WEIRD SENSATION FEELS GOOD

i get this sensation sometimes. theres no real trigger for it. it just happenes randomly. its been happening since i was a kid and i'm 21 now. some examples of what it seems has caused it to happen before are as a child while watching a puppet show and when i was being read a story to. as a teenager when a classmate did me a favor and when a friend drew on the palm of my hand with markers. sometimes it happens for no reason at all that i can tell, though. i'll just be sitting or whatever doing whatever and it happens. its like in my head and all over my body. if i get an itch when i'm experiencing the sensation i won't scratch it cause the itch helps intensify it. i also like to trace my fingers along my skin because it feels good when experiencing the sensation. sometimes my eyes will water. when the sensation is over i will sometimes feel nauseous, but not that bad. just a slight hint of nausea. what is it?? i'm not complaining cause i love it, but i'm just wondering what it might be... help.

I think I know what you may be talking about. I was looking for an answer to a similar question when I found your post. Since I was a child I got this strange sensation in my head. It happens to me, I discovered, when certain people talk, especially when they talk slowly, or when people move slowly, or when even sometimes someone is driving slowly. It seems to happen more around older people who seem to have few cares. I love the feeling, but I have not found anyone else who has experienced it. It is like this tingling in my scalp. The only way I can discribe it is like a silvery sparkle through my head and brain... almost like a sort of head orgasm, but there is nothing sexual about it. I've found I can have that feeling when listening to guided meditation tapes and I have trained myself to let it happen more, though I find I have to take breaks between voices because they lose the ability to give me the feeling after a while. What is this? Is this the same feeling you were describing?

This happens to me too. I've never been able to find a name for it.. or ever met anyone else who has had an even somewhat similar experience. I would appreciate it if anyone who see's this tries to give me an explanation or somewhere to go to find more information on this sensation. Also it is like bean487 said, a 'tingling in my scalp' and it does happen more often when talking to elderly people. It is really weird, but VERY enjoyable. Thanks in advance for any help. Smile

Yes!

I get this too; I have no idea what it is or what causes it.
It's like this strange ...well, you guys said it already, head orgasm. It usually only lasts for a few minutes, and as far as I know no residual after effects.

I wonder what the hell it is. It feels damn good, but could it be something damaging?

I'll chime in here as another person that experiences this. It almost feels like getting goose bumps all around my scalp. The tingling sensation fades in and out in waves of heightened intensity. Aside from an actual orgasm, it's probably the most enjoyable sensation possible.

It is generally triggered when other people near me are paying close attention to a task. Examples of this include: filling out a form, drawing a picture, fixing a small device, playing a game, etc. I have no idea why these things cause it or what is actually happening physiologically to me, but it feels amazing.

I don't experience the nausea reported by the other poster.

If anyone knows anything about this, I would love to finally understand this.

I'm glad to see that some other people also experience this. I've tried google'ing tons of different keywords that relate to this but I haven't had any luck other than getting this same link tons of times, lol. PLEASE, if ANYONE knows any information on this thing, pleaseeee reply. For the time being I'm going to call it WHS meaning Weird Head Sensation, haha. Smile

P.S.- WHS hasn't happened to me in quite a while no matter how hard I try to trigger it.. it's as if now that I know other people experience it, it doesn't happen to me nearly as often. Sad

Hi All,

I have had this "Attention Induced Head Orgasm" (AIHO) for as long as I can remember. I got it once really good when I was getting knobbed but I think it was the attention that mattered not the sexual stuff. I think I get his when someone is paying direct attention to me. I have not noticed a correlation with it being from older people, but come to think of it I do not think it has ever happened from being around a kid.

I just had it happen when reading an email from a friend who has a yoga/wellnes center. He has helped me in the past with direct attention so this was really weird to get it from reading the email. The email was not even to me, just a braodcast about his wellness business. I would love to know how to make this happen more often.

In Serach of AIHO!

Hey, I've been googling more stuff (lol) and I think maybe I might have narcolepsy.. I'm not sure if AIHO is related to it or if other people who experience AIHO have narcolepsy or vice versa. If anyone knows a proper term for AIHO please reply.

I experience all of this... the tingling, the euphoria, etc.

It is when people are talking about nothing to each other, tinkering with something intently, or talking on the phone sometimes. I even had the feeling once when someone was talking to me quietly. I told my wife about it and I think she thought some guy was making me feel "hot".

Smile

I have been classified with Narcolepsy though. sleep tests and all!

Finding people who experience this sensation are certainly hard to find. I did actually come across an analysis of this 'condition' a few years ago. It even had a name but darned if I can find the article again.
Most of the sensations described above match what I've felt but the artical also mentioned that it is not usually experienced around people well known like family members and close friends. Also, either gender can set the feeling off.
Personally, watching someone up close while they concentrate on a task is what does it for me. The last time it happened was when I was watching 'Seven Years in Tibet' and the Tibetan girl was measuring up Brad Pitt up for a suit. A scene with close up shots and quiet talk which caught every inflection in the voice.
