Eargasms. Yes. Wonnnnnnderful things. My roommates look at me like I’m crazy if I tell them that it feels really good. 😉 My fiancee just laughs at me. I notice they are especially sensitive after a shower. But wow … I thought I was weird or something. It’s neat to hear about it from other people. ---

I’m thinking it’s a woman thing, because when I tongued my boyfriend’s ear (yes, I have a boyfriend now), though he found it pleasurable he didn’t give me the reaction I was expecting. In fact, he was sort of like, “How could someone enjoy something so strange?” Now, when he did it to me I went crazy! Almost yelled out in pleasure! _gasps and shivers_ Tongues are much more…pliable than Q-tips. ---

What are they, and how can I get one? That is all I want to know. Being single is not so easy. [sub]much sighing.[/sub] ---

The guy I’m now seeing happens to be the exact same guy that I wrote about in the “Am I _ever_ so Pissed!” thread in The Pit like a month ago. It’s odd how things like that work out, how I grew from hating him to being really fond of him. Cool, huh? ---

Oh… how I love those eargasms! But, it’s only with Q-tips–tongues don’t work for me. Maybe it’s the extra slobber/heavy breathing that bugs me. ---

geez, I take a few days off and people turn ear-kink into kitty-porn! One follow-up type thing: Do most people find that they can only really achieve eargams after a shower, or can you get one anytime of the day? Now, I think we can agree on the tongue thing: it’s a good thing [anyone who want to compare: I have a big-ass-Sams Club-size box of Q-tips and a willing tongue 😉] Also, leave the pussy vagina alone (I had to try writing it, it _is_ as weird to write as to read, btw)! Sheesh ---

Nope Sani, my gf is a beautiful Indiana girl named Suzy. I started a thread about her when I sent her an email asking if we could be more than friends. Me and the Pennsylvania Welf both just found happiness at the same time. And for the record, I _do_ react strongly to have my ears licked. –John ---

well… I won’t say one way or the other if I get eargasms… but I WILL say this… I bend Q-tips like jocks bend the rules… _notices his ears are stuffed up_ Until next time people… 🙂 ---

I had to revive this thread for the sole reason of tell y’all I almost fell down tonight, the Q-tips were so good to me. Knees buckled and everything. ---

thinksnow wrote, waaaaay back in the OP: > [@](#): > > I once heard a woman who was asked if women enjoy the feelings of sex as much as men do answer thusly - “When your ear itches, and you put your finger in and wiggle it around, which feels better, the ear or the finger?” There is a problem with this analogy. Penises have a lot more nerve endings than fingers do. They should not be considered so much a “finger” as “an ear turned inside-out.” ---

That is what my husband labeled it. He watched me use a Qtip with this look of ecstasy on my face. It is wonderful! It feels so Good. ---

OMG! There _are_ people like me!! My SO got fairly weirded out the first time we were in the bathroom together, he taking his contacts out while I giggled with glee over massaging my inner-ear with that cold, wet Q-Tip… Sometimes, I get those little tickles that can **only** be cured with a _cold wet Q-Tip_… They are the next best thing to Sex baby!!! 😃 😃 😃 😃 ---

All this good information, occsionally needs to be brought back to the top, since I’m guessing the new op on cleaning your ears will raise the question again. ---

good weeping jesus and great danes- I have _never_ spoken about this- and here all… I’m really dumbfounded! I thought I was the only one! And yes- Q-tips- the others are pathetic! I do it out of the shower too- whatever is in there is softer, makes it a more pleasant experience than just a cold call, if you will. I linger, take extra time, use 1+ Q-tip on each ear- the rubbing, feeling it get cleaner and a little scratchier the more tips I use- god I love it! Worth a read, perhaps… my dyin ass… You’re kind of a master of understatement sometimes, aintcha **Snow**? ---

Hmm, I usually use a ballpoint. Not the end you write with, but the ‘other’ end of the resevoir. I know I really shouldn’t do it, but it still gives me the shivers… And I’ve never got an itch at the back of my throat. Wonder if the two are possibly related?
