Unusual Sensation in My Side Area

6/16/2025, 10:10:33 PMMale25-34

At 18 years old and carrying a slight weight surplus of about 30 pounds, I recently encountered a peculiar experience with my girlfriend. During our playful moments, we discovered an unexpected sensitivity around a stretch mark on my side. Strangely enough, when she touches it, it feels almost as if there is an extra orgasmic sensation radiating from that spot. It’s remarkable; she can press and rub it repeatedly, and it elicits a feeling akin to an orgasm, but localized to the side of my body. Now, she keeps teasing me about it, claiming I have a 'side clit.' It's utterly baffling! While the sensation is enjoyable, I can't help but wonder why this area of my stomach, back, and hip mimics the function of a sexual organ. Interestingly, this newfound sensitivity doesn’t interfere with my regular sexual experiences; having that weird stretch mark doesn’t lead to me reaching climax in any typical sense. I’m genuinely confused here and could use some insight!

It sounds like you’re experiencing a unique and interesting sensitivity in an area of your body that’s often overlooked. Let’s unpack this sensation and consider why it might be happening.

Main Points

  • Unusual sensitivity in the skin, especially around stretch marks, can occur for various reasons, including nerve endings, skin trauma, or even changes in sensitivity due to weight changes.
  • Stretch marks can sometimes lead to heightened sensitivity due to their effect on the nerves in the surrounding skin.
  • Such localized sensations can vary from person to person and can enhance sexual experiences without impacting typical sexual function.

Explanation

Stretch marks, caused by rapid changes in skin elasticity (often due to weight gain, growth spurts, or hormonal changes), can create changes in the nerve endings in that area. This can lead to heightened sensitivity and tactile pleasure when the area is touched. It’s not uncommon for some individuals to have more sensitivity in areas where stretch marks are present, which can feel quite pleasant and can lead to sensations similar to those experienced during sexual arousal.

The playful teasing with your girlfriend indicates a comfortable and enjoyable exploration of your body’s responses, which is a positive aspect of your intimacy together.

Next Steps

  1. Observe and Enjoy: Continue to explore this sensitivity, if it feels good and you’re comfortable. Pay attention to what types of touch feel best and communicate openly with your partner about your sensations.

  2. Monitor Changes: If you notice any changes in sensitivity, pain, or any new symptoms, keep track of those and see if they increase or decrease over time.

  3. Maintain Overall Skin Health: Ensure the area stays moisturized to improve skin elasticity, which might help with discomfort from stretch marks. You might consider light creams or oils to keep the skin hydrated.

  4. Self-Care: Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. This can support overall skin health and help you feel better about any weight concerns.

  5. Stay Informed: If you have further concerns about your sensitivity or any other unusual sensations, consider reading more about skin health and stretch marks, or refer to reputable health resources.

Your experience is quite unique and can be an interesting area for exploration in your relationship, so enjoy this newfound sensation while keeping an eye on your overall health and comfort! If anything changes or if you have more questions, feel free to reach out!

Concerns About Telemedicine during a Drive

Hello everyone, I'm a 28-year-old woman with a background of thyroid cancer, necessitating routine check-ups every six months. Recently, a question came to my mind regarding the professional conduct of my primary care physician. I was taken aback to learn that she participated in my telemedicine appointment while driving. I've noticed her appearing somewhat distracted during our in-person visits and at times, she forgets the medications we discuss during our reviews, but this situation felt even more inappropriate. It’s challenging for me to comprehend why I’m spending $450 post-insurance for what feels like a casual video call when it’s clear she is multitasking. Although I've been under her care for about two years, I'm eager to find a practitioner who will genuinely take the time to understand my health history and build a long-term relationship. I appreciate any insights you can offer!

Concerns About a Recent Lump on My Shaft: Seeking Guidance

I’m a 20-year-old male with allergies primarily to wood, pollen, and grass, which used to cause me hives, but that issue has resolved. Now, to address the main concern. I found a lump on my shaft while showering yesterday morning, and it caught me off guard. Up until now, I haven’t experienced any discomfort, and I still feel largely fine. The size of the lump is similar to that of a pimple or possibly a cyst, but I'm unsure. I'm contemplating whether it would be wise to consult a doctor about this issue, as I want to be informed on how to proceed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Should We Handle This Ear Issue at Home or Seek Medical Attention?

I’m sharing this on behalf of my husband, a 33-year-old male who is not currently taking any medications and has no known chronic conditions. The only relevant detail is that he has a significant issue with earwax accumulation. At times, this leads to noticeable deposits on his pillow when he sleeps on his side, affecting his hearing. For the past few days, his ear has exhibited symptoms similar to what is often seen in various ear conditions. He reports feeling a sense of discomfort, although there is no pain or itchiness involved. Touching or tugging on the tragus and surrounding areas does not elicit any pain. He’s uncertain why there are scabs around this area. He mentioned experiencing a sensation of fluid inside the ear yesterday, prompting him to use some over-the-counter peroxide drops to help clear it out. He described the output as a thick, opaque discharge resembling earwax, but darker and more liquid in texture. Today, while the fullness sensation seems to have diminished, the discomfort remains. His other ear appears normal, perhaps just slightly dry, but nothing more than what is typical for ears. Given this information, I'd like to know whether this is a situation he can manage at home or one that warrants a visit to urgent care. Additionally, what might be the underlying issue?

Distinguishing Between Norovirus and Influenza: Seeking Insights

I know I recently shared an update, but I realized I overlooked an important question. My 28-year-old husband has been feeling unwell since early this morning, although he seems to be on the mend. He experienced a single episode of vomiting and has had diarrhea 3-4 times today. Since he started expressing discomfort, we have been entirely apart to prevent any possible spread of illness. Given his symptoms, could this be Norovirus or Influenza? Currently, he is suffering from a headache, feels unusually warm (though we don’t have a thermometer, so I can’t confirm if he has a fever), and is experiencing soreness in his legs. Additionally, his throat was quite painful for much of the day, particularly after vomiting, which might be due to a globus sensation. He has taken a total of 12mg of ondansetron, administered in intervals of six hours. For reference, he weighs 230 pounds, seldom consumes alcohol, has Puerto Rican heritage, is a former smoker, and does not use any illicit substances.
