I’m beginning to get somewhat angsty and to crave human contact. Preferably of the painful kind. That’s strange for me, as I’m generally a very self-contained person and independent person. Yet right now I’d love to be hugged, bitten, pinched and sat upon. I mean those are always fun things, but I don’t typically crave them in the same way I do right now.
It’s a bit odd because I’ve had longer breaks before for a variety of reasons and I don’t remember being this desperate for punishment then. I think that it’s because this is an enforced break not a voluntary one that we become more needy. I can imagine queues at dungeons and similar premises when this ends.
I think that’s very much the case. I’ve also had longer breaks, but then it felt natural for me. As you say, this is an enforced one.
I’d suspect that stress, uncertainty and social isolation also plays a role. It’s a weird situation where the uncertainty is increased, general social contact is reduced, and kinky play to let off steam isn’t an option (for a lot of people). Hopefully the dungeons will all still exist by the time we come out the far side…

It is a worry that dungeons and Mistresses may go out of business because of an enforced closure. Obviously this is also true about a number of other establishments and I think when this does finally end we will see a lot of changes.
I think it’s very dependent on what ‘ending’ means. Surviving a bad situation for a couple of months is one thing. It’ll be quite another if this drags on for 6+ months.
Although I do suspect when restrictions are relaxed, pro-dommes and dungeon space will be in high demand. I can make drinks, cook dinner and watch movies at home for as long as it takes. Hot kinky fun is harder to come by.
