I have this same sensation, it feels like an orgasm from the my arms up to my scalp. For me it triggers when I am really anticipating something or when im watching something that I am really excited about. It also happens when Im listening to certain music. I think everyone has their different triggers because everyone is different but if anyone ever finds out an exact name for this posting it would be greatly appreciated.

I've always wondered about this. I've been getting the "brain-gasms" since I was little....Has anyone found a name for this? I was amazed to find out that this could be a rare thing, seeing as there isn't much about it on google. For some reason, I get that feeling at the doctors office. A little weird, but its how the nurses and the doctors talk. Maybe it has something to do with the controlled movement? I noticed I also get this feeling online to, I was talking to this girl, and they way she was talking to me was different than most people talk. Now, I know it wasn't anything like I had a crush on her, because I'm straight. It was just the way she worded things. I also get that feeling with meditative voices, like the people who talk during meditation. Its a good feeling...like everyone else said, like tingles on the back of my neck to the top of my head. I just wish there was a name for it.

I've been experiencing this since I was very young. I would love to find a name for it! My triggers are similar to others here: mostly a certain type of voice, and it's best when the speaker is explaining or describing something (I've become hooked on Youtube tutorial/product review videos).
Some examples of extreme triggers for me - would like to know if these work for others as well:

finaly! other people who know what im talking about, i thought i have a problem but now it seems its not so rare. i get this strange head tingle when someone tries to tell my fortune, gives another person or me a massage and strangely enough when im being kindly lectured. i love it, ive tried to tack down other more permanent sources but failed. it seems to me its some form of feeling of what you think someone else is feeling, a euphoric imitation. but there are so many factors i can never put a solid meaning to it. i guess it will go down as one of those great bodily mysteries...for now.
soon enough this feeling will come in pill form.

Wow....I had no idea other people felt this sensation o.O This is amazing!! The earliest I remember having this feeling is when I was a little kid and I would watch The Three Stooges. There was just something about watching them make food in silly ways or watching them build something odd. There was no music or distractions...just the natural sounds of them clanking things around or rustling things and there was one particular episode (Sing A Song Of Six Pants) where Moe makes pancakes...and the fact that the segment was so drawn out just got to me. I loved watching him snip the pancakes with scissors in order to divide them up and I loved hearing the snips as he cut them. It was really all the little sounds that would make me tingle. Also watching them make concoctions and potions would make me tingle too.
Growing up, if somebody drew a picture for me I would get the sensation. I used to love for someone to search for answers in a school book and I would watch them intently as they brush through the pages slowly, and the sound of it as well as seeing them concentrate so hard would make me feel like I was going to fall asleep...but in a good way, haha! It just relaxes me so much. Tutorials are what really get me though. I would spend hours watching HGTV craft shows!! The closeups of people making little crafts and explaining how to do it as well as all the little natural sounds that came from making the crafts would have me in such a euphoric state. One of my favorite things to do is find YouTube tutorial videos for arts and crafts and I'll sit there all night replaying videos of people applying appliques to things or people creating crafts for children.
I remember in high school, whenever I had trigonometry homework, I would listen to the radio with headphones on. In particular it would be 98.7 FM WFMT - "Chicago's Fine Arts Station". The classical music helped me focus but mainly I listened for the little breaks in between where male and female hosts would talk about taking donations, upcoming shows, and they would tell stories every now and then about varoius classical music composers. The way they spoke was so relaxing...it was crystal clear...as if they were whispering in my ear. Sometimes I could hear them rustle papers around on a desk. It was absolutely amazing how relaxed I would get at hearing them speak. I actually took a blank tape cassette and recorded some of the sessions so that I could listen to them whenever I wanted :-P
I'm 23, male. The only person I've ever told any of this to is my mother back when I was younger. She said she knew what I meant and that she gets the same feelings and sensations with certain things. I guess I got it from her, lol. I feel like people would think I'm a weirdo if I tried explaining it. I really wish there was some sort of BBC documentary on this or something, haha XD I really want to know how many people have this and where it comes from.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the most powerful "head-tingler"

THIS. I had no idea how many other people experienced this feeling. Well, I knew other people got tingly from things like someone cutting their hair, but not all the weird things that I get tingly from (like watching people do certain things and the sounds they make doing things) I always thought I was just some weirdo who got these strange tinglies by seeing people do random things. You can imagine if there were someone who didn't understand this, seeing someone watching a video online over and over again for a reason they didn't understand would seem very weird, so I never talked to ANYBODY about this.
So here goes. I have been having these feelings pretty much my whole life. I don't remember the first time it happened, but I was a little kid when it started, and I am 22 now. And if it matters I'm female. Anywho, the reason I never talked about it was because I thought it was just me and if I ever told any of my family or friends they would just make fun and think I was weird. Like seriously, who gets "head tingles" from watching somebody draw? I thought only me! But all kinds of stuff can set off the tingles for me. I remember a couple years back when I was at work, I was watching one of my coworkers mop the floor. It was quiet and I could hear the sounds of the mop sweeping across the floor, and the sound combined with watching her just gave me the tingles, so I just stood there and zoned out. And more recently, I got it from another coworker who was intent on getting my baby to kick her (I'm pregnant) so she kept pushing and rubbing on my belly. My manager saw her doing this and asked if we wanted him to turn off the lights and leave us alone, haha. But it wasn't anything sexual at all, it was just the way she was doing it and how focused she was and I started getting tingly. Imagine a pregnant lady just zoning out over someone prodding their belly! A lot of people would be annoyed, but I just got tingly! lol.
I still feel weird explaining myself, even to people who have the exact same "condition" as me! I mean, like I said, I have had this my whole life and have never told a single person. I always felt that it was an embarrassing thing. Like someone would say "What the hell? You get tingly from watching me??! Freak!" But I can't help it. I also get it sometimes when my cats make biscuits on me. (You know, when they push you repeatedly with their paws) I also get it from the sound of dripping/splashing water (like watching somebody wash something in a sink or bathtub) Sometimes I just want that tingly feeling so I will get on youtube or whatever just to find a video that gives me that feeling. This is one of them! You guys, go look at it and tell me if it makes you tingly or not! I am curious. It's a video of a damaged masterlock pad lock that still works, and the guy is demonstrating it close up. Something about the little clicky sounds and the movements gives me the tingles..

The tingles start in my head, and eventually I start getting them in my arms and legs as well. I wish I understood this better! But it makes me feel better that I'm not alone in my weird tingly sensations and the weird things that sets them off. :-D

As someone else posted, I did not realize that not everyone felt the tinglings, which I like to sometimes refer to as champagne bubbles. The 1st time I remember talking about it was as a very young child when I noticed that when the bath water was just perfectly warm I would get it. I tried to describe it to my mom and new it was a feeling word that began with a "T", but I used the word Tension instead.
I loved it when someone would draw a picture on my back with their finger, as it would happen then, or run their fingers through my hair. Certain voices or the way someone talked would do it and massages or soft caresses or the perfect breeze. As I got older, sometimes certain songs. I had a boy friend who would get it when listening to older people talk.

I went to a Reiki session once & as before the session I began to feel it. The Reiki master, who is also intuitive, told me it was because she was basically in "the zone". I felt it all over during that session & then I spent the rest of the day at the metaphysical store & before I left I told the owner about this all over tingling. She explained it was all the good vibrations in the air. For weeks, each day as I thought about the experience I could get it to go on again, so I began a bit of research. At this time, I also became aware that not everyone got this feeling. Wow, for like 40 years I thought it was just normal. I did not really notice it until asking my husband starting with "you know how at certain times you get like that scalp or brain massage feeling?" and he replied "No". Then I spoke to some friends who told me it was a gender thing and that males would get more of an all over warmth, while females got the champagne bubbles; however, as I indicated I did have a boyfriend who got it & I talked to some other males who get it, so it ruled out gender.
I am not a religious person, but during the last few years I have become quite "spiritual". I noticed that during guided meditation and even during silent meditation I would get this. It may sound odd to some people, but I have now studied Angels, again not related to any particular religion, and have apprenticed a Shaman and learned about different spiritual guides, like ancestors from our past. While doing this now I find I can just think about angels and I get the tingling to start. I believe we are all made of energy, just as everything else on the planet is and which is confirmed by physics. All energy vibrates at different levels/frequency, even solid matter does. Many things can trigger a change in the vibration of the energy in our body and what we are feeling in the vibrational changes. I have a group of 950 other angel practitioners who experience this and quite a few who apprentice Deborah King from Hay House radio.

Anyways, point being, I can now get it at any point I want and basically I can get it pretty much anywhere. It's no longer just my scalp/brain massage (did find a cool scalp massager that helps to get it there, but did not purchase it). It's like this awesome internal massage mechanism. Of course, there are lots of times that I can't control it from happening, but I wouldn't want to stop it anyways! To me it now represents, comfy love, peace, harmony. Sometimes it's accompanied by wonderful feeling goose bumps, which I now call angel bumps.

I have these too, I just always thought I was the only one! It usually happens to me when someone plays with my hair, or if I watch someone draw a picture of me, and when I am read to or sung to, and when I listen to a certain band. I don't know how to explain it other than a scalp tingle, them a head orgasm, hahaha.

I have them too! I've been getting them since I was a kid, and 'learned' how to do it while falling asleep. I don't get it strongly from audio or visual triggers like most people it seems, though they can 'get me to the edge'. Touch is what really sets me off, if someone slowly but firmly pokes my forehead right above an eyebrow, or at the hairline, or on my temple it starts. I also usually can think about it enough (meditate?) and get it going; when it's real intense it shoots from mostly the right side of my brain all the way down my spine and ends at my tailbone. Sometimes it forces me to twitch and arch my back (aka the good times :D) For me it's like I can choose the right or left side, but the right side is always more intense. I can't wait until more is learned about this!

I KNOW WHAT THIS IS. Not a medical problem. It's psychological, & it's a GOOD thing. It's triggered by something that DEEPLY comforts you to the core (emotionally). Clinically this is the HYPNOTIC state, which also happens to be the same phenomena often referred to as "nirvana" sought by meditation. Different names, same basic phenomena. As evidenced by clinical hypnosis this zero stress, euphoria enables the mind to do incredible things like vividly recall things you thought impossible. The subconscious "comfort" can be triggered by someone's actions that makes you feel very safe & in good hands (ie: someone exhibiting wisdom & competence). The other big trigger is the comfort derived from someone's deep & sincere interest in YOU which satisfies our natural instinct to want to be wanted & valued. Extrapolate on this yourself & you'll see logic behind your triggers. And Yes, it's the greatest feeling in the world ;) My brother & I have had this all our lives!!! Everyone can get it when the trigger is right.

:-D Wow...I totally just stumbled upon this page. I have this happen too. It happens mostly when I see people creating or doing something skillfully. Be that drawing, sculpting, singing, etc... It happens most when I hear a soprano hit a high note pitch perfect. I figured it was my brains reaction to beauty. Granted, it is a beautiful feeling. I love that other people experience this too! I've tried to explain it before...and people have no idea what I am talking about. It also happens for me sometimes if I get a massage....and found it happens more when I watch someone else getting a massage...like instructional videos on YouTube.
Mine seems to travel up my spine, up to my head, and feels like it is going out of the top of my head. I have heard it can relate to the crown chakra ( ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** web addresses not allowed***).... but that is is you believe that. So far it seems as good as an explanation as any that I've seen.
I also wonder what regions of the brain are 'lighting up' when people experience this. Hmmm?
By the way, the musician Bjork has a song called 'My Spine' where I think she is describing this feeling. The song even does it to me sometimes. :) Watch here: http://youtu.be/rch1jlykCq0. Enjoy. :-)
