Is it normal to feel increased arousal when thinking of this?
I find that if I think of times in my life when I was hurt emotionally (such as being neglected by friends, family or partners or never being told "I love you" in return when I said it to a partner), I get the weirdest feeling. It's a combination of heartache and a strange "arousal" that causes my whole body to tingle. I then like to imagine being with a partner who loves me and nobody else and isn't afraid to say it. I usually end up touching myself and achieving orgasm easily this way. I can achieve multiple orgasms just through imagining this other half caressing me and being a shield for all that has caused me pain in the past. I feel them bringing me to higher and higher plains of ecstasy and melting pleasure through my own hands and body heat. Whenever I'm upset it's an easy way for me to feel calmer.
It sounds crazy, I know. Apart from this though I have no other weird sexual quirks. I'm a bit confused and wondering if it's normal or not.
I do have a boyfriend and in no way is he abusive, so I'm not lonely. I just understand why this happens to me.
