This feeling is caused by the sense of balance. Using a sensitive automatic three-dimensional fluid-based balancing sensor in the inner-ear, the body automatically compensates for movement. It also is predictive in that, once a regular motion has become established, it does not wait for the movement and act in a reactive manner, but, rather, it is pro-active and actually attunes itself before the action!

This happens, for example, when running. What you see doesn't keep bobbing up and down, but the balancing mechanism not only controls movement of the limbs but is also linked to the eye, and they automatically move up and down, as in were, so that what you actually see looks constant and steady.

This is fine when moving, but when a regular motion suddeny stops, such as stepping off a boat that has been in choppy waters for a long time, the balancing organ might still be compensating for movement even though the movement has actually ceased!

This is what is happening after doing a lot of swimming. It could be called 'motion compensation continuance.' or 'motion compensation over-run', or simply 'a slight dizziness'!

What does it feel like to be turned on?

Hey, I am no Doctor but i can help you with this. First if you are a girl, how you will feel when you are turned on, is you will feel a tingle or a adrenaline rush go through out your body and feel the same way on your vagina, and you will also start to get very hot or feel a warm down in that spot, and then after these stages you will develop a thing called vaginal lubricate which is when your vagina starts to get wet. If you are a boy, when you start to get turned on you will feel a adrenaline rush go through out your body and go back down towards your penis, but as your penis is erecting such as called boner it feels lets say very good as its lifting up, and it makes you want to touch it and start to masturbate. But after having the feeling of being turned on go ahead and get to business but i prefer not to have sex, to me oral sex such as touching and physical mouth sex. But have fun! i hope this advice helped you!!


Why do you feel hungry and thirsty after you are active?

You have lost most of the glycogen during your physical activity. Body does not want to spend the reserve fat. So you feel hungry. You have lost much water in perspiration and through extra ventilation. So the body fluid becomes hypertonic. That draws water out of thirst centre cells. So you feel thirsty.

How is weightlessness different from swimming?

Weightlessness means having little or no weight; not experiencing the effects of gravity. The difference between weightlessness and swimming is that during swimming you feel your weight less but you still have weight, you are still being subject to the same amount of gravity. Your weight and gravity are what is keeping you in the water.
