OK. Is this a studied phenomenon? It just feels normal to me, but my girlfriend is having much stronger reactions to it, like she's pleasuring herself. It's weird. (She has playfully used the term "ear orgasm"). Maybe there's a bundle of nerve ending beneath there.

On my side if I touch a specific spot in the left ear it makes me cough for some reason.

It seems weirdly taboo.

Using qtips for this purpose is supposed to be off label I've heard. Yet the trade goes on.
