      Some of the things that I have noticed within myself that relate to top drop are usually after very intense scenes or after multiple scenes in one night.

      What isn’t discussed much is the subject of top drop, which doesn't usually manifest itself as visually as crying, but commonly involves feelings of emptiness and being alone. Tops and Dominants don’t usually discuss it because, hey, we're always in control—right?—but just as submissives need us, we need others for support as well.
    • 2019, Natasha Strange, chapter 4, in Kinky Sex Tips For Curious Girls: A BDSM Activity Book For Beginners, page 93:
      People experience sub and top drop differently, and some don't experience it at all. Some people experience it immediately, and some don't experience it until a day or two later, which can make it hard to pinpoint why, all of a sudden, you are feeling melancholy.
