Sam Moskowitz claimed that attendees of NyCon I, the first Worldcon, would experience this sensation. He either didn't realize or had forgotten that this was the description of the sexual pleasures the Salome promised the Wandering Jew the next time they met in My First 2000 Years: An Autobiography of the Wandering Jew (by George Sylvester Viereck and Paul Eldridge, 1928).
From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959

(Moskowitz) SaM claimed that attendees at the NYCon I would enjoy this sensation, tho he didn't mean it as it was originally used in "My First 2000 Years". In that story the Wandering Jew pursued the equally immortal Wandering Jewess thru two millennia in order to enjoy the aforesaid u.p.i.p. and her, tho this ultimate objective does not prevent him from stopping off at numerous other places en route.
