The D&S activity is what triggers the mental stimulation and it is the mental stimulation that transports the man to subspace. Subspace can last a few hours or it can last for weeks at a time. It depends on the trigger and the depth of that trigger. The male psyche is like an onion and it needs to be peeled back layer by layer. The deeper you go, the more potent the trigger. Once you discover these triggers, they can be touched and stimulated with the expected results. In my opinion, all men are capable of achieving subspace if they will let go and if they will surrender to a dominant woman.

Subspace is a place of absolute surrender and a place where the female rules supreme. It is a magical place within the psyche of a man where he worships a woman with his spirit. It is powerful and it is beautiful. For only a man who surrenders his will to a woman and enters the submissive zone, can fully see a woman in all her beauty and glory.

Subspace is different for each male. Every man is unique with a unique nature, a unique personality and with unique life experiences. Depending on his nature and his experiences, a man's sexuality is developed and is stored within his mind. It often takes experimentation to explore and discover exactly what will trigger a man's submissive nature. It is initially explored through the sexual but once touched and released via sexual and mental stimulation, it will cause a man to lay down his guard (his human will) and if he lets go and surrenders himself to the female, he will enter into subspace. The D&S is a merely a tool that a woman uses to explore the hidden areas of the man's mind, looking for that trigger that will cause the man to surrender his will to her. Once he does, it opens them both up to embrace their true natures.

Since the male psyche is like an onion, the deeper the dominant woman explores, the more intense the scene and the more potent the trigger.

Once a woman discovers her man’s triggers, they can be touched and stimulated with the expected results. If is it a negative trigger (childhood hurts, abuse, etc), a woman can bring healing to it through nurturing and love. The trigger remains and the woman can use it to take her submissive to subspace, thus she can turn the negative into a positive. If it is a positive trigger or a trigger with an unknown origin or quality, she can use it to her advantage to further her control and power over her submissive.
