My entire life I've had this special or odd brain ability. At any time, I can activate a part of my brain that puts me into an "orgasmic state....??" That's the closest feeling I'm aware of that resembles it. I can turn it on and completely control the intensity. I can modulate the intensity from 10% up to 90% of a real orgasm, never achieving one though. I can feel a very specific part of my brain doing it, center of forehead up to an inch behind my hair line. If I do long sessions of it, 10 seconds up to 5 minutes, that part of my brain gets tired, just like working out a muscle. As of yet, I haven't found much use for it. I don't use it often because its debilitating mentally and physically. Just like an orgasm, my muscles / body goes weak, my mind looses all ability to process anything else. At full power, the feeling is so intense my eyes start to roll back into my head. 

My stats: 

Male 
Age 25 
170 lbs 

Just looking for any input or comments.. 

Thanks in advance!!

I know that sensation and ability as well, and sorry to get all new-age and psuedoscientific on you, but I like to think of it in terms of chakras, which are really just nerve bundles associated with different networks within the brain.  It really does feel like a brain erection, and it can emanate from other locations besides the forehead, like the throat or heart or solar plexus.  It is useful for regulating mood, you can even go to trance-like states through it, and when you harmonize it with the other nerve centers you can create novel ways of expression and experience.  This effect is also talked about with the Kundalini crowd, who describe your ability as the third eye.  The third eye is often described as the pineal gland, but I think it is more useful to think of it as the prefrontal cortex, which is located exactly where you described, and which acts as the conductor to the orchestra that is the entire brain and nervous system.  When you self-stimulate like that you are making the conductor dance and wave his wand emphatically, now whether the whole orchestra is synchronized and playing with the conductor is another story.

Good lord! You ought to figure out how to teach others to do this and go on the lecture circuit and make millions. Or you could have your brain waves recorded while in this state and encoded into a hemisync CD.

Arjuna, thanks a lot for the info, will definitely check into the Kundalini. I like the explanation of stimulating the prefrontal cortex, gives it some possible science..

 

Can you describe the self-stimulate feeling? 

 

My feeling is throughout my entire body, an intense pleasure. Having the feeling coming from the brain down the body nerves makes sense, ties into above. 

 

That part of my brain feels like a normal muscle per say. It feels as if I am contracting it just like a muscle. The harder I "flex" it, the more intense the feeling.

I can do the same thing! At least I think its the same... Mine definitely doesn't feel orgasmic or really pleasurable at all but it definitely gives a wave of feeling all over my body, even feeling it a lot in my toes. It definitely feels like I'm "flexing" my brain muscle, and like you said once I do it 3 or 4 times in a row the action gets a lot more difficult, like my brain muscle is tired. I always suspected that the action was causing some gland to secrete its glandular fluid, maybe adrenaline? My heart tends to be beating harder after I do this action.

Delon, I'm starting to run across different variations of the same ability on the internet. If many people have it, perhaps everyone can do it...?   Also, there has to be some use for it.. One person having it could be an evolutionary anomaly.. But many people... there must be a valid use for it.. 

 

Thanks again, let me know if you figure anything out..

Water, after searching a bit I found a thread where people have mentioned this same ability. Not much info there but it is nice to know that there are others who can do this too. There is one guy in that post, however, who seems to be confusing our ability with the 'thunder'sound you hear when you yawn.

Similarly to OP's claim, I can force a very definite sensation of stress/hyper-vigilance, like squeezing some gland, but I don't think of it as something special. Maybe it's just lame and it's quite common/normal.

What you have stumbled into are self-induced seizures in the nucleus accumbens, the main pleasure center in the brain i.e. how to get meth high the legal way. The problem is, as with taking meth, that overindulging will result in damages to your dopaminergic system, sapping over time your motivation and ability to enjoy anything. Besides cautionary advice from kundalini and qiquong practitioners who have extensively explored and used these phenomena for spiritual development over many centuries, you may also find useful some safety tips in the Ten Commandments of Amphetamine Use.

^I really don't think that's correct.

Water, try doing this a lot when you are laying in bed right before you fall asleep. For me, it induces way more dreams than usual, and I can recall them clearly the next morning. Maybe this could help to induce lucid dreaming?

The only thing what pops in my mind is: clomipramine induced orgasm by yawning

Only 5% experience this, though

Delon, I think your your on to something. I had the same thought, but I haven't been able to conclude it. I'll try it out... (As pertaining to the dreaming aspect. I actually think he's got the scientific explanation almost to a T...)

 

 I made some progress the last few days understanding it however. Here's my latest:

 

I've been gorging on pineal gland info and "activating it" through meditation, chants, chakras etc. I've concluded the feeling to be separate of any of these type of events or actions. Here's how:

I've never been willing to try real meditation, until a couple days ago (maybe even yesterday..?). Real meditation as in, being in one of the disconnected states of mind before falling asleep. When you can feel the disconnect between your body and mind and control it there. I was able to stay in this state long enough to experience the other energies that people talk about, shooting through your spine and different parts of your body, my body had even felt a soreness unknown to me afterwards. I had finally experienced what real meditation was, and it was fucking awesome. 

Here's the kicker, I was able to induce this "orgasmic" feeling as described through the same manual means through the entire process, however it was completely separate of these other "energy feelings" that were completely new to me. I noticed that I didn't want to take it past 20% or so, it started to draw too much of my attention and was pulling me out of the state I was in. But the two (2) feelings were definitely  separate, just different energies. Throughout the meditation I was able to control my "orgasmic" feeling, but not the other energies I was experiencing. They seem to have been happening at random, or at least out of my current control. 

Anyone that wants to argue what the feeling I can produce, among many others, is some psychological creation or issue, let me help your ignorance... Its just electricity / chemical secretions being produced on demand by the prefrontal cortex, which in turn is stimulating the nucleus accumbens, the best explanation I've come across. Go Science. I will note, that "chill" described in here "http://www.bibliotec...ia_thirdeye.htm" is different then the "orgasm feeling" or meditative energy feelings. I experience this chill when something resonates with me, I read something, hear something, experience something that gives me an answer or guidance per say. But again, different. 

To get this out of the way, I don't believe in God, spirits, souls, what have you.. Although I have heard countless stories of such experiences, I have yet to experience one, so these subjects have no place in my web of logic, yet....

I'll be the first to admit, Anything is Possible....

Awesome! It just occurred to me, the "orgasmic" feeling is extremely close to the pleasure sensation when attempting to fall into meditation. When it was happening, a very similar surge went across my body (identical maybe?) as I was getting into the trance / self hypnosis state of mind, whatever its called... But it would only only be momentarily, after the feeling went away, I was noticeably deeper into the "trance / meditation"...? I apologize for lacking correct terms. This meditation bit is all new to me...

Is this similar to the "ASMR" feeling as described by some people as some kind of warm feeling that travels throughout your body using a trigger of some sort?

Bingo, credit goes to btnngo.. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. 

 

I am a Type A ASMR.

 

I love the internet. 

 

Thank you everyone, it was a wonderful journey...

I'm Type A as well :) can you manage to do it while walking? How do you personally activate the feeling?

 

Mine seems to be based on a certain breathing pattern.. I can inhale slowly and feel some kind of energy collect in the back of my neck, surrounding my head. Then exhaling makes the feeling rush through my body as my muscles relax. The best I can compare it to is a feeling of bliss/content and warmth, like a cozy blanket on a cold day. Interestingly enough, it can also ward off sleep deprivation for me as well, but just for a few hours.

 

To clarify, Type A is people who can do it willingly, and Type B is people who require an external trigger. If you're Type A, you already know the feeling and can reproduce it at will. If you're Type B.... you usually have to find a specific stimuli that brings out the feeling (can vary from crumpling paper to soft whispers). Reddit has useful ASMR videos and such that can help you determine if you're a Type B. 

Overall though, it still hasn't been studied much... hopefully someone can take a Type A and put them under an MRI scanner or something.. research has been stalling for a while.

I can't do it while walking, perhaps because I haven't practiced it.. Although standing still I can do it.

 

I just turn it on, feels like I'm flexing it, just like any muscle in the body. The wiki quote couldn't be more accurate:

 

"He also suggests the possibility of ASMR being a type of pleasurable seizure or another way to activate the pleasure response."

 

As I've described previously in the thread, I can put my self right into a full seizure, induced by pleasure... What a weird reality....

So.. I think I stumbled upon something interesting just now. 

 

I actually typed up quite a bit in a new post, but my browser crashed on me, so I'll be retyping and posting it later today

 

There seems to be relation between ASMR, goosebumps, and frisson/cold chills.... I'll explain in much more detail when I can type up the full post

Interesting... sometimes when I do back-bends during my yoga routine - come to think of it its actually been happening increasingly frequently - I get a similar sensation of lightheadedness that (depending on the intensity) can border on psychedelia, or an experience that seems almost transcendent in nature. It usually lasts around 5 seconds tops, but i generally lose all specific associations with the world around me and feel that i'm in a somehow different headspace than I was prior to the experience when it comes to an end. Pretty baffling. I assume i has something to do with nerve clusters that are getting hit when i do the back bend in just such a way? Or a glandular thing like others were saying?

So, this is the stuff that I meant to post last night but couldn't since my computer glitched up on me:

 

Background info:

 

What are goosebumps?

 

They are small bumps formed on the skin in response to cold or strong emotion (primary emotions include fear and euphoria). The hairs on the skin stand up as a result. Many believe it to be a vestigial reflex, and thus call it the pilomotor reflex. 

 

What causes goosebumps?

 

In my research, I have found three things that trigger goosebumps: Temperature, Frisson/Cold Chills, and ASMR

 

Temperature - Goosebumps form on the skin when the surrounding environment is cold, and is usually formed in conjunction with shivering (muscle contractions). Involuntary.

Frisson/Cold Chills - Also called thrills, these are described as a tingly feeling of excitement, and usually produce goosebumps & are followed by a cold sensation. These are felt during times of strong emotion (such as when you're listening to a great piece of music and you feel good about yourself). It triggers the release of dopamine and norepinephrine, both of which can cause vasoconstriction (feeling of coldness), and muscle excitement. Goosebumps are also formed during this experience. The duration is usually for 3-5 seconds, but can last up to a minute depending on the person. It is involuntary in nature. 

ASMR - .The warm feeling that rushes through your body after a specific trigger occurs. Type A individuals do not need a trigger to produce this sensation. Type B individuals have to experience a specific trigger (such as crumpling paper, the sound of writing, soft voices, etc.) to cause ASMR. Goosebumps are also formed during this time (Type A individuals may attempt observation of the formation of goosebumps using the method I will outline at the bottom of this post). In addition, varying "strengths" of ASMR may cause different amounts of goosebumps to form (Strongest feeling  = most goosebumps, mild ASMR  = few goosebumps). Voluntary in Type A, and involuntary in Type B. Duration is usually as long as the trigger is produced. 

 

Additionally, although people describe ASMR as a brain orgasm, ASMR cannot be compared to a sexual climax. It is a completely different feeling. If I were to describe it, it's as if someone poured warm water all over my body as all my muscles relax.

 

Hypotheses:

 

- Since goosebumps can be controlled by Type A ASMR people, it isn't an involuntary reflex. OR the ASMR somehow connects to the Autonomic Nervous System, triggering goosebumps

 

- ASMR is simply the 'warm' version of frisson - it may be caused by opiate/histamine(and other related compounds) release instead of dopamine and norepinephrine

 

Observing goosebumps:

 

I set up this trial so that goosebumps are more visible by looking at the shadows produced by the bumps instead of whether the hair was raised or not. If you have excess forearm hair, this experiment may not work for you.

 

1. Get a desk lamp. A warm (yellow/orange) colored light will work the best.

2. Turn off all the lights and turn on the desk lamp.

3. Place forearm on table with palm facing up. 

4. Position the desk lamp at a 30 or so degree angle in order to cast small shadows on your skin. Basically, make it so that you can see the crevices and such in your skin that isn't normally visible.

5. Observe the skin and attempt to remember what it looks like before goosebumps.

6. Trigger ASMR (type A can do it easily, type B.. it would be best to have the trigger loaded on your computer beforehand)

7. Observe for changes in the skin. If you positioned the lamp right, each new goosebump should be visible because small shadows will be produced on the skin.

8. For type A, who can vary the ASMR: Repeat steps 6&7 with weak ASMR and strong ASMR to see differences in goosebumps.

9. Type A individuals can also try to shift where the ASMR is felt (i.e. make the asmr stronger in one arm than the the other arm, and observe differences), to see if goosebump formation can be manipulated.

 

------

 

Well, all in all, I'm not a scientist and this is just a hypothesis I came up with based on my own observations.

Just to get the terminology straight:

 

What you are describing is a trance state.

 

"Meditation" is simply the practice of not thinking, and thereby noticing that your awareness exists even when you are not thinking, and then focusing on that awareness.
