Okay, reallllly embarrassing question

Oh boy - can't even believe I'm posting this but I just need to know.

Here's the situation. There are certain situations ei: I'm in therapy and "connect" with deep feelings, I go to the chiropractor and discuss spirituality, go to the massage therapist and get a massage (usually painful due to fibromyalgia), and go to the hypnotherapist for pain management.

Now, I am NOT sexually attracted to any of these people (well, maybe the chiro a little bit ). However, when I seem to be in these relaxing situations getting in touch with my true feelings, I find that when I leave and go to the bathroom I appear to have been aroused, if you know what I mean without being explicit.

Does this happen to anyone? I almost feel like some kind of a perve. I don't feel aroused when I'm in these situations at all, but after when they are over there is evidence that I was.

Oh brother - I'm beet red!

could it be that u are relaxed
and that sensation of feeling cared for
thats making u subconciously feel this way..
how does all the treatment make u feel emotionally?

Thank you for answering - feeling kinda stupid so many people reading and no one answering!

Yes I am very relaxed and do feel cared for, but in a non-sexual way so I wonder if that's normal???

Are you talking about vaginal discharge? Sorry for being explicit, I just wanna make sure I get your question before responding.

i think it is completely normal
for one it is not actively in ur mind its subconscious
so its not perverted or anything like that

i just think ur whole self is gettin alot of benefit out of all this therapy

just the relaxing part, maybe...

I have fibro... always so much pain..

though I have had lots of massage in the past,
I recently started to have massage regularly again..

and I have to say, it feels so good.... so relaxing.... feel so cared for which I don't have in my life... and the absence of pain for awhile also feels so good...

and yes I chose a male massage person....

<font color="green">I am sorry I didn't say something before but was trying to figure out if you were male or female. I suppose it doesn't matter. If you feel comfortable, relaxed and perhaps cared for well it is not surprising that your body would respond.

Although I have no interest in sex with a woman I have dreampt of sleeping with my female therapist. She interpreted to mean I feel very connected to her and disconnected from my husband who was being a pita at the time.

What I am trying to say is that I feel it is normal to have feelings come up like this. </font>

I tend to get more aroused when totally relaxed too. I think it is perfectly normal

Yes I am a woman - that would have helped to explain huh? Sorry!

Thanks everyone - I just thought it was odd but I'm glad it seems normal. Could never ask my therapist about this i would be mortified!

it's normal. i've even had that happen with a female massage therapist. i think when we're able to relax that much and we feel cared for, touch, etc., then we totally "let go". i see it as proof that the massage is working and that you're really open to the relaxation.........xoxoxo pat

Thanks Faye - I feel so much bette now that I posted this and you all came back with comments.

It makes sense now - I had never thought that could happen from a non-sexual experience.

Have a happy day!

My neighbor is a massage T and says almost all her male clients get arouse and often ask her to leave the room so they can "take care" of themselves. So I assume it would be natural for women, too.

well that would be embaressing lol. I would tell him to take care of it when he gets home lol

When your body is being touched whether it be in a sexual or non-sexual situation it is healthy aka "normal" for it to react.

i think a massage would be great, but I'm afraid to be touched!

Hi Sneakers -

I was afraid for a long time, then I started going to a girl that is friends with my sister. I trust my sisters judgement so I went - and she is wonderful.

It takes time but it is worth it!

i had a massage T in NM that i adored. she came to my house and we put the table out by the river. she told me of having a male client and she was reaching around his back towards his belly button and ran into something hard. he was so apologetic and she was totally professional about it. i think it happens alot more than we think it does. and why now? it feels really good, it is healing and relaxing.

I dont know much about it, but I just wanted to tell you not to be embaressed or worried about asking. we all have questions about personal things...believe me, i do too. besides, thats what this forum is for anyways. so, just wanted to let you know that. but, just taking a guess, maybe like elsqueelio first said, you just like people emotianally connecting with you or just helping you and it might just feel good to be relaxed?
