I'll usually get the "frighteningly intense" orgasms when I'm alone masturbating since I'm not focusing on anyone but myself. I recently started masturbating regularly because my orgasms help regulate my periods and moods. I get a sense of Euphoria during and after an orgasm that's the equivalent of smoking Kush. And anyone who smokes Marijuana knows that Kush is a beast and will render you motionless. I recently stopped smoking Marijuana because it keeps me fat and kills my motivation....but I digress.

Well I recently had one of those "frighteningly intense" Orgasms while masturbating that scared me shitless. This particular intensity left my skin burning, mostly my hands and feet. I also experienced contractions in my thighs and stomach that made it difficult to walk. I was so frightened by the way my body reacted that once the numbness in my thighs ceased, I jumped up and ran cool water on my still burning hands.

I was exhausted, so I lay back in bed to catch my composure and instantly fell asleep. When I woke up I decided to do some research on Orgasm intensity to see if what I experienced was normal. I searched and searched Google and found nothing. I decided to visit a Tantra Forum and post my experience there. I got a few responses, but it was a moderator who told me that I had experienced something called an "Expanded Orgasm" and he sent me some very informative links. Every symptom that I described was talked about in great detail in every single article he sent, from the burning hands and feet, to the contracting abdomen and thighs. So now I had a name for this orgasmic phenomenon.

I even learned some cool historical tidbits about "Expanded Orgasms", like how the ancient Greeks believed that when a person experiences "Expanded Orgasms" that they have been touched by the God Eros, who was the God of lust, beauty, love, and intercourse. The idea of being touched by the Gods astounds me. And I'm not sure if it was Eros or Aphrodite that touched me, but BOY was it sensational.
