A sub is like a priceless work of art that was painted just for me. A piece of my property esteemed in my heart beyond any other I might possess. Any care this property requires to maintain, I will give. That doesn't make me a bad Dom. I wouldn't leave a needful sub in the aftermath of a session any more than a museum curator would leave the Venus de Milo out in the rain.

The exception to this is when abandonment might be part of the kink. The feeling of being left abruptly in the wake of an encounter might stir up erotic feelings of humiliation and degradation in the sub- the idea that she was used and thrown aside like a condom. If this is part of the game, aftercare is no longer a need- in fact, it's contrary to one.
