This is happened every instance of fellatio in my life. I do not have diabetes, I weigh 180lbs and am 5' 10", I do not take any medication regularly, except NSAIDs for the occasional headache and fexophenadine for allergies. I have no allergies other than plant pollen and dust mites. I am in general good physical condition, and exercise regularly at the gym. I have no known underlying medical conditions and have no history of neuropathy or neuropathic pain in my family.
This is occurred several times since my 20s. During fellatio I experience tingling followed by moderate numbness which ascends from the tips of my fingers through my forearms and into my chest. This tingling feels like high-pressure water hitting my skin from the inside. It is not painful, but it is uncomfortable. As the tingling ascends my arms, my fingers are gradually pulled backward into a very stiff and difficult to move state. They can still be moved, with some difficulty, and fine motor control is reduced. My arms still work when this happens. This state lasts five minutes following climax, then gradually disappears over the course of 1 to 2 minutes. I do not notice any change in mental state. This has happened several times, and ONLY when receiving fellatio. It does NOT occur during normal sex or masturbation.
I swear I am not making this up.

Hello
Thank You for getting back with the answers. I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. First of all, you do not need to swear. I understand that you get tingling sensation during fellatio. It has been reported that some people can go so far as to pass out, or go silent for minutes/ unable to speak or move. Some of this may be due to low blood pressure, and some can be attributed to the blood supply being "diverted" to the sex organs. In some cases, it really is pin and needles from someone laying on top of somebody's arm or "squishing" part of their partner's body enough to block off or slow the blood through an artery. It can also result as a result of nerve compression. In general, I would say not to worry, if this is the only time that you experience this. we could go further for workup IF such problem occur in your normal daily routine and effecting it. So for now i would recommend you not to focus on this and continue with your normal daily routine.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
