I've wondered whether to post this for a while, thinking it a bit personal...but you all are family, so here goes.

Over the past 12 months or so, I've been intermittently experiencing a very different sensation during orgasm...and I want to know if this is "normal."

I'll be fine during the build-up, but when the O actually happens, there is a "pinching" feeling, sometimes varying in intensity, in my uterus. It lasts throughout the orgasm. I still have all the good feelings associated with the orgasm, but this "pinching" -- which sometimes feels stronger than others and can occasionally be somewhat painful -- overlies the good stuff.

This happens about a third to a half of the time I orgasm. Often I'll have this feeling straight for a week, and then it will leave for a few days, only to come back. No correlation with "that time of the month" that I can see, as I just had it last night and I was in day 11 of my cycle.

When the orgasm is over, the pinching stops and everything is back to normal. The feeling ONLY occurs during the actual orgasm...which is kind of annoying. It's like a bad ending to a very good movie.

So...what do you think, ladies? Is this normal, or unusual? Should I see the doc immediately? Mention it at my next annual?

Thanks for any advice...I've been puzzled. This has been occuring for about 6 months, and I am a bit worried....

Make a call to your Dr. It could just be the ligaments attached to your uterus. How long have you been off your RA meds?

not quite 4 months, but I've been weaning myself off for about 2 years.

Interesting (and much less alarming) thought that it might be ligaments. Maybe I need to exercise my uterus more! Thanks for the advice, Lil.

(damn, something else to exercise)

does it matter if you are having intercourse or if masturbating?

Pregnancy?

I'm more likely to notice while masturbating, but it has happened during sex. <sigh> What a mood killer!

Thanks for the advice, ladies. I'm never sure when I'm being an hypochondriac and when I should honestly worry.
