Some people get “skin orgasms” when they hear certain music.

The experience is called frisson (pronounced free-sawn), a French term meaning “aesthetic chills,” and it feels like waves of pleasure running all over your skin. Some researchers have even dubbed it a ‘skin orgasm.

‘Listening to emotionally moving music is the most common trigger of frisson, but some feel it while looking at beautiful artwork, watching a particularly moving scene in a movie, or having physical contact with another person.

Studies have shown that roughly two-thirds of the population feels frisson, and frisson-loving Reddit users have even created a page to share their favorite frisson-causing media. But why do some people experience frisson and not others?

    I’ve had goosebumps before. Usually, it’s not music that causes it.

      I know, sometimes it’s just air temperature.

        For me, rubbing my fingertips on suede does it. And if that’s an orgasm, I’ve been getting off a hell of a lot more than I ever realized…

    I thought I was a wee bit crazy getting that sensation when listening to
    Gloria Estafan…
    I listen to alot of music and still get “frisson” (often to the same songs).
