(1) Alice, I have a few comments I'd like to share about I ORGASM ALL THE TIME — HELP!. This happens to me, too. I have tried to learn to how control them by taking deep breaths and trying to slow down my pulse. About half the time, it is helpful. I can't run off every time it happens because then I would never be sitting in class (or anywhere else) for more than maybe 15 minutes at a time. For me, it doesn't matter what I'm wearing, what I'm thinking about, or how I'm sitting. It can happen while I am standing, walking, or lying down as well. There seems to be little in the way of a logical pattern. I know there are some things that trigger them, such as being around perfume, jazz music, watching movies that involve anything romantic or sexual, or being too cold or stressed out. But none of those need to be present to trigger an orgasm. Masturbation does not seem to have any effect on my spontaneous orgasms. I find the entire situation very stressful because some of the orgasms can be strong enough that it is noticeable to others around me. I don't like the attention that it draws to me. Furthermore, it happens often enough that it has adversely affected my schoolwork. I have gone to my gynecologist and she said she saw nothing wrong. My gynecologist referred me to a psychiatrist who was not really sure if it was all in my head. I was then sent to a neurologist. Currently, my doctors and I are working through 2 theories: either it is some strange manifestation of a seizure disorder, or I am responding to chronic stress in an unusual way. Anyhow, those are just my thoughts on the matter. Maybe the reader should see a doctor or three as well if it's adversely affecting her life. I know for me it's much less frustrating now that I know we are working on trying to find a way to control the orgasms since they make my life so unpredictable. — Searching for a cure
[back to top] Dear Alice, I also have a response. Ever since I was a little girl, maybe about 6 or 7, I've known how to orgasm and what to think about/look at to trigger arousal. I experience spontaneous orgasms and I am still in high school! Some of my friends know about it (and frankly, are jealous that I don't even have to try to get one), but nobody understands the burden it is! It's very nerve-wracking to get an orgasm, say, during an exam, because if it's strong enough, I have the urge to moan. Drawing that kind of attention is very awkward in the middle of class! It's a problem I don't really want to talk about with my parents, so next time I go to the doctor I'll mention it to her and see what she can do to help. I just want you to know that I completely understand what you're going through. Yours Truly,
