only your own treatment providers can say whether this is a body memory in .....you...

in me no it would not be.
in me this would be called sexual arousal.

in me a body memory would be having a headache when thinking of the traumatic memory of falling and hitting my head on the rock floor during the traumatic event of being abused in a mine shaft.

in me a body memory is I am thinking or telling someone of the time when I broke my arm as a child and my right arm aches in the same place at that moment of telling my story.

to find out if this is a body memory in you, you will need to talk with your own treatment providers.
