We always have a debriefing after intense sessions like that, and after the breath play He asked me to describe in as much detail as I could what goes on in my head when I "go someplace else" like that. I told Him it is like standing at the end of a long hallway with many open doors along each side and one at the end. Beyond each doorway there is something different going on: a different thought or sensation or impression. As I begin to focus on His voice, or on the pain or the pleasure; it's as if He is closing the doors in this hallway one by one. As each door closes the sound and the movement behind it cease and my focus zeros in on the one, last, remaining door at the end of the hallway until what is beyond it is all I can see and hear. As each other door closes, what lies directly in front of me becomes louder and brighter and more intense. That place at the end of that hallway, that's what subspace is for me. Pain coupled with J's voice will take me there the most quickly, breath play apparently gets the job done as well, but He can also take me there through nothing but words and the pleasure of His hands on me.

Get there via whatever route you choose, but for me the destination is still subspace.
I really liked the way you explained this, I will use this in the future!
