I'm a 34 yr old female.  I've recently had sex with new partners following my divorce.  I've been with this one guy 4 times now, and the past two times I experienced the hands and facial numbness too.  It really freaked me out.  It happened during oral sex and fingering while I was on my back.  My hands and forearms felt as if I had been sleeping on them, and the whole bottom half of my face was tingly and numb.  It took several minutes before I could even open my mouth.  There was no pain.  The first time I wasn't able to orgasm because I was too freaked out.  The second time I did orgasm but it still freaked me out.  It's never happened to me before with any other guys I've been with (including my ex-husband).  Has anyone talked to a doctor about it and actually gotten some possible medical explanations?  I'm just wondering if he somehow caused a nerve to get pinched while he was maneuvering his hands?  IDK and I don't like it.

I recently had my virginity taken and as some people said,I was on my back and received oral before intercourse,and when my orgasm came I experienced numbness in my feet and my hands locked up in a clawing position. I had to make my boyfriend stop because we were both freaking out when I told him I wasn't able to move my hands. I had to look this up. Thankyou for posting,I'm not so scared about it now.

I am a 16 year old female:
Today I had sex with my boyfriend for the second time. The first time we were on a bed and I could feel a numbness in my cheeks, but nothing as crazy as today! Today we had intercourse on the floor (a hard, thin carpet). Although i wasn't receiving oral, I experienced the same feelings. Once things got pretty hot-and-heavy, my face started to feel really numb and it was hard to show facial emotions because my mouth was so awkward feeling. It felt like my chin and lips were locked into place and were shaking alot, like I was shivering but I couldnt control it. Along with this, my right hand was locked into a crab-like position and I couldn't move my fingers for at least 10-15 minutes after we were finished. I was a little bit weirded out and my attention from the sex was taken away because my hands were so locked up. I don't understand why this happens but i'm definitely happy that other women have experienced this. I am kind of tempted to ask my doctor about it because it was really strange. At first I thought it was just because I was having an overly extreme orgasm, only being my second time with intercourse, but now I'm curious as to why this happens to so many people!

I lost my virginity when I was 14. And have had 8 different sexual partners. But I have recently started dating a girl after being single for the better part of 6 months. The other night, she was giving me road head and after I came I got the tingling in my lips and arms and I had to pull over because I had trouble driving. Tonight, she was giving me oral and I started to get the tingling feeling. This time I didn't cum, and I had to make her stop because my whole body went numb and I couldn't breathe. And now that I look back, I was breathing very heavily. I feel like the main source of this is irregular breathing. And since I haven't had a partner in a long time, it would make sense for me to not be used to it.

This is very normal, I find this type of orgasm happens more during oral sex.. I cant move my hands, and once I reach a point where I dont think I can take anymore I have to sit up because I cant grab my guy to make him stop (because I cant move my fingers), I have to lay there motionless for a very long time. Some call this 'floating' and I have been told that if you keep going when you have this feeling your body will have a new kind of orgasm. Hope this helps! I know its uncomfortable but if you tell your partner 'I feel like I'm floating, and so overwhelmed I cant move' I think he will understand and love that he/she caused it.

A few months ago I was Skyping with my boyfriend and he lowered the camera and didn't pull his penis out but was moving it under his boxers and we were telling each other what we wanted to do with each other and this went on for about an hour and I was so embarrassed but I had to ask to stop because my entire face went completely numb and I was getting extremely lightheaded. I was a virgin but when he came home about a week later we had sex and I guess I thought that the numbing and lightheadedness was a one time thing but it happened again and I had to ask him to stop because I was extremely uncomfortable and I don't know what to do is this normal or should I be concerned? Will this discontinue over time??

I CAN TELL YOU ALL WHY THIS HAPPENS! iT IS NORMAL DO NOT WORRY!!

I too get it the same sometimes, to the point where my hands are locked into a claw, and all the way up to my elbows I'm completly paralysed, with the same in my face as well. I feel like I'm pulling a stupid face but can't stop, and can't talk properly either. This is why the french refer to an orgasm as 'le petit mort' or 'the little death' due to this being almost like rigamortis! The reasons this happens is that, during a clitoral stimulated orgasm (hence why usually experienced when receiving oral), the stimulation along with the hyperventalating causes a huge release of oxytocin (the involvement of hyperventilation is why the numb hands can also occur during fainting/dizzy spells or acute illness like severe vomiting). This literally saturates the nerves in the extremeties (hence in your fingers and hands and face, and also feet for some people) causing your muscles to contract constantly, hence the paralysis. It can take quite a while for all of the oxitocin to be used up, hence you can stay paralysed for quite a while after stopping sex! I hope this helps some of you now that you know WHY it happens. The first time this happened to me I had no idea what was going on and was really scarred, and also very embarresed! But this happened last night with a new partner, and I was able to reassure him of what was happening. He seemed rather smug when he realised it meant he was doing really well, so I think knowing why this happens will help a lot of you feel less self concious about it, and help you to enjoy it!!

Yeah my wife has been experiencing this too after multiple orgasms, usually after 25-30 orgasms she starts getting numb all over. But last time it didn't happen that soon, it was after 60 or 70 orgasms. Since she usually has 150-200 orgasms this is putting a real damper on our sex life.

Ive been experiencing sevier numbness on the hand ive been using to masturbate everytime, both right and left even before I ejaculate, and it just recently started about 1 month ago, this raises concerns as to weather or not this raises a serious concern if it is normal or not however after reading many posts ive come into similarities with everyone saying that they have been feeling this numbness while lying down on their back, and lack of blood flow or circulation of the body can cause thus numbness similair to when experiencing this as we say for example we sit down in the same place for soo long we feel numb..

Thanks for the posts everyone...

i get this when receiving oral and I love it! Happens a long time before I come but lasts for maybe 10-15 minutes after. And I feel a bit like when I used to smoke weed. So very likely a chemical rush in the brain! Enjoy it!

I get this during oral sometimes. My hands and face will begin tingling and get more and more intense, and eventually my hands will get stiff and i will not be able to open my fists. It is a result of hyperventilation which sometimes you don't realize you're doing while you are so focused on the pleasure. I used to have severe panic attacks and the same thing would happen. I was sent to the ER a few times and they told me to slow my breathing wayyy down and within a few minutes the tingling, numbness, and stiffness would fade away. When i begin to feel it, I try to pay attention to my breathing and regulate it.

I have had a similar feeling when I was younger and had to take a trip to the ER.  Now it happens during sex and I've never had an orgasm.  When I was in my early teens, I went to the ER with sever stomach pains, worse than I had ever felt then or since, and I couldn't control my breathing.  My fingers were bent forward and and met the end of my thumbs (like duck hands); the doctor kept telling me I had to slow my breathing but I just couldn't.  They concluded food poisoning.  I've only recently started having sex, (I've only done it a few times now) and each time I have had a similar experience with the numbness in my hands, but not my face as other people have, but I was on my back like many other people who posted. I don't think I've had an orgasm and last time this happened sex still hurt a little and I wasn't really enjoying it but kept going hoping pain would go away.  I'm glad other people have experienced this but it sounds like something that's not going to go away.

Thank you for reading.

I've been experiencing this also. I ciertanly haven't had a orgasm, but it's happened when I have started feeling really good, but then all my attention has gone to my hands...one time I couldn't move my hands. As it has happened to me in a different context and it had to do with breathing, then this breathing thing lot of people metion here, seems something it could be. But this breathing thing dosen't explain why people seem to experience this while lying on back...these times I've experienced it, I have always been on my back.
