of flow, or, in plainer English, what drugged-up hippies call ego death. Having tried all those experiences myself, they are all different of course, but similar in the way they are based on the destruction of the "self."
The thing about mystical experinces (induced pain, ehm, included) is that no matter what religion the person stems from, or what they did to get into that state, they all describe the same damn thing; "near death" shares that experience as well. "ego death" sure describes what I've felt on peyote, or on "vision quest" (i wish i could say anything less "new agey" there...). I've never actually been in real subspace. the pain part is not enough my thing to get there. but yes, i'm my own little (or big, as the physical case is) perv. ;-)
