Hmmm... I would say for mental health reasons, a 24/7 sub should get breaks every six months or a year for a day or more. Not because the relationship itself is unhealthy but because lack of social time can cause a lot of issues, and also to avoid the subs identity (or the doms for that matter) becoming dependant on theirpartner...
And thank you, Knots. You semi answered my question. Uh, is there a lot of hugging/kissing/cuddling involved? That's more if what I was looking for by saying vanilla affection. (In describing how my bf wanted me to dominate him, he asked I do not kiss him- a lot different tham our day to day interactions... Liking a really affectionate dom I had not realized a lot of subs don't get kissed.)
You can't really have a "break" in the sense you've just spoken about, even if you suspend D/s interactions. That's like a married couple pretending they aren't married for a day; they are really, they're just pretending. You can however, introduce safeguards which make sure the slave's mental health is secured (such as how Sebastian suggested earlier).
In a 24/7 relationship, being dependent on your dominant is often quite important; indeed, in all pernament relationships, your identity becomes intertwined with your partner's to some extent.
Yes, lots of slaves have "harsh dominants" This is exactly how it works and exactly what some people wan but this doesn't mean it's necessarily what *you* want, and there is no right way to do it outside of what works in the individual dynamic. Many people who scene (I.E. "I'm only a sub in the bedroom") do suspend "affection" until after-care.
P.S. For us, it depends. Sometimes yes, other times no.
