<\/a>Sex is a taboo subject for most societies and many families. Orgasm fares even worse. It is a sensation that, as per, Hindu scriptures is the closest replica of the state of total Union with the Infinite. When the body and mind are in a suspended point and something beyond takes control. But to talk of sex and orgasm is a \u201cbad thing\u201d.<\/p>\nNow in such a backdrop, many go through life without ever even getting acquainted with an orgasm. Of course, most of these never end up having a Union with Infinite either! So, they have never known that sensation.<\/p>\n
However, there are some women who have a strange health disorder. It is called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS)<\/em> also known as Persistent genital arousal disorder (P.G.A.D.).<\/em> By this disorder, these women have multiple orgasms \u2013 hundreds actually \u2013 in a day. One woman had 5 orgasms in 40 minutes, while another had 3 orgasms back to back.<\/p>\nIt would seem as if this is due to or related to increased sexual drive (nymphomania or satyriasis), but it is not. Any woman could be afflicted with it \u2013 young or old, premenopausal or using postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy, married or single<\/em>.<\/p>\nThe situation is as if one is having a sexual arousal without the drive or awareness of a sexual desire \/ provocation.<\/p>\n
The main distinguishing features of PSAS are:<\/p>\n
\u2013 The physiological responses characteristic of sexual arousal (genital and breast vasocongestion and sensitivity) persist for an extended period (hours to days), and do not subside completely on their own.
\n\u2013 The signs of physiologic arousal do not resolve with ordinary orgasmic experience, and may require multiple orgasms over hours or days to remit.
\n\u2013 These physiologic signs of arousal are usually experienced as unrelated to any subjective sense of sexual excitement or desire.
\n\u2013 The persistent sexual arousal may be triggered not only by sexual activity, but also by seemingly nonsexual stimuli or no apparent stimulus at all.
\n\u2013 The physiologic signs of persistent arousal are experienced as uninvited, intrusive, and unwanted.<\/p>\n
Victims and Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\nThese experiences can be very distressing for the victims, although at first for some it is fairly enjoyable. Like Sarah Carmen, 24<\/strong>, a British woman, recounts her early experience when it all started at age 19, after she took anti-depressants:<\/p>\n\u201cWithin a few weeks I just began to get more and more aroused more and more of the time and I just kept having endless orgasms. It started off in bed where sex sessions would last for hours and my boyfriend would be stunned at how many times I would orgasm. Then it would happen after sex. I\u2019d be thinking about what we\u2019d done in bed and I\u2019d start feeling a bit flushed, then I\u2019d become aroused and climax. In six months I was having 150 orgasms a day-and it has been as many as 200.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Sarah is a hair stylist and small things like whirring of hairdryers and skincare gadgets can turn her on and start the affliction.<\/p>\n

\nHeather Dearmon, 34<\/strong>, of South Carolina, is a stay-at-home mom was just 21 and pregnant when it started. First they thought it was because of the pregnancy. But then even after the birth of her son, it didn\u2019t stop. Soon, her life became a living hell.<\/p>\nDoctors, including psychiatrists, couldn\u2019t come up with an answer for Dearmon, either. She became suicidal. \u201cMy whole life had been altered. I couldn\u2019t even go out to lunch with friends,\u201d she said. \u201cTo achieve three consecutive orgasms takes a long time. I felt my whole life being robbed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There is no particular treatment as yet. Some women try to take care of it by having increased sexual activity. Michelle Thompson, 43<\/strong>, a single Mom, for example, has had relationships with men where most of them gave up and were tired but couldn\u2019t keep up with her demands. Finally she is said for have found her guy who is as eager to indulge as she is. And he happens to be her neighbor, Andrew Carr, 32. Both of them can make love 10 times a day.<\/p>\n\u201cAndrew has changed my life. I\u2019m no longer looking for a cure for my orgasms \u2013 I\u2019ve found it,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So, instead of fighting it, Michelle chose to enjoy it.<\/p>\n
However, that is not the cure. For most others, its a long wait till someone finds a real cure!<\/p>\n
