The title pretty much sums it up. My girlfriend says that within five to fifteen minutes of ingesting my semen, she gets what she describes as a “tingly, energetic” sensation concentrated in her lower back. Needless to say, we’re fairly baffled. Assuming I don’t have magic spooge, what’s going on here? ---

Like someone else said, it’s probably the position she’s in. I don’t think it’s anything fatal… my stomach feels kind of funky after swallowing alot of it… I’m not dead yet. Grem ---

Try normal sex and if the tingling moves to her tonsils the cause might be your two-foot penis. ---

“Ingesting” meaning purely oral? Or via other orifi as well? Has she has this effect from other men? Have you had it on other women? ---

Also, it doesn’t seem to happen after any particular position, only when ingestion is involved does it happen. Could it perhaps be the result of a semen allergy or something along those lines? ---

Damnit, this new version enables sigs by default. If only somebody were in a position change the default setting. Some kind of . . . administrator. 😉 ---

hang on tingling at the base of the spine as i remember is a symptom of an STD, i cant remember which one, I had ch;amidia once so it may be that, but i think i also read somewhere that a symptom of Herpes is a tingling at the base of a spine, does she have any STD’s or do either of you have a possibility of having them. My GF didnt experience the sensation so i dont have super spooge. I am not at all any medical authority but I dod remember reading it as a symptom of an STD or some form of issue. I would at least get the usualy STD test, i get one every year or so to make sure. Its no big deal and worth it, because it is not exactly a normal thing to occur. Does she get the same issue from seminal fluids through intercourse? Zaphod ---

As for reaction to seminal fluids during intercourse, we’ve never had unprotected sex, so I can’t say. ---

Correction: she was tested last year, but was recently at the OBGYN. However, we’ve been exclusive since that test, so there’s no chance of catching anything since then. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tingling-sensation-after-ingesting-semen-huh/224223.md?page=2)
