Fetishes & Synesthesia

One definition of polymorphic perversion has been identified by Freud as mankind’s instinctual drive for sexual pleasure. These libidinal urges can be derived from any part of the body & a multifarious expanse of objects. Think of the film  Annie Hall. Alvy mentions his affinity for Annie’s ability to extract erotic pleasure from being caressed practically anywhere. It was as if her nerve-ending were attuned to the sense of touch. This sounds almost synonymous with the psychological definition of the term “fetish.”  Fetish is defined as “any object or non-genital part of the body that causes a habitual erotic response or fixation”.  So, this is all leading up to sexual synesthesia and how it may possible relate to the realm of exotic fetishes and fantasies.

 

But first, what exactly is Synesthesia?

It’s defined as being a neurological phenomenon in which a person’s brain is cross wired in its responses to stimuli. Poets, artists and writers often speak in terms such as “painting with a rainbow of words.” Or, “tasting the bitter ash of defeat”. Although this may sound fanciful, modern science has found through extensive brain imaging that some people literally experience a crossed impression of the senses.
For example, the regions of the brain that regulate the visual processing field might respond when a subject with synesthesia is exposed to say, a smell. The images of the intracranial activity would show not just the olfactory section of the brain lighting up with activity but to other regions not typically associated to that active by the sense of smell. Kinda crazy huh?

The most common form of synesthesia is grapheme-color synesthesia. This is when people perceive individual letters of the alphabet and numbers to be “shaded” or “tinged” with a color. Other synesthetes commingle sounds with scents, sounds with shapes. Or, shapes with flavors.

The psychedelic 60s seem to be full of “mind-expanding” experiences that are similar. However a better example that doesn’t involve a synthetic induced state would be  Fantasia;  a great film.  It expresses “seeing music” as it is interpreted by Disney’s artists in multiple vignettes for classic works of music. Perhaps everyone can experience a similar phenomenon akin to that of synesthesia by using their imaginations and exercising that creative “muscle” through meditations.

Erotic Masturbation Trance Opportunities

This seems feasible considering scientists have found evidence that our brains are capable of restructuring themselves and can rewire certain parts of itself when it recognizes the need for an adaption. They can develop and change throughout life. This is known as “neuroplasticity.” Therefore, if  we are in some ways capable of rewiring our cognitive pathway, might we be able to tap into new ways of processing our imprinted sense memories. This bodes for interesting sexual implications and exploring fetish fantasies in a new way. If nothing else, it makes for some erotic masturbation trance opportunities.

What do you think?

Are you able to experience sexual excitement from different sweet spots or experiences that might not at first glance seem overtly sexual?

What color(s) would sex be to you?

Do you already experience synesthesia?

If so, is it in a sensual/sexual context? How do you think synesthesia and fetishes are linked?

This vox fox wants to know darlings. Will you try to rewire your cognitive pathways?

You can call, email or sexytext me for some smart sex talk about sexual Synesthesia or just about anything else too because as you know, I check my email daily. Or catch me on Skype and message me since I love seeing you all there.
