No, just sharing an experience. Plus, even if it was advice, it would not just be for penis-having writers but all authors who can climax.
I didn't know vaginas cleared people's head too, what do you want me to do?

Have you guys ever felt true enlightenment during writing? It feels like you have truly combined with a character and see the world truly as it truly is through their eyes. There is a sense of ecstasy as you do it.
To give an example of what I mean by true enlightenment, one night, really struggling with the first chapter of one of my side stories, I just was not connecting with the main character. Then boom! I made an understanding with my MC, falling into their madness. Just imagine a kid rocking back and forth, absolutely off their rocker as they chilled within the characters' demented mind and world. Tongue lolling out and incessantly biting and scratching myself, I had fully submerged myself within the character. Dazed and heady with the rush of their insanity... it was beautiful! The words flowed onto the digital page, and the creativity was beyond just getting in the flow. Admittedly, it had a detrimental impact on my mental health for almost two weeks after because of the character it was with. My inclinations for self-harm far increased. My arms don't look as good as they used to. Oh well!
Enlightenment is one of my favorite things regardless! You guys experience it? What was it like?
To try and bring this back on topic and answer more seriously-

Yes. I have had several moments where I felt feelings when writing about my character's feelings. I've cried a few times, felt pretty angry a few others, and I've also accidentally made myself have flashbacks to some more intense moments of my life. It's a little spooky when it happens, but I live for the spook.

Sigh~
I messed up and I'm sorry.
I didn't want to derail the thread, a thread with an interesting topic often not explored.
My intention was to ask something I didn't know.
I think we should always seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge. But now I know that my actions has consequences.
