orgasms sometimes appear completely out of the blue
It might seem crazy but some women suffer from the opposite of Female Sexual Dysfunction and actually have a problem with too much sexual function which can drive them crazy and makes it impossible for them to live normally. The condition which has been named Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder or PGAD by the medical world is said to be terrible to live with despite some women thinking that orgasms all the time might actually be something they want.
In some of the cases the women have orgasms that last for several minutes which can be triggered by such things as the vibrations of being in a car but sometimes appear completely out of the blue and cause them significant distress, embarrassment and awkwardness. In some cases the women attempt to relieve themselves by masturbating or having sex but normally this a only provides a temporary relief and can in some cases actually make the problem worse.
The condition of Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder was first named and properly medicalised in 2001 but obviously women have been suffering from this condition for millennia. The embarrassing nature of it means that very few women actually report it and instead live with their guilty secret. There is not much that can be done if you suffer from PGAD at present but some treatments involving electroconvulsive therapy, stretching exercises and the use of medications which have Female Sexual Dysfunction as a side effect have been effective.
At Ukmedix News we believe that a lot can be learned from these women who have these continuous orgasms and scientists should study them carefully to see what they have which makes them different from other women in the hope that they will be able to identify how to increase sexual desire in women.
It is not known how many women actually suffer from PGAD but in recent years more and more women have confessed to having it. Most women go through their lives not telling anyone about it and it is hoped that more women will come forward and talk about the problem.

I am a psychologist and sex therapist. PGAD is a real disorder that has little to do with sexual pleasure. It is something like a pain disorder, where the original stimulus for the pain is gone but the message keeps going. I can't imagine why you would study women who are suffering in order to learn how to increase desire.

I don't know if this along the same line but. I had libia reduction surgery and was given pain medication postop and ever since I cannot wear panties or any type of material to where I become very aroused to the point and beyond orgasm. I used to go to the gym and between that and my workout wear I nearly embarrass myself. I now wear skirts and dresses w/o panties and sometimes have to change my walk becuase that would set me off. This is driving me nuts my husband left thinking something is wrong with me.
