Very Sexual women

[MagicFingers]

Here's an interesting story about a special condition in some women.
Watch out for those SSRI's!

Instead of failing to get aroused, women suffering from persistent sexual arousal syndrome (PSAS) experience constant, unprovoked feelings of excitement.

Well, not a lot to say about this topic?

I thought it was very interesting that this is a real medical problem, where some women get aroused, even when they don't want to. Maybe it would be a good story idea? Oh, well, I hope people enjoyed reading about it.
I have met one true nympho, but she was just horny all the time, not aroused all the time.

You'd like to meet a woman who's constantly embarassed, distressed, and possibly suicidal? Physical arousal and overall desire are two very different things. How much would you and your partner enjoy a neverending erection without wanting sex?

Since you seemed to have missed it, here's the article, with the effects in bold:

Instead of failing to get aroused, women suffering from persistent sexual arousal syndrome (PSAS) experience constant, unprovoked feelings of excitement.

"Persistent sexual arousal syndrome occurs when a woman becomes involuntarily aroused for extended periods of time in the absence of sexual desire," said Dr. David Goldmeier of St. Mary's Hospital in London.

But rather than being a pleasant sensation, Goldmeier, who described PSAS in a report in the International Journal of STD & AIDS, said it is embarrassing and very distressing for women.

Some sufferers have reported being suicidal, he added.

In the majority of cases the cause is unknown but a number of women report symptoms after they stop taking antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Because so few cases have been studied, little is known about the prevalence of the problem or the best treatments for a condition that was first diagnosed in 2001.

"It deserves continued research, not only because it is a distressing and perplexing condition, but also because ... treatment may lead to greater understanding of other aspects of female sexual response," said Goldmeier and Dr. Sandra Leiblum of the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, New Jersey.

The International Journal of STD & AIDS is published by the Royal Society of Medicine in London.

i'd be curious to know whether the depression and suicidal tendencies are a function of these women's respective attitudes towards sex and the like. it seems such a no-brainer to me if that were the case.
