Physiology & Medicine / Re: Is it common or useful to be able to control goosebumps, and pulse, at will?

Wow, finally - it seems like all the people who can do this gather here and only here. Because so far, I couldn't find anything anywhere else (especially not in the german speaking places).
So it is not that uncommon (well, at least about 20 people answered).
I too can control goosebumps, do it whenever I want. It doesn't matter how my emotions are, whether I breathe or not, I can do it underwater and in the aiplane, whatever. Jolyon desribed it perfectly in posting number 19.
What I just realised was, that the "other things" he talks about I can do too but only to a limited degree. Controling pulse and "increase blood pressure" or send blood to my limbs does also work but it requires quite a bit of concentration. Never in my 30 years of living I thought this was anything special/to notice but I'll try to get "better" at it. The goosebumps-thing is around ever since I can think about, it just took a while until I realised its unusual (about primary school when guys were taking about special things to give each other goosebumps and I was like "wtf? what for? just do it the normal way?".
The only thing I know from myself is, that the effect wears off if I do it severel times within short time like every 5-10 seconds. It gets harder to do it and it stays shorter. And I cannot do it on just one part of my body.
I'd also love to know any results by the research off _TheQuantumWreck_
