I have granular control of tensor tympani and ear muscles

I can’t do voluntary piloerection, but if I contract muscle at base of skull/behind eyes I get sensation similar to hard side eye or free falling. Used it a lot as a kid in imaginary scenarios to fly around etc.

If I contract that last muscle while slightly pulling back my ears & pulsating tensor tympani, it’s like I’m forcing adrenaline and I get a sensation that’s difficult to describe without being inappropriate

Was a pretty wimpy kid in group home so I used this for mental gymnastics & weird controlled fight or flight response.

Does anyone else do something like this or am I cooked 😭 I got a couple examples where I’m forcing some physical sensation thats basically tied to an emotion to force said emotional state

whole immediate family can move ear but nobody knows what I’m talking about with the freefall stuff. If I don’t move around athletically I feel really disconnected. I love martial arts

  • I have also done lucid dreaming since young and wonder if all the times I was flying in my dreams whether my body was doing this involuntarily.

  • I don’t even understand what you’re talking about now. You can rumble your ears but also make yourself feel like you’re falling which gives you a boner?
