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”. Though this may sound fanciful, modern science has found through extensive brain imaging that some people literal experience a cross 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. Kinda crazy huh?
The most common form of synesthesia is grapheme-color synesthesia, in which 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 that expresses “seeing music” as it is interpreted by Disney’s artists in multiple vignettes for classic works of music.
So we are all capable of rewiring our cognitive pathways and tapping into new ways of processing our imprinted sense memories it seems. This bodes for interesting sexual implications
What do you think? Are you able to experience sexual excitement from different sweet spots or experiences? Do you think this might be partially what forms fetishes? This

Oh my! This post was very interesting to read, I knew very little about those big words you used, but I have to say that I have experience sexual synesthesia in my life and it is very intense and very enjoyable. But, I am sure that any lucky guy that comes across a sexy lady like yourself can awaken that side of him.
Aw thank you sexy! I am so glad you had a wonderful experience of sexual synesthesia. It’s like sex in Technicolor 😉
Hi, ok 1) I heard that the Disney cartoonists were all using opium when they did Fantasia.
2) So does synesthesia answer how I fetishized petticoats? i.e. when I was a little boy and fell in love with girls (especially a babysitter who was about 16) who all were wearing petticoats? (approx. ’58,’59ish, when I was say 7ish or 8ish yrs old) and especially then finding my older sister’s petticoat in the basement laundry and thrilling to the shame of wearing it? I even buried my boy clothes in the backyard. I dunno, really!, maybe I was genetically predisposed and all that was just a chance to express. The shaming was intense and I loved it. The shame has a flavor and an orangish color. I was both paralyzed and super excited at the same time.
You women here are so smart that you probably can figure this out! I’m shaking and nervous.
1.) I wouldn’t at all been surprised!!!
2.)Wow it seems like you had a sexy, sensational synesthesia experience! What a fun adventure to relive in a mistress led meditation. 😉
