"Subspace" is a form of trance. Trance in its essence is a state of being, different from your "normal" state of being. During trance your mind excludes most of its input and concentrates on just one or only very few impulses, completely disregarding all others. There are many ways in which a trance can be induced. Prolonged dancing for example, or hunger, prolonged physical activity. Hypothermia, recreational drugs, high fever, lack of nutrition, dehydration AND BDSM-activity all can induce trance. Just like
repeated physical activity (such as jumping from one leg on another for a long time - a modern technique used by psychologists).
Trance is the result of hormonal activity. Hormones are substances in your body, responsible for communication between the brain and the cortex and the rest of the body ("blink your eye" is the result of a mini hormone cocktail. So is "pull muscle" or ..... "fall in love"). Everything your body does (or does not) is the result of these usually complex hormone cocktails. Hormones are being read by "receptors" and the availabilty and functionality of these 0 receptors is genetically determined. That is why a hormonal reaction is not identical in different people.
For "subspace" a group of hormones, called "peptides" is important. Peptides are amino acids. Many look like morphine and have attributes, that can be compared to morphine. And yes - although natural - they ARE (to some extent) addictive! For subspace ENDORPHINS - a group of such peptides - are an important ingredient.
