Some women do not even know what it feels like to have an orgasm. Others must exhaust ‘a stud’, squeezing him like a lemon for one. And some actually have one due to the slightest vibration, even the purr of a hairdryer, or the rhythmic drone of a photocopier. They can have even 300 spontaneous orgasms per day. “What a luck!” some would say.

But a new research reveals that women experiencing Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) also named Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), represented by spontaneous, unprovoked, intrusive and persistent sensations of genital arousal (often accompanied by breast congestion), with or without orgasm or genital engorgement/swelling/lubrication, unrelieved by one or several orgasms, but not connected to a higher sex drive (patients are annoyed by this arousal) are rather likely to experience psychological conditions than pleasure. PGAD has nothing to do with hypersexuality
(nymphomania).

These women report depression, panic attacks, shame, embarrassment, frustration, guilt, anxiety, isolation, feelings of helplessness, vulnerability and sadness, being awakened in the morning by hot flashes and a feeling of a lack of normality. PGAD patients often show a history of sexual victimization.

“Often, I’ll want to wear myself out by having as many orgasms as I can so they stop and I can get some peace. Sometimes I have so much sex to try to calm myself down I get bored of it. And men I sleep with don’t seem to make as much effort because I climax so easily.”, said one PGAD patient.

The physical arousal can be very intense and can last for days or weeks. Orgasm (caused by sex intercourse/masturbation) seldom causes temporary relief, but after several hours the symptoms come back. A partner coping with such sexual demands does not exist and he can feel himself dominated by such women. The syndrome can appear on “spot” areas, like deep inside the vagina, or in the clitoris area.

Moreover, the condition may be more common than initially thought, as hundreds of female subjects worldwide completed a comprehensive web-based survey asking PGAD women to respond. Researchers would like to correlate psychological, medical and pharmacological factors to this condition.
PGAD can affect a subject’s activity, impeding her to focus on daily tasks. Some situations, like riding in an automobile or train, mobile phone vibrations, alcohol consumption and even bath use can exacerbate the syndrome, turning it unbearable.

“Sitting is unbearable, sometimes causing pressure to orgasm. Standing is the only time I feel nothing. Sitting in a car is torture. The opening of the vagina is just as sensitive and a mere touch will bring me to orgasm. My husband is very sympathetic and relieves the terrible pressure anytime I ask. Those close to me that I’ve told about this at first think it’s funny and then realize that indeed it is not.”

“I was constantly feeling overwhelming sensations of sexual arousal, which were purely physical and not accompanied by romantic or sexual fantasies. Basically I felt the need to have repeated orgasms which was never relieved by normal orgasmic experience.” These are testimonies of PGAD patients.

The partner can feel frustration and confusion, being helpless in providing relief, isolation and lack of support from family and peers, frustration and anger.

You can imagine the way it affects social life and keeping a job is almost impossible. Nobody would like to have an employee that goes so often to the bathroom.

“The complaint of persistent genital arousal deserves serious research attention since it is accompanied by a considerable amount of psychological distress, and yet the cause and treatment remain undefined,” said senior author Dr. Sandra Leiblum, former President of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health.

“PGAD is most certainly not ‘all in the mind,’ and these women should be assessed thoroughly with empathy and careful attention to their symptoms and history. Although no physical illness or medication showed up as a cause of PGAD in this study, I would urge women to initially consult a sympathetic physician,” said co-author Dr. David Goldmeier.

“Women of all ages, ranging from teens to menopause, currently suffer from this obtrusive sexual problem. More research efforts to better understand and treat this unusual under-inhibited sexual condition are strongly needed.” said Irwin Goldstein, Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine, which is going to publish the first-ever study on PGAD.

For the moment, researchers can only guess an impairment in sensory nerves and this prevails in post-menopausal women in their 40s and 50s, or those who went through hormonal or anti-depression treatment; still, there have also been signaled cases of women even younger than 20. Others say it could be linked to the brain’s limbic system, the center of pleasure and sex physiology. A brain tumor in an area receiving signals from the genitalia area has been recorded in a case. Ovary tumors have been also reported.

What is Acne – It is a condition in which the skin is inflamed. It occurs because of bacteria that enters into the pores of the skin and breeds. It can happen quickly. But, why it happens is what is important here. There are many causes of acne, but the reaction the body has is the same. Understanding what happens to the body will help in the prevention of additional acne later on.
How it happens – The body normally secretes oil through the skin. This helps to keep the skin healthy. But, sometimes, there are high levels of oils being secreted. On the other side are the pores. The pores can become clogged, so to speak, with dead cells and the oils. The combination makes for a warm, wet location for bacteria to get into and to breed quickly. All of this leads to painful, unpleasant pimples on the skin.

Here are some tips to help you with the prevention of acne:

1. The most important thing to do is to keep your face clean. Your face is normally going to be oily, to an extent. But, you’ll want to keep it as clean as possible nonetheless. Washing it with a good, quality soap is essential to keeping the excess oils off and the bacteria away.

2. Consider your needs for exfoliating. Remember those dead cells we mentioned? They too can get in there and help to cause acne. So, pick up an exfoliating cream or cloth and wash your face with it. It will help to remove dead skin cells from the face and therefore keep the zits away.

3. Seek out the help of a dermatologist. If you are facing continuous problems with severe acne or are otherwise concerned about your skin, you should speak to your doctor. They can uncover several things. First, they may find that there is a need to use prescription medication to slow down the production of oils within the body. They can also prescribe antibiotics to help rid the skin of these infections which are what acne really is.

4. Make sure that you are informed. If you educate yourself about what acne really is and why it happens, you can help to prevent it. It is also important to realize that not all acne can be treated or cured and that some of it is inherited.

5. Lastly, eating a well balanced diet and getting regular amounts of exercise really can make a large difference.

1. It is inevitable that the relationship will end painfully.

Perhaps the relationship will end… when that happens some pain is probably inevitable. It is the idea of the inevitability of the end that needs to be addressed. To confront the fear of the future, or the past, it is important to remain in the present. Avoid talking about past experiences too much. Try not to over-anticipate where the relationship is going. By staying in the present, you give the relationship the greatest opportunity to evolve according to its own path. In addition, by staying in the present, you give yourself the opportunity to recognize and process intuitive signals about the relationship that may help to avoid additional hurt in the long run.

2. Nobody can ever really understand me.

Try to think of the psycho-emotional life of human beings as being made up of a deck of cards. There are only 52 cards in the deck and in any given round you may be dealt some combination of the 52. But everyone is playing with the same deck. Try to communicate what you are experiencing through the use of metaphor…. sometimes this is the best way to get others to connect with who we are and what we feel. Start off in a private journal perhaps, then graduate to close friends and associates… until you begin to become comfortable and feel visible.

3. I won’t be able to maintain the energy a good relationship requires.

Establishing and maintaining a healthy, satisfying relationship does require work, and the definition of work implies the expenditure of energy (remember high school physics). However, energy is a tricky notion and we often don’t give ourselves credit for just how capable we all are at creating it. A while back, I attended a seminar in which the facilitator insisted that energy was a choice. He insisted that if a million dollars were at stake, we would all find the energy to do what was necessary to get the money. Theoretically, I understood. Well, it was my turn to be one of the group leaders at another seminar; I finally understood what he meant. When I least felt I could go on, I found the energy to serve my team beyond what I thought was possible. I learned, then and there, that I was more capable of doing whatever it takes than I ever believed. Of course, a healthy relationship is supposed to provide you, from time to time, with the space to relax from the stresses of life. Be willing to ask for the space you need to regenerate (occasionally – don’t take advantage). If your partner is not willing to give you that space, perhaps there are other issues at play.

4. I’ll have to give up too much of myself.

Each individual has the power to set the boundaries for his/her life. If you have difficulty establishing firm boundaries for your “self” – you need to work on that with a coach or, perhaps even, a therapist. Be incredibly selfish. By exercising extreme self-care, you will be able to bring more of your authentic self into the relationship; the result will take the relationship to incredibly new levels.

5. He/she will eventually see the “real” me and reject me.

Human beings are multi-faceted; the falsehood is that the social self we present is not the authentic self…. it is!! It is a part of who we are. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses; everyone has a “shadow” (as Carl Jung defined it). Embrace all aspects of you. Until you are willing to accept the potential dark side of who you are, you are blocked from being able to fully actualize the self. All aspects of who you are to the world are part of the whole you!

6. He/she won’t understand my physical needs and desires.

There are plenty of sex therapists out there who will give advice on how to introduce requests for unusual sex play…. this topic is not merely about that area of physical relationships. Human sexuality is critical to our existence. No one should deny or avoid addressing what they want or need to satisfy this area of their lives. Again, it is important to share and to be open to a partner’s sharing… free of judgment. Through open communication, we can learn whether or not we are compatible with our partners. The sooner we discover this, the more able we are to successfully negotiate and invest in a relationship that is fully satisfying.

7. He/she will discover “this area” of my life where I am weak and will judge me entirely on that.

Risky, yes, but necessary. We must show a certain amount of vulnerability and trust that the person we’ve chosen authentically loves and cares for us, in spite of potential flaws. However, we cannot control other people’s responses. The best thing to do is to allow our partners to see who we are (over time) and learn whether or not they are worthy of our trust. But fearing their response doesn’t serve our own long term interest. If they judge us, we don’t want them… if they don’t, hiding from them only breeds mistrust.

8. Nobody is completely honest and trustworthy; so, I can’t trust him/her.

Some people are neither honest, nor worthy of our trust. This is a good reason to stay present and in touch with our intuition. Assuming that you can’t trust anybody indicates the issue is more related to earlier life issues. In order to have an incredible relationship, it is necessary to allow yourself to be vulnerable…not to the point of potential danger, and not fully vulnerable immediately. Again, stay present and listen to your intuitive responses.

9. He/she is trying to get something from me.

First, ask yourself if your partner has actually done anything to indicate this, or if you have the tendency to enter into relationships with this mindset. Remember, you are always in control and able to set the boundaries of what you are willing to give. Be fully responsible for what you freely give to people…. you won’t feel taken advantage of as easily. Also, relationships are about giving and getting…. you don’t need to worry that you will run out of yourself… there is always more of YOU! If you are willing to “give” yourself… then no one has the opportunity to “take” from you.

10. If I let him/her know how much I love him/her, they will interpret it as “need,” get scared and leave.

Sometimes, it is not necessary to report to your partner the full extent of every feeling you experience. The beauty and the value of experiencing ourselves in relationship with another human being is just that…. experiencing ourselves. Often there is great value in contemplating our own ability to experience the capacity to love and relate. Practice enjoying your own ability to relate and eventually you’ll feel comfortable communicating your experience without fear of how the other person may respond. Which, by the way, is quite out of your control anyway.
