hallucinations during sex?

[carangil]

not exactly dreaming, but close: This doesn't happen to me very often, but everyone I've talked to says its weird. Sometimes, when having really good sex (or masturbating), it feels so good that I start to see things. If my eyes are closed, or the room is dark, I'll see images of beautiful sunsets, or trees, beaches. Or I'll see flashes of color or repeating geometric patterns. I'll see clouds, rainbows, spirals; it's kind of random and usually very colorful. Sometimes objects in the room will transform or whatever. The visuals are reminiscent of cinematic depictions of LSD. (Though I have never tried it and I don't think ever will.) If I either stop the sex act, or I orgasm, that state ends, and I'm back to reality. The actually experience doesn't bother me... the visuals are beautiful, and when I slip into that state I feel so blissful and euphoric. (That state feels better than the actual orgasm that follows it.) I would actually miss it if for some reason it never happened again. What concerns me, is I don't know anyone who has ever had anything like that, and I'm wondering if maybe it might indicate some medical problem I don't know about yet.

google 'tantric sex'. writings about using sex to induce different states of mind have been around for several thousand years. its very normal and tons of people still practice it. you can study different techniques to enhance the experience.

I guess its just the dopamine.

Wow. Never had that happen before. That must be some good sex.

Perhaps you might have a mild form of this condition that causes people to see all sorts of things when certain senses are stimulated. I remember this one person who said that s/he gets all sort of swirling colours in front of them when s/he hears sounds, and that different sounds produce different colours. It's something to do with the "wires" in your brain getting crossed. I'm not too sure whether the condition only stimulates the swirling colours, or if it can produce complex imagery like you've described. At any rate, it's an interesting thing to read about. It's called synesthesia, and a link to it is here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia
