   First let me define a perineum click.   A perineum click   
   is a contraction of my perineum area muscles accompanied   
   simultaneously by a moving together of my upper   
   thigh muscles.   Without the thigh muscle movement   
   it is just a contraction, not a click.   
      
   Beginning in spring 1996 I began using the perineum   
   click for ideomotor divination by thinking of a   
   question and then ranging through a number of answers   
   (the simplest being yes/no) until I got a click   
   after the supposed correct answer.   Also in some   
   cases I get a spontaneous click and then divine   
   (by further clicks) what the spontaneous click   
   means.  (I think that is how it started.)   
      
   But such divination has rarely led to anything   
   productive and at times when I blindly believed it   
   it has led to delusions or in the extreme, psychosis.   
   So these days I am trying to avoid such divination   
   and ignore most spontaneous clicks.  This appears   
   to be working in that I am having fewer   
   spontaneous clicks these days.  I am also   
   skeptical of the divination results, and I   
   don't recommend it as a divination method.   
      
   I think the perineum clicks are related to   
   Kundalini and may be a connection to my deities,   
   most likely ALL and/or Gaia.  But if so, they   
   are testing me rather than spoonfeeding me.   
      
   I have mentioned the perineum clicks to my   
   psychiatrist before but he didn't think I needed   
   to bring them up with a neurologist.  (I saw   
   a neurologist on a different matter a while ago   
   but I can't remember if I brought up the clicks   
   with him.)   
      
   Have you come across anyone else who experiences   
   these perineum clicks?  (I think the tale of   
   Myrddin talking to a little piggy in the forest   
   might have been him talking to his perineum.)   
   Also do you think I should bring it up with   
   a neurologist?  It isn't bothering me much these days.   
      
   I am currently on 900 mg lithium carbonate all at   
   bedtime (for a level of about 0.7) and 10 mg   
   olanzapine at bedtime.  The clicks were not   
   reduced in number from when I was on just lithium   
   to when I was on both lithium and olanzapine.   
      
   I will bring up the subject again with my psychiatrist   
   when I see him again.   But unfortunately due to   
   illness his office is closed for an extended period   
   and I am being monitored by my family doctor.  Luckily   
   my mental health is fairly good (though I tend to   
   be more eccentric online than in my dealings with   
   other people offline).   
      
   Some of my experiences are outlined on my   
   Salmon on the Thorns web page (see below).
