I spend much of my time at Babeland helping people learn how to have better or more frequent orgasms. We love orgasms! They feel great and help relieve stress. However, I recently learned about a condition that has just started being described called Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder. People with this condition are constantly aroused and can have as many as 200 orgasms in one day. If you're someone who feels that they have difficulty having orgasms, this might seem like a dream come true, but take a step back and imagine what it would be like. With PGAD, people may have orgasms while they're eating, working, exercising and spending time with family and friends. Orgasms can be pretty powerful things - they're not easy to hide - I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to try to find a private place to have an orgasm you couldn't control. The only thing that would be worse would be not knowing that there were other people like you out there experiencing the same thing.I learned about this condition from one woman's experience, shared on BoingBoing:

Every time I do something, I have to evaluate my situation. Where am I? Are there other people around? How well do I know them? What is the likelihood that, if I don't get someplace private in time, things could get complicated? Can I make noise? (Being vocal isn't necessary, but it helps release more of the pressure.) I avoid triggers ? things like music with heavy bass, vibrations from riding a train or an idle car, cold air, musky cologne, darkness, stress, scary movies, romantic movies, unexpected touch, a full bladder. PSAS is completely unrelated to sex drive. Watching sex scenes does nothing for me, but the other day, when a friend put his hand on my back, I found it really hard to contain a screaming orgasm. If my heart rate shoots up too high for too long, I flare up. I avoided exercise and gained a lot of weight. One time, I was hugging a male relative and I felt an orgasm arise. It felt really dirty and wrong, and I totally freaked out. Now, I try to avoid hugs in general unless I feel ready for them.

I am grateful to this woman for sharing her story and educating me about PGAD. If you would like to learn more, go here.
