Nonstop Female O****ms? This Topic Rated "R"

Remember, don't shoot the messenger.

This subject is a little over the top, but I'm posting about it because I've never heard anything like it in my 60 + years, and it's courtesy of the UK Royal Academy of Medicine.

PSAS, Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome, was first described in 2001. It affects only women. Sufferers live in a constant state of sexual excitement, some enduring non-stop orgasms, in the total absence of sexual stimulation.

This affliction was written up in the April issue of the Journal of STD and AIDS, published by the Royal Academy of Medicine. The "story" was picked up by Reuters on March 24, and broadcast by my local (Sacramento) CBS-TV station last night.

When I went to the Journal for details, it asked for $19 for access to the article. I passed.

Some women who have it had recently stopped taking anti-depressants of the seratonin reuptake inhibitor class.

And you thought it was just college frat boys! B)

 

My unthinking male reaction is to smirk and make light of it ("How would it be..."), but, as the Globe article notes, I DO remember being a 17-year-old boy (and carrying my books a certain way after fantasizing through a class ).

It must be...maddening.

Thanks for the links, Kiloran. I didn't come up with anything after feeding "PSAS" into my search engines.

Then again, it WOULD make a dynamite Prius story, wherein a new Prius owner unknowingly dates a woman who has this affliction, and he becomes aware of it in any of a number of ways...and attributes it to the car...the ultimate chick magnet tale---I can picture it now, as enacted on Saturday Night Live...
