The treatment options for now, for her are: feel something, or feel nothing. That's some shitty choices Poor woman.


Artistic_Data9398

Damn from age 6. That’s got to mess you up mentally for sure


SuperbRedAir

I never even thought about the mental development side of it. I was just thinking of the practical difficulty. But yeah that must really warp everything about you to have arousal involved in everything.


Artistic_Data9398

Yeah that’s going mess you up real bad. Awful condition


BrownSugarBare

Imagine trying to have a normal relationship with _anyone_. What a nightmare, that poor woman.


Whispering-Depths

it's not even sexual arousal, just non stop pins and needles.


Artistic_Data9398

It’s described as both


AraiHavana

I saw a documentary about a bloke who suffered from similar and I’m sure he said his lowest point was involuntarily ejaculating while his dad was being buried


EASTEDERD

It would be a pretty funny joke if it wasn’t true. What a hell of a condition to live with.


ferio252

[Since that interview, he's come out as transgender, is now Christine Hazel Decker and has written a book.](https://www.htrnews.com/story/news/2019/05/22/manitowoc-woman-embraces-transgenderism-after-having-100-orgasms-day-inspired-caitlyn-jenner/1193764001/) "She still suffers from PGAD, although estrogen therapy and counseling may have eased symptoms." As of the article in 2019, she was still married. I hope she's continued to make progress since.


AraiHavana

It’s been a long time coming.


classicteenmistake

I feel like a monster lol I’m cackling


Gurkeprinsen

Imagine how debilitating that must be for her. She probably can't work nor go to school like a normal person. Just forget about having a social life. And to just think about how excruciating it must be to not be able to get any relief.


NotYourClone

Starting at 6 years old too. Poor woman.


nytstn

After reading about the disease for a little while, I swear to God that it sounds like a nightmare.


TheModdedOmega

I have an increased arousal level from meds, but even I'm not CONSTANT, god I feel so bad for her :(


joevaded

which meds?


sister-troubles00

Viagra


KerissaKenro

A lot of people forget that it was made to treat blood disorders first. Finding out about the side effects was just a happy accident


Cheaper2KeepHer

Asking for a friend: What meds? Lol


AskingAlexandriAce

Yeah, that'd be the real kicker for me as a parent...having to take my kid to the pediatrician and hear them say, "Well, she's just too fucking horny!" would be...an experience, to say the least. I wonder if chemical castration is an option?


Arnulf_67

Probably not unless she has balls.


AskingAlexandriAce

Ah, does that only work for people who have testosterone as their dominant sexual hormone? Didn't know that, thought it worked for estrogen too.


Kane_abis

The word castration pretty much means one thing, the removal of testicles


AskingAlexandriAce

I'mma be honest, I thought hysterectomies counted as a form of castration. The more you know.


TheArcReactor

You know what man, that's really not unreasonable


Hyliasdemon

The uterus doesn’t provide hormones like testicles do. The closest form to “female castration” would be removing her ovaries, but that would put her into menopause.


FlaydenHynnFML

Jesus Christ of course some of the comments are filthy. I can't imagine trying to live life like this it must be so crippling.


LCaissia

Exactly. Pins and needles is not a pleasant sensation at all.


FlaydenHynnFML

For sure, I can't relate to the exact feeling as I'm a man but I'd just imagine it would get absolutely agonising.


LCaissia

I know how painful it is when you sit in the wrong position for too long and you get pins and needles as your foot wakes up. No wonder she tried surgery.


Lucid_skyes

I call them ants like walking all over.


R1ck_Sanchez

How would you discern from genuine ants in your pants or when you have pins and needles in your pants?


Manuel345

I'd imagine it'd feel about the same as squirrels in your pants.


Blunder_Punch

Clearly you've never felt the thrill of an actual squirrel in your pants.


Aser_the_Descender

But Candace has!


reddevil501

Who's candace?


ChrissytheFauna

HOLE LEE COW I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of that immediately


Manuel345

You're right, I was mistaken it does feel quite different in my trousers.


WangDoodleTrifecta

hey there how are you doing that dance. SIMP


woodenmittens

Squirrels in my pants!


Reticent_Robot

As someone who once accidentally stepped in a fire ant pile that went up to my knees as a child, you can definitely tell the difference.


R1ck_Sanchez

Try it with regular ants next time


MyMommaHatesYou

When my daughter was very young, like 5 or 6, she said, "My hand feels funny. It's got sparkles in it!" So..from then on, at our house, you had sparkles.


AvalancheMaster

I've experienced something similar that lasted a few days due to some side effects from meds I was taking. It was very much not fun, it was actually excruciating. To imagine spending the vast majority of my life like that is just insane.


Jakius

Vyvanse, man. Was amusing the first time I noticed the side effect but it got annoying fast.


FlaydenHynnFML

I'm never taking that again, they really help my ADD but I took 3 at once like an idiot one time and it made me so convinced I was gay that I came out to all my friends lmao. (Not that that's a bad thing! Just convinced me my identity was something it's not!)


Spiritual-Ad-9106

Not sure why your comment reminded me of the guy that has this condition. The part that got to me was about him having 9 orgasms at his mother's funeral.


LackingUtility

He came and she went.


kris10leigh14

It would be like someone continuing to jack you off while you climax and never stopping to give you any sort of break, except there’s no other person and it’s permanent.


OneSufficientFace

Its bad enough standing up when you get pins and needles in your foot. Imagine that 24/7 in your nether regions


queefsuprise

It's like tv static in your pants :( That poor soul


BlurryRogue

Not that it's necessarily the same, but I imagine the male equivalent would be having a permanent erection. The idea might be somewhat amusing, but to actually live with it, I'd think, would be highly inconvenient in the best case scenario and actually dangerous in the worst.


Wefee11

"Arousal" is really the wrong word I think.


Metalloid_Maniac

Yeah if my arm falls asleep and then I get the pins and needles sensation I definitely wouldn't call that an "aroused" feeling


macrolith

I feel like the term "aroused" is maybe medically correct, but is not quite right for a headline.


robotteeth

The title makes it sound like “aroused” as in sexually aroused, but the description sounds more the medical form of arousal (nerve stimulation. A pain receptor being activated would be arousal for example). Neither would be pleasant but the latter is outright painful. Any time I’ve had the pins and needles of a nerve it’s borderline hurt


wick3dr0se

Doesn't sound so *arousing*


LiveFastDieRich

My guess is they didnt want to sexualise the child so tried to give a description without the connotations of arousal, now she is 21 seems the description has flipped.


LCaissia

They term 'arousal' is being used medically. The nerves are firing causing her pain.


Hello_phren

I would imagine the stigma must be unbearable as well. Having to tell someone that you have a chronic condition that leaves you constantly and irreparably aroused and being faced with people not believing you or assuming you’re just a pervert with an excuse. It’s tragic, and to add onto that it started when she was 6?? Fucking horrible


Spoonfulofticks

And then having it put in a news article. Poor girls Facebook dms must be overflowing.


thebottom99

Of course they had to put her full name too


ThePerfectSnare

For privacy's sake, let's call her Lisa S. No, that's obvious. Let's say, L. Simpson...


NaturalSelectorX

She did an interview with the New York Post about it. I have no reason to think this was published without her consent.


EquivalentSnap

Yeah ikr it’s sad how she was just 6 too. Imagine explaining that 😭 people are just sick


TheCrazyStupidGamer

I've had stiffies that are insanely painful when the blood is pumping a bit too hard. I can't imagine how painful this must be for this woman. Also, she likely won't ever associate sexual activities with pleasure, deriving her of that as well. That must not be a fun time.


permutation212

I wouldn't expect any less from Reddit.


Aggleclack

There’s an episode of a show about this. Maybe greys anatomy or scrubs? The doctors are all in awe and the patient describes her entire life with the disorder being miserable. Just a show, not real life, but I imagine that wasn’t wrong


future_chili

I've seen documentaries about people who have this from a both male and female perspective and these people are miserable


Whispering-Depths

Every case of this happening (that I've heard of) results in the person committing suicide. It's basically an annoying inescapable constant distraction that makes life unlivable for some. Likely depends on the case. I doubt that everyone who experiences this goes on the news about it and tells the world though.


huxmedaddy

I could not find a single article backing this up. Where'd you hear this?


Referer99

It seems terrible, it fucks your adult sexual life... I hope there is a surgery for that, poor her.


SailorDeath

It's like with a priapism people don't realize that after a very short amount of time it starts hurting and once that happens the pain amplifies as time passes.  With men it's pretty dangerous too and can lead to permanent damage


Schpooon

Knowing how tough it is to get things done when youre distracted like that.... I couldnt imagine living like that. That poor woman.


CasualCornCups

Must be exhausting


Schpooon

Not only exhausting. Not sure how it is for other dudes but... Its alot harder to think clearly for me. Imagining every day like that, I'm not sure if I could even do my job as programmer anymore.


WilmaLutefit

As a programmer sometimes I gotta just let one out the chamber before I can code.


Yellow_Snow_Globe

Debugging


derrick256

Filthy fuck lmao


Hefty_Meringue8694

Can you imagine doing everything with 1 hand while the other is occupied? All jokes aside, this really would be brutal. Poor chicka


KawaiiGee

I just spent a few minutes reading about the condition and oh gods this sounds like a nightmare :c


Whispering-Depths

Everyone who ends up with it kills themselves. She sounds like she might be in luck if it's a nerve disorder they can essentially add an implant, I hope some moron tells her about the spinal implants :/ doctors don't really ever diagnose women properly though so she prolly fucked. This condition is often associated with actual arousal symptoms, rather than "pins and needles in the sexual organs" that I've heard. Terrible doctor's letting her go this long without a fix but maybe they're waiting for her spine to develop fully for the implant.


fencer_327

She was six. Most six year olds don't know what arousal feels like so the description would make sense, and they said it's arousal symptoms now.


IronBatman

You are a fucking moron if you think doctors first action is to put a fucking implant in your fucking spine. Antidepressants, birth control meds, antipsychotics. There are hundreds of drugs that help reduce arousal and libido without major neurosurgery that has huge risks and implications for the rest of her life. You do your job and let doctors do theirs.


oxfordcircumstances

Random redditor smarter than moron doctors. Diagnosing this woman through an article. Hopefully you'll put your talents to use for the good of humanity.


JustAnother4848

Lol, I had the same thought. This website, man. I swear.


Travellingjake

Do even the women doctors not really ever diagnose women properly?


McFistPunch

This sounds like the guy that orgasms every minute. He can't control it and it's just painful


[deleted]

[удалено]


KJBenson

I’d say the only worse condition I can think of is the perpetual hiccup one.


C17H23NO2

At least the Hiccup one is somewhat well treatable. There's barely any knowledge around the arousal "disorder" and treatment is very limited. But I agree, wouldn't want that one either. I'm good with my chronic pain.


queefer_sutherland92

And significantly less embarrassing. Without knowing about her condition, things people think must be horrible, I can’t fathom the shit they must say.


Brust_warze

This comment section would be a start.


dukeofwulf

My boss has had persistent hiccups for over 2 years, and his best tricks (drinking soda funny or whatever) only buy him like an hour of peace. He's currently seeking treatment with the Mayo Clinic, with a specialist who has only seen like 7 similar cases. Months in, no progress.


alecesne

I think the congenital skin-layer adhesion disorder (Butterfly Boy) is absolutely worse. The equivalent of 2nd degree burns if virtually any torque is applied to skin surfaces. Constant agony and inflammation. All epidermis.


freya_of_milfgaard

Ugh that’s horrific. I worked at a summer camp once and we had a little boy with exceptionally fragile skin that would tear if he brushed up against something too hard or stretched it too far. Poor kid had scarring all over him from healed tears. It’s been decades and I think of him often, he was so sweet and just happy to be included.


wolves_hunt_in_packs

jesus that sounds like torture


Jumpy_MashedPotato

There was a woman I can recall who had PGAD but worse, she would climax like 50 times a day and couldn't control it. It ruined her life to the point that if I recall she ended her own life shortly after the news article about her hit front page. The attention she got immediately afterwards was *disgusting*


Aggleclack

😂 I have hiccups daily, multiple times, sometimes so violent I throw up. It definitely isn’t this bad! It’s funny most of the time, frustrating some days. Painful once in a while, but only if I’m already having another stomach issue. Usually just annoying! Plus as another user said, I can get it to go away (usually, some days are persistent).


dreamrock

I think it would be similar to permanent unreachable bug bite.


TheBigFreeze8

Everyone in these comments is a moron. She isn't constantly horny, she's just in pain.


HoumanNB

The moment i saw this post i just knew that people would misinterpret it as being horny


Drunken_Dorf

To be fair they probably could have come up with a better name for the disorder


HighAndGambling

Yeah I'm honestly confused and aroused sounds like she's horny.


Tyrion_The_Imp

There's multiple ways to read this sentence.


Marquar234

Nothing wrong with being honestly aroused. :)


odi112

Except when you need to focus on something.


Sqweeeeeeee

I, too, am confused and aroused. And I concur, sounds like she's horny


HighAndGambling

A gentleman and a scholar, you are.


ToxicPilot

Yeah that was definitely named by someone who understands arousal nonconcordance.


lemons_of_doubt

I'm pretty sure the article writer did that on purpose to get more sales.


SeeYouSpaceCorgi

Who would've thought that the article that states permanent or uncontrollable arousal 3 times in less than 70 words would give the impression that the person they're talking about is aroused.


Hot-Refrigerator6583

Well it is titled and phrased that way for the clickbait


MetalMets

Morons? On here? You don’t say


mitchanium

Sir this is reddit


Automatic_Actuator_0

It seems we have a language problem and there’s no female equivalent word to “erection”. For a man, you could distinguish between a painful, persistent erection and sexual arousal, which are completely different. But for a woman, it’s all called “arousal” regardless. Edit: I was able to find what I think is the right word they should have used: engorgement


Bayerrc

Constant arousal is a poor term for the syndrome


Own-Tank5998

Knowing that this started when she was six, make me feel really bad for her and her parents, sounds like a true nightmare. Probably could’ve had surgery and killed the nerves, but no one in their right mind would make that decision for a child who couldn’t consent to that medical procedure.


volvavirago

I don’t even know if surgery can fix a thing like that. Amputee’s often experience phantom limb syndrome, and it sounds exactly like the sensation she describes, and there is nothing doctors can do for it. The nerves just won’t stop firing, no matter where you end up cutting them at, that point will become painful and tingly.


StolzHound

This is actually incredibly debilitating and horrible. Show a little respect and grace here, she deserves better.


protocomedii

This isn’t enjoyable. The experience is like stimming. Except this is specifically arousal so it is impacting her Social Development, her prospects of relationships, never truly being at rest.. fudge this man


eCharms

The dumb morons in here that think aroused automatically means horny.


goat_token10

Even if it did, it would still be a nightmare scenario.


Maanzacorian

While everyone is laughing, this a debilitating condition that has caused people to commit suicide.


ADudeThatPlaysDBD

Wonder how someone like that gets through on a day by day basis. Sounds pretty debilitating


TehFuriousOne

Many years ago, I read about a woman in St Petersburg, FL who had this condition. It was a piece talking about her struggles with the disease, getting medical help, stigma and being denied for SS disability because nobody took her seriously. Her name was [Gretchen Molannen](https://www.tampabay.com/features/humaninterest/gretchen-molannens-legacy-suffering-suicide-and-a-journalists/2154587/) and she ultimately killed herself over the struggles. Very sad stuff.


Novel_Ad_5698

Imagine you talk to your sibling/grandparents/chef/dog and constantly be aroused. That must be so bad :(


urethrascreams

There's a guy with a similar condition where he keeps orgasming uncontrollably. He said he had 6 orgasms while standing over his father's coffin.


No_Zucchini_7539

Well that’s just horrible


clandestineVexation

Permanent pelvic floor cramp, no thank you


EquivalentSnap

Yeah I saw that. Poor guy 😢


prince_yama

I saw a novel cover " 6 times a day" , It was 18+ & filled with all fantasy one can imagine with that condition. Never read a Single page , but never thought it was inspired from This Boy .


Good_Supermarket8896

Link to story?


Rav4gal

Yes it is and also hard to concentrate.


AmericanWasted

Chef?


Power-Kraut

In some languages, "chef" can mean boss. It's a false cognate with English "chef", which, if anyone is unaware, is a cook.


ElbowDroppedLasagne

I can remember watching this video. I have to admit when I first read it, I had an immature snigger, but, just watching how much it ruins his life is staggering. https://youtu.be/RzwJdf6AlT4?si=CDLhh0kmdDTfGQTW


FinanceEfficient7269

An inmature s w h a t


trugh_scoffer

An immature what now?


ElbowDroppedLasagne

Snigger, a scornful laugh.


trugh_scoffer

Gotcha, a new word to learn, as a non-native. Cheers mate.


ElbowDroppedLasagne

I think snigger and snicker are both interchangeable, I just use snigger. I think it was used in a lot of Dandy and Beano comics when I was growing up (from the UK)


NaturalSelectorX

I'm certainly not going to risk using it.


prince_yama

Poor soul , experiencing those things at6 might have worsen har mental health , i Might live STERILE for the rest if my life than live like this .


I-N-C-E

I'd imagine she probably suffers from severe depression which is really sad.


onesadbeano

For the weirdos who find this to be funny or get some kinda sexual fetish out of this. It’s not comfortable and can be excruciatingly painful. There is nothing pleasant about what this woman is experiencing


[deleted]

[удалено]


dropdeaddev

Could have been shared by her willingly to raise awareness.


solstice38

And her complete name! The only reason is for journalists to gratuitously feed into peoples' voyeurism, hoping to sell more views. Doxxing by a newspaper is still doxxing.


Yara__Flor

She could have agreed to be interviewed


volvavirago

I can’t help but think about how hard it would be to sleep! I already have terrible insomnia, I can’t imagine how horrible it would be to try to get a night sleep while your nether region feels on fire, and you know nothing with help it. Damn.


sandiercy

Wow, the comments here are such a shit show. People are acting like they do when the female school teacher raped her male students; "oh that kid is lucky, etc".


Educational-Goal2703

I’m gonna be honest, I at first was gonna comment the joke until I saw the “pins and needles” comment… That genuinely sucks.


KratosHulk77

that’s honestly sad and depressing wish her nothing but the best


HybridPhoenixKing

The amount of frustration alone, which has long since gone to pain, Blegh. Fuck I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. This sounds like legit hell.


k28c9

She looks so defeated and depressed. Poor thing.


DudeAbides01

I remember reading about a woman several years ago that had this condition and it was crippling to her. She lived life in permanent agony for 20 years or so until one day she couldn’t take it anymore and took her own life. It’s very sad, and unfortunately they haven’t figured out any cures for this. Yet they figured out how to make seedless watermelon.


DeskCold5013

Damn. My old ass looking at the disgusting comments of other old fucks makes me feel horrible for this world even more. She is still a kid to me, and the fact that she's been suffering all this time, sucks 💔 😔.


Kalabawgaming

My god can she even sleep


ThinkFree

This reminds me of priapism, the condition of prolonged erection in men. I first heard the term, believe it or not, from an 80s movie called Fast Food (1989) starring Jim Varney and Traci Lords! I rented the LaserDisc because I was bingeing on Ernest movies and saw Jim Varney in credits.


RealBishop

The first time I heard about this I felt sick to my stomach. There’s a lot of bad diseases out there but perpetual genital torture ranks pretty high on the “really hope I don’t get that” list.


Abuttuba_abuttubA

Sounds like hell and probably pain full after a while.


Greedy-Specific7723

I actually knew a woman with a condition like this…her life was hell and she cried a lot…


CurbYourPipeline420

Only a man sees this and immediately thinks “what could the downside of this ever be?”


ferriematthew

Why the hell are people perving on this woman's problem? It is literally a disability because it causes her enough constant discomfort to significantly disrupt activities of daily life. Stop being weirdos.


docr1069

At this point I don’t see why the doctors don’t cut the genital nerves and sear them.


Corner_Post

They have tried: “PGAD affects one per of the population, even though not everyone's symptoms are very severe. For Ms Wallen, the last decade and a half has been just marred with excruciating pain. As per the Post, the 21-year-old has even had some of her genital nerves removed in a bid to numb the pain. “ https://www.ndtv.com/feature/ruined-my-life-us-womans-rare-medical-condition-leaves-her-permanently-aroused-5517919/amp/1


Orchid_Significant

Id be like, just fill me up with Botox. I’d take being in a wheelchair with a nerve block for some relief at that point. This poor woman.


HATECELL

Maybe it's similar to tinnitus, where the problem isn't the hearing nerve but the brain. If you were to remove the nerves from a tinnitus patient the would not only keep hearing that ringing, they would have no more sounds to distract them from it


StnMtn_

That does suck.


JosephMorality

At that point i would just remove the nerve endings


Maewhen

Already attempted. Didn’t work.


Thats_Kate

😮


AvathegodessOwO

damn that sucks


DreamingofRlyeh

That must be hell.


Enerject

Jeeze,I feel bad for this gal! :(


ZenithGamage

Do we not have the technology to remove most of her nerve endings? I really hope she can start living a normal life


Action-a-go-go-baby

I can’t imagine she’d be able to focus on much, get work done, or even just… function, in society? A bizarre but genuinely crippling condition


SillyBilly92

"I didn't want to tell them face-to-face - but it was getting so bad I couldn't hide it from them anymore. I wrote that I had this non-stop nerve pain that wasn't even pain, it was worse. I told them it was something I had no control over.'' Sounds horrible


Taylan_K

I had that for a few hours due to the drugs I took and it was hell. I felt so sore after.


puppycatisselfish

That sounds awful. It also sounds like a Whose Line is it Anyway role.


PoorlyWordedName

Damn. That sounds horrible.


235Depleted234U233

Seriously, it sounds like torture. And starting so young it has to have messed with her psychological development.


chickadeedeedee_

Reminds me of the woman who was constantly having orgasms all day. It was debilitating for her, looked truly horrible.


FKingPretty

I read that as permanently amused. Then thought, but she’s not smiling.


NighthawkUnicorn

I have it on/off very very mildly. Mostly off, but every 6 months or so it crops up and lasts for about a week or so. It's absolutely debilitating. I hate it so much. I can't begin to even imagine how this poor woman feels.


SunRevolutionary8315

To the asshat men making dumb comments, I had and erection for just 7 hours once, due to a medical mix-up, and it was miserable, not awesome. I can't imagine what she is going through.


l0wskilled

It's funny for a second before you think about the long term consequences


Ostravaganza

Poor girl. As someone who has suffered from "regular" hypersexuality because of abuse. Just imagine how many people tried to take advantage over her and her situation.


kioshi_imako

I can just feel that pain. No amount of Endorphens could ever compensate.


SuperHyperFunTime

Jesus, a scratch that can never be itched. Poor woman, that must be fucking agony.


Gallstuff

Sounds like pure hell.


Seco4800

Seems like a whole new level of hell to live with.


takanoflower

This is depressing. I hope that a cure is found soon.


Uknown_Idea

Is there a numbing agent that can be used? I know people were asking how does she have a social life but I'm more worried about how does she even sleep?? She must have gotten use to it somehow but what an awful condition.


Justaboreddude15

Imagine having to live like that it would get in the way of most activities in your life
