Sexuality

[tenet_2012]

Michelle Thompson's life is one big climax - for a rare condition called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS) means she has up to 300 orgasms a day.

Here, she tells of the pleasures and problems of being in constant ecstasy.

Gripping her mop tightly, Michelle lets out a gentle sigh, then carries on cleaning her kitchen floor. She says: "I know having an orgasm while doing your housework seems odd to most people. "But to me, climaxing while doing the chores is just part of everyday life.

"In fact I can pretty much climax anywhere, any time, which might sound like a lot of fun but it has its downsides — it can be incredibly embarrassing, for one.

It wasn't until Michelle was 37 that she saw a TV documentary about a woman with the same symptoms she had and realised her constant tinglings were more than just a very high sex drive.

It was at this point, in January last year, that she decided to seek professional help. Within months her PSAS had been diagnosed at a specialist clinic.

Michelle says: "There is no treatment for it but I have become very good at disguising it, when I have an orgasm in public. "I giggle and blush to cover it up. but I've had my When Harry Met Sally moments too.

"My most embarrassing was last year when I was in a supermarket and an in-store salesman wouldn't leave me alone. "Suddenly I got that feeling and knew I was going to have an orgasm. I tried to make my excuses and leave but he just wouldn't go away so I climaxed there and then in front of him. "You should have seen the look on his face."

Dr. Carol Cooper says: "Persistent sexual arousal syndrome is extremely rare and I have seen it only once in nearly 30 years in the medical profession. It puts the sufferer in a state of constant arousal where anything and everything triggers strong sexual urges followed swiftly by an orgasm."

My patient with the condition had to relieve herself many times a day. And because she had to leave her desk to use the loo at work to do this, she found it impossible to hold down a job.

The cause of PSAS has not yet been established. But it must be something in the part of the brain called the limbic system which controls pleasure and sexual function. Although there is no cure, psychological treatments can help modify the symptoms and enable sufferers and their other halves to cope.

As Michelle discovered, it's not easy to find a partner who can handle the syndrome. The apparent large sex drive can make the man feel sexually dominated. But some conditions similar to PSAS do have a serious cause. One young woman with an insatiable desire for sex went through hundreds of men before she was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The tumour was small but it was growing on the part of the brain that receives signals from the genitals, so she was permanently turned on. There are also some women who have abnormally high levels of testosterone. This is a male sex hormone but normal women have small amounts of it. If they didn't, they would have no sex drive. But if levels are too high the pursuit of sex and orgasms becomes a perpetual preoccupation. This also sometimes happens with tumours of the ovary.

As for Michelle, she seems to have a severe form of the condition and I am surprised she is so happy with it as it can make normal life impossible.
For sufferers, psychosexual help is available via GP referral. You could also seek help from GUM (genito-urinary medicine) clinics where no referral is needed and you can make an appointment directly.

Ummm... poor lady.

I bet it gets old after awhile. I'd post a source but there are nude pics involved.

I did not write this

You can survive with an artificial heart, but it's rather uncomfortable.

You can survive without emotions and without love, too. And you can sure as hell survive without sex.

But, surviving without sex is frustrating.

And surviving without emotions and without love makes you so miserable that the survival itself becomes pointless.

Of course, if you wish to spend your life being miserable, that's your own business.

I myself am not that sensitive there. I like them to be tweaked and sucked, but it's not something that can make me even CLOSE to hot.

Same here. My breasts are much more sensitive than my nipples.

I've heard that breasts and nipples become much more sensitive after having babies. Somebody knows more about that (not that I'd have a baby just to get more sensitive nipples )?

[DarkIce]

Mmmkay. Geisha. Being male I personally don´t get very hot if she tweaks or sucks my nipples. So I seem not to be very sensitive there.
Maybe it depends on the situation or you have to make it a regular part of the game to fully enjoy it, perhaps. (Training makes perfect? Huh?)

And yeah for real boobies! A pic or video can´t substitute the smell, feel and taste of real boobies.

[angel011]

DarkIce, I'm not sure your nipples not being sensitive has something to do wtih you being male. Not that I know MANY guys with sensitive nipples, but my first boyfriend had more sensitive nipples than I did, and it wasn't because of training, since I was the first girl he slept with.

[DarkIce]

Well, I guess if you were the one to "break his cherry" then ALL and EVERYTHING you did to him made him drool and excited as hell. Pretty sure - if you would have chewd his toes or earlaps, he would have liked it too :-)

That is so wierd!

Tenet, nothing weird about it. The phrase for the female equivilent of "jacking off", Jilling Off has been used for years. I adored it the first time I heard it ... I think it's cute!

You just made ma laugh, and after some irritating problems at work. Thanks, you're a wonderful person.

[Sanctus Dei]

Hey Sobeh, would it be unacceptable to tell you I love you?

Brilliant, fucking brilliant.

Yay for BOOBIES!!!

Xng, here's, my thought's on your question... Pictured boobies are ment for lazy people... Live boobies are for people with no boobies or are bored with the boobies at home.. and home boobies are for the intelligent peoples who found a way to have home boobies.

Yes?

[Sobeh]

I can't decide if a boob in the hand is worth two in the bush or not...

Wait! I'm confused, are we talking about boobies or bush now? Of course it depends on which bush and how many hands. I prefer one on each!

Umm...*raises hand*

I can get sooo hot just from feeling the pressure of my bra on my nipples. And if the bra I'm wearing happens to be delicate enough to feel my shirt though, all the better. My nipples get hard many, many times throughout the day. They're not sensitive enough to feel little flicks of the tongue. There has to be some form of pressure. I've always wondered what hot wax would feel like on them...or nipple claps, mmmmm...


Tenet, 'Jilling Off' is a feminist term for masturbation, as I understand it. I just call it jacking off. But I'm thinking of the term more in terms of say..... a jackhammer than a guy named 'Jack' masturbating. So I'm not offended by the term 'jacking off'.

I do think it's funny to say 'jilling off' though, since there's no such thing as a jillhammer.

I thought I'd warned the board before, but in case I hadn't yet, I do so now:

Don't Feed the Grad Student.

=) Pleased to have been able to contribute.

As for boobies, I guess I'm one of the ones who figured out a way to have some at home. Go me?

As for the quality of boobage, one thing is that now that I have some at home, I have to limit myself those, or perhaps rendered images of said fleshy protuberances, lest the 'home set' decide to leave, and take my gentle bits with them!

[Empty_Purple_Stars]

My uhh "rendered image" boobie collection is < greater than my Wht. Boi's "rendered image" boobie collection.

When we get the rare chance to go out somewhere "grown up", I am always the one pointing out the Yummiest Mammaries..

Plus he got some delectable Asian Porn from me for Valentine's Day!!

Yay for Boobies!!

Now I will resume pouting that no one liked the Asshat I made for Icarius yesterday..



*sniffle*

[Icarian Decoding]

Wait...
You made me an ass hat? Or you made me an ass hat? Cuz' that can mean two things.
And it's ICARIAN
Not Icarus, Not Icky, Not Icarius, Not Incarne, Not Chucky-Fucking Cheese
ICARIAN!

[Empty_Purple_Stars]

Icky it is then..

I like it..

Quite catchy.

Thanks for simplifying it for me..

[angel011]

I second that. Icky sounds just fine.

That reminds me of the band Jack of Jill, that makes so much more sense now...

And my last ex-girlfriend had such sensitive nipples, I could turn her on just by looking at them... ok, that is not entirely true, but some slight strokes and the fun began... :P

[Icarian Decoding]

Jilling off sounds like you're about to kill someone. I can see a big mobster going "Let's Jill this guy".

[Sanctus Dei]

Sorry EPS, I enjoyed your Crispy Fried response..(especially the "Flying for Dummies bit... pure brilliance) But I just got bored with the whole subject... went on way to long and was stupid before it began. Besides after the third or fourth nonsensical response from icky I just assumed him an idiot savant... or perhaps retarded.. so I chose to discontinue my defense and ignore the remaining responses especially considering my/our opponent foolishly attempted to fight the war unarmed.

[Icarian Decoding]

You guys are going to keep this going on for a while aren't you?
Just let me know now. Are you going to be satisfied knowing you somehow think you've won, or can I expect more and more attacks, using names such as stupid and retarded, just so you can feel better?

Nice try Sobeh, but that was directed at two different people. =)

Was that post intended for you? No. It was in response to a post by EPS. Am I keeping it up? No. I quit responding to your angsty inanity over 24 hours ago.

Satisfied.. no, how exactly do you assume I would be satisfied with a win in an argument I didn't fight? Never once did I state that "I won" anything.

Stupid and retarded.. Yep, I did say that... and I may just add illiterate to the list.

And last, what in the hell gives you the ego to assume your existence is influential enough to me that degrading you has the capability to make me "feel better"??
Mighty presumptuous of you mister important pants.

Was that post intend for you? No. It was a question to the general public? Did I ever once mention your name? No. I didn't. It was implied to a slight degree perhaps, but I didn't make you a direct target.

Satisfied.. no, how exactly do you assume I would be satisfied with a win in an argument I didn't fight? Never once did I state that "I won" anything.

My deepest apologies. When I see someone, label another "idiot savant", by name, my mind suddenly comes to the conclusion, that said person, thinks they are superior to the other. I am so sorry.

Stupid and retarded.. Yep, I did say that... and I may just add illiterate to the list.
See. Victory.

And last, what in the hell gives you the ego to assume your existence is influential enough to me that degrading you has the capability to make me "feel better"??

Correct me if I am wrong. Now, when one degrades another, it promotes superiority correct? Therefore, by you degrading me with "Stupid, Retarded, Illiterate, and a idiot savant", along with saying that I gave "the third or fourth nonsensical response", and then ignoring me, you are thereby making yourself superior. Which, last time I checked, makes one feel generally better.
