Emotional orgasms

Yes. Orgasms, but ones that have nothing to do with sex whatsoever.

So, uhm, let me explain. My girlfriend, who's actually a member from here, lives far away from me. We plan on joining up next year for a few months and then we would move in together permanently the next year. It might sound arrogant to say that, but we're soul mates, literally. At the very least, we're both convinced that we are.

So you can imagine the distance causes a lot of longing. I don't know how much of a role HRT plays in this, but ever since we became a couple (actually, ever since our friendship gradually started to evolve), I've been gradually growing more emotionally sensitive when it comes to her.

Last week, after not having talked to her for a whole day, I was missing her a lot, and she told me she had missed me too, that she loved me and described me a cute little hug she would like to do to me. Imagining that felt so intensely good that I moaned, then started to pant heavily for several minutes, almost hyperventilating.

Then yesterday, after having felt tired and a little weird (complicated to explain) for a while, also feeling very happy for her and in love with her, since it was her first evening after getting a haircut, makeover and eyebrow epilation, her first evening of truly looking girly...

Well, after all that, as I still felt a little weird/sensitive from that complicated-to-explain thing, and also from watching the now-even-more-wonderful her on webcam, we thought I should get some rest, and her too, since it was even later for her. I told her good night with the usual (but oh so honest) love words, and she replied "Good night, love of my life <3".

And then lightning struck me. I already knew that in the bottom of my heart and it was far from the first time I'd heard it, but it was like I had just learned it, just realised it. I was the love of her life. I put my hands on my heart as I repeatedly panted/moaned/sighed, and it grew more and more intense. I felt so incredibly good, yet almost completely paralysed, with that strong feeling of pinching heart in my chest, and that hundred-fold amplified "love butterflies in the belly" feeling, growing, and coming by waves. My mind was completely blank except for her. That was such an intense, overly pleasing, yet such a pure feeling.

I am serious when I say those were by far the most intense fifteen minutes of my life. And afterwards, it was over half an hour until I could muster the strength to get up from my computer chair.

And over the rest of the evening, over the next hour, whenever I thought of her (which was tens of times), I got a "reminder" of it, a bit like subsequent tremors after an earthquake. Less intense, but each time I was once again stunned as though struck by lightning, moaning and my mind emptied of anything but her.

I've never felt a true orgasm - my dysphoria with my parts is way too strong to allow me that - but how that felt... It felt pretty close to what I imagine a true, intense orgasm to be. Except there was little to no feeling around the crotch whatsoever.

But it appears my body did react to this as to an orgasm, a little. Since starting HRT, I always have a tiny bit of slightly smelly leaks down there (no worries about that, I actually asked the endo and it's no worry at all), more so if I feel arousal, and when I went to the toilet that night, it was a little wet as though I'd been aroused. But I had not been aroused. My love for her is not sexual, and even though I do sometimes feel some (theoretical, because of dysphoria) such physical attraction towards her, those thoughts did not even cross my mind at that moment.

This morning, and this evening, as well, I had two more such experiences, albeit much less intense and much shorter.

Today, we both searched the phenomenon out of curiosity (because that's not just peculiar, it's pretty unreal), and the only thing we found was this:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Emotional%20orgasm

So I wanted to ask... Have you ever heard of something like this? Have you felt it? Do you have a read I could use to understand this better? Because I really want to learn more about that undescribingly wonderful experience.

Yep, you're in love. Wait till you are in the same physical space; it gets better.

It's not an orgasm. It's just... I dunno. Love. The physical sensation of being in love with someone. Basically a massive ton of chemicals being released by your body to make you feel good. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_basis_of_love)

Sigh. I miss that.

I actually felt something similar to that once. One of my best friends who I so happen to be in love with left on a vacation for a couple of weeks. We hang out a lot, but he doesn't know how I feel and I won't tell him until after my transition since he's a hetero. The point is, he called me on the phone one night. Neither of us likes talking to people on phones for long periods, so we stopped after 10 minutes. After the call, I felt flustered and before I knew it, 20 minutes had passed like they were 20 seconds.

I know it comes from love, but it's so intense, so sudden... And it has such a strong physical effect. I mean, I've been head over heels about her for almost two months now, and it's just appeared last week... When nothing all that special happened. I mean, I did feel all sorts of things since, but. Uhm. This is -heck- of an exponential curve.

I feel there's something more to look for... It's hard to believe that it's just a "standard" effect of love and longing...

 Is that what love feels like?

Good lord. I'm laughing out loud now - I suppose I have to admit that I've never loved anyone, if that is how it's supposed to feel. I have never experienced physical symptoms like you are describing, though I had thought that I had loved a few people in my life.

I can't imagine ever feeling something like that, though I suppose it's all well and good. I'm not very successful when it comes to love, nor am I good at it. I am, however, very skilled at emulating it and its actions - in fact, I am quite an amazing actress. However, the very fact that it is an act is what ultimately brings my relationships to an end. There are some things that are required to be genuine in order to work out.

My love was probably a philosophical attraction, coupled with the need for friendship - and since I haven't had many friends, my interpretation of friendship has been very poor, and therefore the actions produced were disproportionate to the feelings felt, and the relationship built.

Things make substantially more sense in that light. I guess my loves were mistakes - overstated friendship, misinterpreted as love.

Now I just have to figure out if I am capable of passionate love, as described, or if I am only capable of compassionate love, as I know I am for some people.

I don't think this is much of a question of capability - I really don't think I have much to do with those unreal experiences. It's mostly a matter of meeting the one right person.

We were both just really lucky - we both thought we would end up with guys; she's my first (and last, the way I see it) relationship and I'm her second one. Neither of us has ever felt anything like this for anyone else. Mind you, apart from her, unless I'm driven there by some intense confrontation, I'm not nearly as emotional. Rather boring and stern, actually.

And as to the "orgasms", I still don't understand either. I don't believe I love her any more than she loves me, but she doesn't get them. Maybe it's just that she's more patient and I long for her here and now more. No idea. I've never heard of a similar experience from anyone, either.

That's why I was asking. I know I love her, all right, but I hope to understand the phenomenon.

Sounds like an Orgasm to me.  The brain is the real sex organ, and controls  our body's reactions, even if automatically.  Thanks to learning to meditate for pain relief after a spinal injury I can sometimes get in total synch with my body, and achieve a full-body, female type orgasm with all sorts of stimulation.   ::)
Best yet is from stroking a finger, or my right eyelid very lightly.  I have heard of getting there from the sensations of breathing, which sounds a bit  like your experience. Nice. ;D

That's why sex with REAL love is better than anything. You mind becomes fixated with your loved one and the physical pleasure just adds to it, creating this magical thing that some are lucky to experience.
Be kind to me,
or treat me mean...
I'll make the most of it,
I'm an extraordinary machine
