Frenzy
Community slang for the urge to try everything at once that often follows discovering rope or kink, a stage in which judgment weakens and people take on more risk.
Frenzy is the rush to do everything, immediately, that often comes with discovering shibari or kink. Anatomie Studio describes it as a stage in which judgment weakens and people accept more risk out of a desperate fear of missing out, notes that it is hard to recognize from the inside, and suggests a trusted circle of friends or peers who can look over decisions without judging. In a 2015 guest post, Mistress Steel describes “submissive frenzy” as an escalating sense of need, which she likens to withdrawal, that can make newcomers, and experienced people after a relationship ends, impulsive and easy to sway. She advises partners to assume that judgment may be impaired.
