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!

Persistent Need to Stretch Legs While Seated

I experience a significant discomfort when seated, particularly when my knees are bent at about a 90-degree angle. This sensation compels me to stretch my legs straight, and if too much time passes without doing so—typically around every five to six minutes—the urge intensifies to an uncomfortable level that’s hard to manage. It’s more than just a desire to fidget; fully extending my legs tends to offer the greatest relief. Adjusting my position provides some comfort, but it doesn’t alleviate the feeling nearly as effectively as a full stretch does. This issue predominantly arises when I remain stationary in a chair. Occasionally, I notice a similar feeling when I’m lying down, but these instances are relatively rare compared to the frequent occurrences while sitting. I consulted a relative who is a medical professional about this discomfort, and they suggested that it doesn’t appear to align with Restless Leg Syndrome. However, since this isn't their specialization, I acknowledge that there may be a chance of error. * What could potentially be causing these sensations? * Does anyone else relate to this experience? * Are there methods available to help manage or diminish this feeling? I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights.

Resources for Safe Mouse Cleanup

While it may not be a typical inquiry for a healthcare professional, I find myself in need of guidance. Recently, we had an uninvited mouse visitor in our home, and unfortunately, it left droppings in my children's toy storage and on the changing table. I am seeking advice on how to effectively disinfect all affected items or determine if disposal is necessary to prevent any health risks. My children are quite young, at 2.5 years and just 4 months old. If they’ve potentially been exposed to mouse droppings, should I reach out to their pediatrician? For reference, I’m a 32-year-old female, standing at 5'6" and weighing 140 pounds, not currently on any medications.

Excessive Electrical Shocks Encountered

Hello everyone! This is my inaugural post here since I don't frequently use Reddit. I'm a 15-year-old male, and I've recently been experiencing an unusual frequency of electrical shocks. Whenever I come into contact with anything that is either highly charged or conductive, I receive a sharp, irritating jolt. This situation has become increasingly bothersome. For instance, I can only grasp my Mac charger by the cord and not the plug itself. I'm curious if anyone has insights into why this is happening. Please let me know; I hope it's nothing serious! 💕

Combining Ketorolac with Alcohol: Is It Safe?

Recently, I unknowingly mixed a 10mg dose of ketorolac with half a bottle of 4.5% beer. At that moment, I wasn't aware of the potential risks involved in this combination. It wasn't until I was partway through my drink that I thought to look it up. Now, I’m wondering if it’ll be fine for me to have a drink tomorrow night after stopping all ketorolac use, especially since this medication hasn’t been effective for my pain relief. To give you an idea of the timeline, I took ketorolac around 2 PM and didn’t start drinking until 11 PM.

Concerns About My Eye Condition

I'm a 19-year-old female, weighing 190 pounds and standing 5'5". Lately, I’ve noticed some troubling changes in my eyes. There are prominent, red veins extending from the inner corners of my eyes into the irises. Additionally, there are bright red streaks and pools forming at the lower part of both eyes beneath the eyelids, bordered by a yellowish hue. When I consulted two different doctors, they were unable to pinpoint the issue and simply recommended lubricating eye drops. Unfortunately, the condition seems to be deteriorating, with the redness spreading further. While there is no significant pain, keeping my eyes open feels like a struggle, and my vision has become increasingly blurry, leading to some headaches. I’ve been unwell recently, but I’m uncertain if this has any relevance to my eye problems. Any advice or insights would be immensely helpful.
