Strange magic...

I am about to admit something about myself that I find to be completely bizarre. My hopes are that maybe, I'm not alone in my weirdness. Here goes: when I'm in the throws of a Super-O, especially a long one, my mind treats me not so much to images of sexual situations, but of geographical locations. One in particular - a not-so-exciting stretch of road in an affluent neighboring town - will play in my mind with shocking clarity, as if I were actually there. There's no sexual excursion or anything even remotely exciting about this place for me - it's just a place I've driven through a few times. Why? I can't answer. I consider Super-O's to be strange and wonderful magic, but this aspect of it, for me, is just....strange. Does anyone else treat themselves to odd mental images during Super-O's?

That is very interesting as I also experience this exact phenomenon. Different geographic locations that I have been to or drive to daily will go through my mind during sessions. Seems to be more prevalent during Aneros sessions rather than Aless sessions. It is definitely an amazing journey!!

@Ananewb-Wow - It's comforting to know I'm not alone in my bizarreness. Every time I'm "transported" to this unglamorous and unsexy street corner during a Super-O session, it tends to knock the experience down a peg for me. It doesn't exactly stop it from occurring, but it does make me wonder for a moment, "what the fuck is that all about?"

I get something a bit similar that's happened a dozen times or so in the middle of a particularly mind-breaking orgasm. When I have a strong orgasm, my mind gets really fuzzy and it gets really hard to think clearly. Suddenly in the middle of all of the brain fog everything will become incredibly clear and I'll get mental imagery of a large bright room with many windows and shimmering curtains. I can see it all in such vivid detail that it might as well be real. My mind will be so amazingly lucid during this brief time that in comparison it feels like I'm dreaming during my normal life. That's a freaky thought, isn't it? That reality is the illusion and it's only when I'm able to remove the veil that I'm momentarily transported to where my body REALLY is...

I don't really believe in that, but it's an interesting thought. But I always figured if there is such a thing as spiritual enlightenment, that's the closest I'll ever get.

@Mumbo --- That's it EXACTLY. When I'm "transported" to this unusual place, it's like I'm actually there. It's extremely clear - so clear and so real, I can actually hear the sea gulls and smell the salt water marsh around the corner.

Yes, 'Strange magic...' indeed. Whether Super-O's induce an altered state of consciousness or vice-versa, I don't think you are alone in this experience nor do I think it particularly wierd. Orgasms allow the body to release various endogenous compounds, hormones and neurotransmitters which are not normally released in a simultaneous cascade. This entourage of compounds may act similarly to exogenic psychoactive induced mind altering drugs. It is something I noted in my own first Super-O when I said "All I can say now is WOW ! This is an experience I want to enjoy again soon, this is a whole lot better than any recreational drugs I may have used in the past, as I know it's all natural endorphins cascading through my system and I allowed my body to make it happen." I may have been wrong about endorphins (more likely the surges of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and who knows what else, perhaps even endocannabinoids) but I was certainly in an altered state of consciousness.

... it does make me wonder for a moment, "what the fuck is that all about?"

As to why you are getting a repeat retrieval of a particular set of images is something only you can figure out but it must have some significance for your subconscious to keep bringing it forth. That's certainly something for you to explore, it's obvious your subconscious wants you to examine it.

What makes you think your momentary experience isn't also a component of what constitutes a greater reality, a reality that our limited bodily processes can't normally perceive? If you read the accounts of some Buddhist monks, Hindu gurus, et al. they speak of the illusory nature of perceived day to day 'reality' and that our true reality is hidden by veils of illusion. Perhaps your moments of clarity are glimpses of a higher reality after all.
Good Vibes to You !

Sounds a lot like astral projection to me. This is sometimes addressed regarding meditation and lucid dreaming. You may look up Michael Raduga's "The Phase" E-Book. If I remember right, he talks about this.

I agree with @rumel that we are essentially getting high off orgasms and peripheral pleasures. I have had many strange images. I think the strangest so far was was an incredibly vivid still image of 2 ants, close-up, filling my entire consciousness. Ochre ants, with a blue sky and some green grass in the background. So close I could see the hairs on their mandibles jutting out of their weather balloon-sized heads. I don't know if ants have hairy mandibles, but in this ant-infested crevice of my consciousness, they do. I am not a formicinaphile, nor do I have entomological inclinations. That's just what my brain decided to show me. I don't remember what I was doing exactly. I think I was just being touched by a partner in bed, or maybe she had a toy in me. It was only a few weeks ago, and the only part of the experience I remember well is the ants. ANTS! Having had much psychedelic drug experience, and numerous orgasmic other-worldly experiences, all so drastically different from one another and all very personal, I am reluctant to ascribe them to any dogma. I attribute them, like dreams, to the bizarreries of my sub-conscious, to be marveled at when I am allowed a glimpse at their mystery.

This all sounds so very similar to my experiences with smoking Salvia D. The conscious mind is shut down or dissociated, and you can see directly into your subconscious. It seems so real -- maybe it is and when your conscious mind is not shut down or dissociated it hides this layer of reality. Who knows 🙂

In relation to super-O's, I agree with @rumel -- it seems the chemicals released by the orgasm are removing these "layers" or "veils".

It is a brain chemistry situation. Dopamine, Seratonin, Norepinepherine etc. Floodgates just open up and trigger all sorts of bizarre experiences. There are over 300 neural transmitter pathways in the brain and only a handful of them are understood. I think the whole thing has less to do with supernatural, spirituality, astral projection etc than it does with hyper stimulation of so many neural pathways at once. Regardless of mechanism, it sure is enjoyable.
