Is it normal for someone to have a sick feeling when aroused?

When i was young and first started exploring my body or simply thinking about sexual things, i would feel sick almost..like when you drive over a hill to fast. It isn't necessarily a bad feeling but i would still describe it as a sick feeling.

I am an adult now. I rarely got that feeling in the past years. But just recently i felt it while exploring some slightly more "taboo" sexual acts.

Is It Normal?

  • What you describe sounds like nausea, which is a physical reaction to an unpleasant stimulus. You need to explore exactly what it is that is making you feel sick and why. You said it was "taboo" acts. I've seen people who are aroused by all kinds of bizarre things, so you shouldn't judge yourself. Even if you're a pedophile or beastophile, they're only wrong if you act on them. Hope this helps.

    • Perhaps it is anxiety from something new?
      I don't feel anything was wrong/bad and I don't judge myself for any of it.

  • A hormone called Noradrenaline (NA) gets released when we are aroused, scared or encounter novelty. The noradrenergic system widely innervates the brain and influences brain regions involved in mediating what's call the fight of flight response. Generally speakings, when we are surprised or scared the brain has to make a fast (ms-sec) response to either flee or engage the source of our fear/surprise. In situations with high levels of perceived vulnerability (public speaking, first dates, combat) our NA system gets primed because we interpret our situation as threatening. The priming response in the brain causes secondary peripheral responses in the body including: increased perspiration (sweating), increase heart rate, increased respiration, dilation of the pupils,and increased rigidity of musculature. So I guess that this is perfectly fine, especially because it's mostly your first few times of doing something, for someone that is doing sexual stuff like you.

  • I think as long as you find it enjoyable, it's not a problem. It's kind of like getting that sick feeling on a roller coaster, but it feels good at the same time.

  • I get that sick feeling when I rub or squeeze my nipples for more than 5 seconds, so I never touch them..

    • I hope you let your boyfriend suck them. I would think he would want to make you feel good about being a woman.

  • When I get extremely aroused I sometimes get a "sick" feeling for a moment or two. Not like nausea, though - like a feverish feeling. If I don't get off soon, the feeling may come and go a bit, but once I get off it goes away.

  • Perhaps could come from upbringing, ie: touching yourself is bad. Doing certain things are taboo, bad, your will burn in hell type of things.
