So, when I have an orgasm...

[phoenixrose314]

... I see colours, patterns and shapes. Having never spoken about this to anybody before, I assumed it was a completely normal part of the experience.

I mentioned it to my DH in bed the after night (after a particularly vibrant orgasm in purples and silver, in the shape of leaves) and he tells me that he has no idea what I'm talking about. I assume it's a woman thing, so I ask my sister, and.... nope. Definitely not. Just me.

Is there anyone else out there that has this?? It's different every time... the first time I ever had an orgasm it was literally like seeing the night sky, like being catapulted into the stars, it was amazing! Sometimes I see waves in green and blue, sometimes it's white or yellow and very intense - this all seemed SO normal to me up until right now!!

Is there anybody out there who can make me feel less weird about this?? Feeling like a total nutter.

Ooh me too!

I see mainly colours and patterns but sometimes landscapes, and once a green room full of wooden tables and chairs

Most I get is a blinding headache if it's particularly powerful. Yours sounds more fun

Evening folks! We're going to move this over to our Sex topic in just a moment.

I get a version of this sometimes if I am v relaxed, only my version is kind of like being in large 3d spaces if that makes any sense at all...?

I'm not usually very capable of coherent thought at that point. I don't think I get coloured lights, but I realise I don't know, because I can't remember the event so much as how I feel right after (and leading up to it.)

Yep, I get colours too. Don't think I had it during labour though.

Oh wow WhoreGasm - I thought I was the only one who (sometimes) goes deaf! It's a tricky one to explain, alright. Wonder what on earth causes it?

Gasm elephants Deaf? deaf? and I thought masturbation was only meant to make you go blind

Have experienced many orgasms in my lifetime but not any of the inducing colours/deafness variety. Snot fair. Maybe that's why youhave fireworks go off in all the movies.
I did ejaculate once though, does that count?!

feel like I'm missing out...

this has happened to me once. i see colours.

love of life blah blah blah....never happened before him or since him. my Os were in colour - not fifty shades of grey.

pink.
blue.
white.

I have definitely had this, the last time was like being lost in a forest of trees with silvery glowing leaves, was amazing. I told my dp but he just looked at me like I was strange. I don't get it very often though.

I'm a synthaesthete and I get colours for numbers, dates, letters (as well as weird spatial arrangements) but not for orgasm - I'm fascinated though because the way I perceive orgasm rarely sounds like how it's written and I wondered if this was why!

Waves to Whoregasm and Elephants I go deaf too!!!! Only when it's a really intense orgasm, it's a bit like when my ears pop on a plane.

OP, you shouldn't feel like a nutter, it sounds amazing. Lucky you.

No one else gets the itchy face though?

Sounds amazing....I see a lot of red but always assumed it was blood flow to my eyelids squeezed shut (attractive)

In my head I see a little steam train puffing up a hill, I think because I read the little engine that could once. So in the build up of waves I see it get to the top, then kind of race to the bottom with the waves of orgasm.

I experience multiple orgasms, colours would be great in that sense, like a disco.

When I do have a prolonged series of orgasms the after effect is exactly the feeling of having had morphine in hospital, I can feel cold numbness coarsing through my veins, while I lie there, useless and half conscious.

Best I could describe it as being immersed very pleasantly into a honey like texture but more of an orange colour.

Sort of, like watching a US 70's film?

I see red, no other colours and it's generally a flame-type effect. I want other colours too now! As PPs have said, it comes with the best orgasms like last night

I mentioned this to DP, and asked if could arrange it for me.
He tried, he really did try, but I got nothing visual at all.
Really jealous and a bit sore now.

Ooh Wally! Another person who gets little mental images. I too have tried to describe it to ex-P (he was very good) and he also thought I was nuts but was very pleased for me. Steam train is very cute. It's almost like I'm concentrating so hard/so overwhelmed that my brain goes on a bit of a holiday...

I dont' have synaesthesia in general though! And I do also get the random little scenes, really weird.

Glad I'm not the only one who goes a bit deaf. Wonder why that is? Does your vision go really dark and shadowy too?

My lips really swell and go red too and I get a deep pink blush across my chest and throat which lasts for about half an hour.

I look so obviously like I've just been shagged senseless. Embarrassing. Especially now DD is going into her teens and will start to make a few guesses. Cringe.

You're right. It's all about technique, and I've always given DP 100% for quality of service. I never thought it could get any better, but having read this I really think I'm missing something. :)

It's all down to technique and perfect timing. I actually find endlessly banging away quite tedious and makes my legs ache getting old

DH and I met at university and he'd barely so much as sniffed a girl before I got my hot little hands on him (went to an all boys school).

I was older and slightly more wordly (ahem).

So I trained him from scratch and he proved rather talented I must say. The end results were very impressive [proud]
