Discussing the RP afterward and dealing with the thoughts and feelings of my partner is a bit part of RPing with me, really.  I like to have my prey's input on the RP and how it went.  However, until now I don't think I realized just how intense it can be for my partners after an RP, as I strictly play pred.  While I can't cuddle them and provide cool-down in any physical sense (as you mentioned), I will be more conscientous of their post-RP feelings and try to provide some comfort as they come down off the emotional high of the RP.<br/><br/>Since RP is simply an exercise in imagination and cooperative storytelling, it may not be as vividly emotional to most as, say, a real-life BDSM situation, where actual pain and physical dominance are involved.  But still, that emotion<span style="font-style: italic">is</span>definitely there for a lot of RPers, and I've had some fairly intense situations myself.  I'll definitely remember to help my partners talk through things and cool down in the future.
