Spontaneous Orgasms All Day Long

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.

I agree with Dr. Stephanie Buehler.
After hearing about this I did my own research on it and soon discovered that it indeed has nothing to do with sexual desire - that should be obvious as soon as you find out that it's embarrassing, as clearly the women don't desire it.
This article is frankly extremely ignorant and offensive - instead of wanting to study these women to find out why it happens and help them, you want to study them to find out about sexual desire in other women, even though spontaneous orgasms have nothing to do with sexual desire!
The people at ukmedix should wait until they finish secondary school before making websites like this.

I have this "problem" since I was a little girl, but consider it more like a gift because it is a life sweetener. If this an illness or a horrible disorder, well... sorry, but I do not want to be cured. :)

I have experienced this for that last sixteen years. I am 54, & have learned to live with it. I do have a fetish for my own feminism which I am sure has much to do with the level of arousal that I live & sleep with. I only have to feel good about myself to trigger full climaxing, which will often last for a couple of hours. I have to keep very clean & carry plenty of spares. I keep myself very trim & I have no other issues.

I've had this since delving into issues of past trauma (sexual trauma) And I find that mine are directly connected to anxiety and/or to particular physical postures in yoga or intense work-outs. It's not to the point of wanting to find a cure as much as find the meaning and purpose in it. It's obviously pleasurable to a point, ad in terms of dealing with anxiety it's replaced other unhealthy ways I used to cope. I drink less and feel more centered in general when I just let it run it's course. In the office, out for rinks, in yoga, dance, etc. I am able to release internally without anyone knowing what's going on. It's pretty awesome.

I have just returned from B'ham Q/E (what was the womens hospital) and at least have the knowledge that there are no nasties lurking around. My life style is so outgoing that I don't really want official poking around. I am more than ever, sure that it is my life style that has more to do with the way that I am, than anything to do with my anatomy. The only comment of note was that my cavity area is very small. I am somewhat introvert in that I love my own appearance both in private & public. I spend a lot of time keeping trim & a lot of money on my outward appearance, clothes & everything. It is as though I have a fetish for my self.
A concerned thinker said:
If spontaneous orgasm is painful for women, then it certainly should be treated as a problem. But if the main issue is one of embarrassment and shame, isn't it possible that this is more of a social matter? Clearly some women like having PGAD (some of whom posted comments on this article), so why do others not like it? I think that's an important question that we should be asking. In the meantime, I'm a little bit disturbed by the two posters who seem to look down on the idea that PGAD may be pleasurable for some women. Why make a woman feel ashamed of sexual arousal and pleasure. That's a variation of "sl*t-shaming," and by engaging in that kind of discourse, you make it even harder for the PGAD sufferers who are already ashamed.
