Reaching climax is a pleasant sensation we all seek to obtain when having sex or masturbating. We automatically associate orgasms and climaxing with happy moods, excited stages of emotions and feeling and an overall pleasurable experience.

But imagine climaxing multiple times a day. This is something a lot of women might consider heaven on earth. But imagine if you had an orgasm multiple times a day without having to engage in sex or masturbating to achieve it. Still sound like heaven?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Many women around the world suffer from Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD). Just a simple rubbing of their lady parts on their jeans can ignite sparks for their downstairs area.

Sitting on a chair a certain way can rub them the wrong way. Even putting on their underwear in the morning can provoke the onset of an orgasm. While people without this disorder can casually enjoy reaching an orgasm, women with PGAD constantly have to deal with these intense moments throughout the day, to a point where it becomes unbearable.

To explain in layman’s terms of what happens to women’s bodies who suffer from this disorder, the fibers at the bottom of our spines send signals to the pelvic nerve region, which in turn, sends signals to your brain awakening the idea that you are sexually aroused and at the brink of orgasm.

In a recent special edition of Scientific American, a profile story features one woman who deals with this disorder; we’ll call her Betty for purposes of concealing her identity in this article.

Betty complains about having to pee all the time and feeling a painful zapping sensation in her genitals throughout the day. She mentions how having orgasms relieves the pain she feels from the zaps, but once her orgasm runs its course, the pain returns. And this happens all day, everyday. It’s an inescapable experience that is anything but pleasurable.

Some women, who have PGAD, undergo a costly medical procedure to block the signals that the pelvic region is involuntarily sending to the brain. The problem? The procedure costs more than $60,000 and is incredibly painful according to some case studies who have gone through with the procedure.

But can you imagine having to pay someone to stop having orgasms? These women who deal with PGAD don’t feel lucky, happy or satisfied with the amount of orgasms they have throughout the day. It disrupts their lives immensely. They can’t perform normal functions in their lives and it interferes with their regular thought process.

So I’ll ask you as the reader to once again, imagine. Imagine being a teacher in a kindergarten class and having sexual feelings in the middle of instructing a lesson to a classroom of kids. Imagine being at the dinner table with your parents and feeling sexually aroused. Imagine being at work in a meeting with your boss and feeling like you are going to climax.

Imagine not being able to enjoy engaging in sex with your partner because an orgasm is just an ordinary, regular occurrence for you.

So, next time you consider an orgasm being one of the greatest experiences of our sexual nature, it can also be a curse for a lot of women around the world who have to deal with involuntary and regular orgasms.
