Well, the very few times that it happened, it appears that frame of mind "before" the scene played a big part. Each time, I had been upset or stressed before the scene... each time, it was the "stingy" toys that led to this (rubber floggers, violet wand) and each time it seemed that I would seem to be getting "right" to subsapce, then bam! stiffen up. Looking back at those times afterward (and over the years), I now realize I was going back mentally to certian bad times in my life, instead of where I go while in subspace. My best suggestion to avoid this is to know your and your partners complete past, even the small details, and to make sure the mindset is relaxed and at ease BEFORE starting a scene. Just to clarify, a scene can and does start long before one is strapped to a cross.
