Are you currently synesthetic?

Q: Dear Asextoys, I like listening for your podcasts and stories due to the fact your voice alterations colors when I listen. Most recorded voices don’t. I know that sounds weird, but when I hear sounds, especially music and voices, I also see colors. The few folks I’ve told about this think I’m generating it up. According to some of the things you say and the way you say them I am questioning when you are synesthetic, too?

A: Normally nice to meet a fellow synesthete, Alan. Supposedly 1 in 25 people expertise a kind of sensory cross-linkage in which stimulating one particular sense also evokes yet another. I’m not surprised that these you’ve told about it believed you had been making it up. There really is not a vocabulary to describe seeing sounds or flavors as color, when you’re sober To most of the people it sounds like an acid trip, and given that it is actually so uncommon, couple of persons ever meet somebody who is synesthetic, and of individuals who are, lots of don't realize that there is a word for it. But do not worry, you’re not imagining it. MRI and PET scans in the brains of synesthetic individuals do reveal that there are actually distinct neural differences. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with people who knowledge this. We’re just wired a bit differently. Hitachi Wand Vibrators are used to stimulate female clit or inside or vagina.

While I’m around the subject of synesthesia, I’ll also mention the Sensory Perception Sensitivity (SPS) that happens in 20% with the population. Folks with SPS are often named Hugely Sensitive Persons (HSP). I’ve not encounter any research that hyperlinks synesthesia to Sensitives, however it is my own expertise, and that of a number of other individuals I know, that the two go with each other. So what exactly is an HSP? I located a HubPage that explains it pretty effectively: HSPs “are folks whose brains and central nervous systems are “wired” in such a way that they're more acutely conscious of, and attuned to, themselves, other people, and their atmosphere. Because of this, a very sensitive individual is a lot more effortlessly stimulated and aroused by their surroundings, from which it follows that additionally they get far more readily “overaroused” than most of the people.” They get over-sensitized. And they are frequently hugely attuned towards the power, the emotional states, of those around them.

Like people who encounter synesthesia, those with SPS have brains that course of action sensory input a little differently, and in reality, within a current study by Drs Arthur and Elaine Aron, MRIs show drastically greater activation in specific brain areas in folks identified as Extremely Sensitive. So, after once more, folks who believe they experience the planet a bit differently from other people or consider they may be much more sensitive to their atmosphere than other individuals are not imagining it. They truly are wired differently. A number of people actually can hear the flowers sing.

So… what does all that have to do with sensuality and sexuality you might ask?

1 could argue that synesthetic and highly sensitive persons make terrific lovers. Envision in the event you will, being in bed using a individual for whom each sound you make creates one thing like a kaleidoscopic laser light show in their minds. Picture being with somebody for whom each brush of one's fingers against the nape of her neck feels like direct clitoral contact. Imagine getting with someone who finds the taste of your skin or the scent of the arousal an actual aphrodisiac. Think about each and every pleasure you may really feel then envision it coupled with other pleasures, or magnified, or each.

Whilst a lot of those who are synesthetic or hugely sensitive may consider their acute sensory awareness a little of a curse out inside the “real world,” I assume you will come across that within the confines of your bedroom they're probably the most attentive, attuned, and present lovers you will ever uncover.
