Why does my penis seem to flicker before I orgasm?

It’s probably related to blood flow and ejaculation. The muscles and vessels in the groin are programmed to be efficient at “shooting” semen out with orgasm, which can cause the testicles to be pulled into the body and other muscles to flex or spasm. So muscle contraction as well as some alterations in blood flow may be responsible for the flickering sensation that you feel.
