Is it hard or odd to switch from a sunspace/in-the-scene mindset to normal? I’ve never been in one that was very intense, but still, leaving it is a bit jarring still. Especially since my partner is generally out of the scene sooner than I am.

Absolutely. I need my scenes to “wind down” so I can get out of that headspaces safely and smoothly. If they end abruptly for whatever reason, then I need like much more aftercare and it takes me a while to “come back.”
