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.

More 'worldly'

i have always described it as fireworks. Maybe it's not quite the same as I just see a mess of colours no shapes or pictures.

I don't see colours but I do black out and lose all sense of sound and vision. Apparently I can be quite loud when this happens I'm not in control or aware of it at all.

And yes I also had a similar experience during labour and also there made noises I'd never made before or since and was only vaguely aware I was doing it - very strange.

It is exactly like going to another place. Sometimes it takes me a while to get reorientated afterwards and often I feel a little bit seasick.

I get something similar to this although usually I get like a sort of white sheet across my vision (rather than colours or darkening as others have described) and I also get the loss of hearing - to me it's like the same thing as when you put your head under water: all the sounds are muffled and distorted and you can hear your heart beating in your eardrums.

I have also had random visions of things but like a dream, I can't remember any clearly now.

It doesn't happen every time. I think it's when the build up has been particularly long.

Not only is this fascinating reading but I'm immensely chuffed that there are plenty of us out there enjoying orgasms!

I thought everyone did!

Really sadly not Dame

grundy not my face but I get pins and needles in my feet!!

I sometimes get 'weird eyes'. Just like flashing, really

Yes I get this! Different images and colours every time. Hubby thinks I'm nuts too
It's all part of the pleasure tho. It's never worried me
I'm not synaesthetic generally
I do get migraines tho, wonder if there's a connection there?
