[B]A woman who suffered from a debilitating condition where she had constant, uncontrollable orgasms has committed suicide after years of battling her affliction.[/B]
Gretchen Molannen, 39, was found dead in her home in Spring Hill, Florida, over the weekend from an apparent suicide.
She had suffered from persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) for more than a decade-and-a-half.
The condition means the afflicted are physically but not psychologically aroused and can often only find relief after masturbating for hours upon end.
The Tampa Bay Times had done a profile on Ms Molannen only a week before, speaking to her about her debilitating disorder.
‘I had such a different life before this thing, this beast, took over,’ she said in November. Ms Molannen explained that she began feeling the sensation when she was 23, describing that it was like a switch she couldn’t turn off.
'I used to love life. But this has destroyed it. This isn't living. What's the point? I think about suicide all the time,' she said.
One of the only forms of relief came from masturbating for hours on end, something that Ms Molannen, a Lutheran, found as a point of shame.
Though she had aspirations of working as a translator as she is fluent in French, German and Spanish, her condition meant that she had to take odd jobs, because she had to deal with the physical demands of PGAD.
But, having to relieve herself almost constantly, she stopped working in 1999 and started spending most of the time in her bedroom with her vibrator.
'I was terrified,' she said. 'I couldn't get unaroused. I didn't know what to do.'
Her distress over the condition made her attempt suicide three times in the past year.
'I know that God wants more out of my life than having me testing out suicide methods, constantly crying and abusing myself,' she said.
Unable to hold down any full-time employment. Ms Molannen said she tried to file for disability twice, and was twice denied.
Because of this, the boyfriend had paid her taxes so she could keep her parents’ house.
Her worst day, she said, was when she had 50 uncontrolled orgasms in a row.
Describing the orgasms she experiences, she said: 'All the feelings that people have when they are aroused, they're there. The genital congestion, throbbing pulsating, heart pounding, it's all there but the difference is tremendous anxiety - anxiety which is devastating and traumatizing.
According to the Journal of Sex and Marriage Therapy, any number of events or medications can trigger the disorder, including going off antidepressants, starting menopause, and even a bad fall.
It is unclear how many women suffer from the disease, but experts estimate it to be in the thousands.

I saw a documentary about that woman, it was really sad. She could not control herself at all during the interviews and it was totally embarassing for her.
I'm guessing it's like constant hiccups, only worse. It's uncontrolled spasms.

I remember reading about that women a few years back, sad things had to go this way and that there's no real cure for what she had.

i believe this is pertinent information
What a sad affair. I wonder if neuromedicine would've been able to do anything.

I'd assume it's possible with implants similar to those that are sometimes used to lessen the effects of Parkinson's disease. You insert electrodes that stimulate/de-stimulate certain parts of the brain.
Since this condition is so unusual I doubt any doctor would go ahead with such a procedure though. And regardless of the possibility, since this woman lived in the US she wouldn't have received insurance for it anyhow.
Damn thats fucking sad. Getting so many orgasms you get sick of it. :smith:
And i thought i was tired of wanking.

shit son... the most I've ever been able to manage is, umm, 30 days, probably less
That sucks.
Why the fuck couldn't she get filed as disabled?
I remember reading about this chick on Cracked. That's just really sad.
After being turned on all the time... she finally got herself turned off.
Why do so many people treat this disorder as a joke? Imagine having an erection that never goes away; I bet you wouldn't last a day.

I really doubt she was aroused during most of the orgasms

Did she really orgasm while reading about sex with corpses?

She didn't orgasm because of the book, she had a vibrator
One of the greatest tools of pleasure and love, turned into a tool of torment and torture. Without a doubt, it is one of the worst things imaginable.

Is she purposefully enjoying it, or are women unable to control their vocal cords during arousal?
Their minds switch off and for a few seconds, you're pounding your dick into a rubber-duck.

it was more that she had the vibrator in her and she was orgasming.
