Yes, I experience it. It usually happens when watching massage videos and things like that.

I would guess OP means this, which I've never heard of before. Learn something new everyday I guess.

Yep, that's what he's talking about. It's such a great sensation. I could just watch things that trigger the feeling for hours, it's so relaxing.

Oh, I had no idea that that was what it was called.

You learn something new every day.

I actually find touch, specifically of my hands, head or back, will trigger this response, as will sounds. It's weird, because I normally hate it when people touch me casually or without warning.
