I know there’s been some joking in this thread but I just want to point out before anyone else says it that \*\*The Spontaneous Orgasms \*\*have not disbanded. As soon as we can finish auditioning a new drummer we will be back on tour.

So you REALLY enjoy cutting the grass? I think I may be in love.

The first one is pretty close, but the way of life came first, the other stuff you describe came after. 🙂

Such soul ties have been with people very close to me and some who care very deeply for me, people I feel safe to open myself up to, so yes I do have a type of relationship where I can (and have, though not at 5:47pm yesterday - who has sexual thoughts at 5:47 Pm yesterday?), ask them, though I know who it is, it is not just a general asking, but asking a specific person.

That’s cool, but tell your doctor anyway, okay?

First, I am a man.  
When I was in high school and maybe even earlier, I had what’s called emotional orgasms. In a very specific situation, while on an exam, at a point when I would feel oh, sh\*t, I’m not going to be able to answer any of this questions. I was having some sort of a panic feeling (quite intense and feeling like it’s out of my control) and at that moment I was starting feeling an orgasm coming, pretty fast. I was both trying to avoid it by cramping my muscles because probably I would have ejaculated, and at the same time really hoping for it because it was different from a normal one, I can’t explain, it felt different.

A spontaneous dudegasm? Sounds kinda messy.

**kanicbird,** if you attend church, may your spiritgasm hit you as soon as the sermon begins. Can ya say Amen!

But I digress, ladies, please continue. In full detail…

No, never. And quite honestly, it just doesn’t seem fair. If I was Supreme God of the Whole World, that would be Rule 1: orgasms for everyone!

Since you broke the ice:

Twelve years ago, on a bizarre whim I sent a letter to the finance ministry of the country of Vanuatu asking about their bond rates. When I got a reply from them (with a letter and a copy of their annual financial report), I was so flustered and excited (for no particular reason!) that I got a spontaneous erection and I…er…“leaked” a little. Not a real orgasm, though.

My girlfriend just told me she had them when her pants were too tight and she was riding on a bus. Always the same pair of pants. Not really spontaneos I guess.

I’ve been having them for a few years; when I first wake up in the morning or from a nap. I did not think of them as spontaneous but more as touchless.

Look at it this way: If you go to your doctor, and he tells you it’s not anything to worry about, then your next step can be to ask him how to make them happen more often. There’s valuable information to be had there.

And if the doctor is not forthcoming, get a second opinion.
