RAEL'S COMMENT: What a great condition!  Instead of "fixing it," doctors should focus on transmitting it to more women (and men). Is this a case of religious prejudice?

Medical condition that causes 100 orgasms a day?

08/28/2012

By Deborah Kotz, Globe Staff

While most articles related to women and orgasms focus on the problem of not having them, one tabloid profiled a woman who has too many -- 100 per day. The New Jersey woman claims her orgasms are triggered by the slightest jostling like going over a bump while driving. She’s been diagnosed with a condition called persistent genital arousal disorder that developed from spinal cysts.

I did a little research and found 28 studies describing the condition -- often doctors writing about cases they’ve seen in their patients -- all published in the past decade. One British study described the condition as becoming “involuntarily aroused genitally for extended periods in time in the absence of sexual desire.” The condition usually causes distress and exhaustion, not pleasure, and has no effective treatment, according to the researchers.

Some women have reported that their condition began after they stopped taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants like Prozac and Paxil. Others, like the woman in the video above, appear to have had the condition triggered by spinal cysts pressing against a nerve connected to their reproductive organs.

Researchers have reported on some experimental treatments that have helped a handful of women overcome the condition such as shock therapy (now called electroconvulsive therapy or ECT), physical therapy, and drugs like the anti-anxiety medication duloxetine.

WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL" means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-semitic, anti-Jewish, racist, revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just means that it is important for all human beings to know about them. Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment, which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs, as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes. The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute. That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews, antisemites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
 
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history, 
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
 
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
 
Rael
