Michelle Thompson’s life is one big climax – for a rare condition called PSAS means she has up to 300 pleasures a day. She wants the arousal to stop. It has it’s down-sides, finding a partner who can cope with such demands can be difficult.
The cause of PSAS has not yet been established. But it must be something in the part of the brain called the limbic system which controls these functions. Although there is no cure, psychological treatments can help modify the symptoms and enable sufferers and their partners to cope.
It was at this point, in January last year, that she decided to seek professional help. Within months her PSAS had been diagnosed at a specialist clinic.
“My most embarrassing was last year when I was in a supermarket and an in-store salesman wouldn’t leave me alone. Suddenly I got that feeling and knew I was going to have it. I tried to make my excuses and leave but he just wouldn’t go away so I climaxed there and then in front of him. You should have seen the look on his face.”
My patient with the condition had to relieve herself many times a day. And because she had to leave her desk to use the loo at work to do this, she found it impossible to hold down a job.
As Michelle discovered, it’s not easy to find a partner who can handle the syndrome. The apparent large sex drive can make the man feel sexually dominated. But some conditions similar to PSAS do have a serious cause. One young woman with an insatiable desire for sex went through hundreds of men before she was diagnosed with a brain tumour. The tumour was small but it was growing on the part of the brain that receives signals from the genitals, so she was permanently turned on. There are also some women who have abnormally high levels of testosterone. This is a male sex hormone but normal women have small amounts of it. If they didn’t, they would have no sex drive. But if levels are too high the pursuit of sex and orgasms becomes a perpetual preoccupation. This also sometimes happens with tumours of the ovary.
As for Michelle, she seems to have a severe form of the condition and I am surprised she is so happy with it as it can make normal life impossible.
