To think it’s not just me who gets a weird Fanjo feeling

[Ahardyfool]

My daughter just showed me where she cut herself shaving in the shower last night. She came downstairs yesterday and announced that she’d caused the bathroom to look “a bit like a crime scene” and this also brought on the same bodily response. When she showed me her wound just now it happened again.
DD noticed my reaction and claimed to know what I was experiencing.
we both describe it as a bit like when you go over one of those bumps in the road that make your tummy somersault briefly…except this is felt in the vagina region.
Why the hell would that happen? Does anyone else experience this? Is it our cervix clamping shut in some kind of anti preocreative response to danger - albeit a bit OTT a response?

Yes I definitely get this and have seen it mentioned on here now and again over the years. It's very weird but obviously'a thing'.

Yes! The first time I experienced it was at the top of Blackpool Tower 🤣

Me too!!! Especially when I'm imagining something that causes pain OR if I hear a really loud, sudden noise.

My feet also 'panic' when I see or visualise a slippy floor, especially if I'm just in socks. Like a tingly sweaty clenchy sensation that makes me feel frightened. Anyone else get something like that?

I get exactly this over heights/tall buildings. Instant sensation in my pelvic area.

Perfect! 👌

Exactly this! I was just thinking the worst time I ever had it was at Blackpool tower and my son and grandkids trying to coax me onto that glass panel of floor! I couldn’t say to them this is seriously affecting my fanny 😳

I thought this was going to be about fanny daggers! (Javelin arse but in the vag)
I get this feeling in my tummy but never noticed it in the fanny region!!! I only started getting it in the last year or so after being more stressed in general. Next time I get it I will see if I notice it down below. Maybe my sad perimenopausal muff has just given up and lost all sensation?!

Oh I totally get the javelin butt, fanny dagger but nothing remotely nice like the gallops, not even when looking at sexy DH or being dangled off high ropes. It must be dead or something.

Being male..I call it ball shrinking...that feeling you get when some other man gets clattered in the knackers and yours shrink up to climb inside

As pp have said, fanny gallops are delightful.

I get minge cringe in association with feelings of disgust/fear

OMG me and my young daughter both get this- I
mosly get it when I feel my kids are in danger such as climbing up high or if I’m near a steep drop high up. We call it fizzy minnie! I’m really surprised others get this it must be an evolutionary thing around possible risk

Yes! I only get it when it's to do with someone else's injuries! How odd.

This is hilarious. I do not experience this but curious others do

I was so grateful when on a similar thread a few years ago, another MNer described this phenomenon. Until then I thought I was just a weirdo. The relief was so great, I even remember her username.

Yes, I get this too.

Yes, YES.

never had a name for it but I FEEL it!

I get such sensations in my knees. As does DD1, suggesting some heritable neuropathy. Aren't humans fascinating?

Yes me too! I always thought I was a weirdo!

Not neuropathy- neuroanatomy

Javelin Arse is Bum Shoots in my house!

Yes, I get it in my coccyx too!

I also get it in my coccyx!

Oh, I get the heebie jeebies in my feet too sometimes!

Never experienced javelin arse though.

You're not alone
I got the same feeling when my dog was neutered and I checked her wound which was weird. Perhaps it's because we are both female? 🤔
