24-year-old Amanda Gryce, suffers from a rare condition known as Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder, which sees her having up to 50 orgasms a day. It may sound like fun, but Amanda admits that her condition has almost ruined her life.
Amanda explains that her uncontrolled orgasms can be triggered by anything from riding in a car to a loud bass. She says:
Quote:It can happen anywhere and sometimes I'll have five back to back. It's not pleasurable - it has become like torture.
I've been living with it for years. It happens when I'm with my friends or out in public and it's very embarrassing.
I just have to put on a smile and pretend that nothing's wrong.
Since last year I've been on a quest to find out more about this condition.It's been one disappointment after another thanks to the reluctance of some doctors to see this as a valid condition.
After countless unsuccessful appointments with doctors and specialists, Amanda may finally have a solution with the the help of pelvic pain expert Dr Robert Echenberg.
After seeing Dr Echenberg I found there are things which can reduce the intensity of the orgasms - even though they are still constant. I take medication to numb the areas and do exercise to try to take me mind of it. Taking control over the disorder rather than it controlling me is a dream come true.
Although Amanda is now getting her orgasms under control, she’s been asked to become celibate by doctors which was a slight blow to her boyfriend Stuart Triplett. The couple met seven months ago on a dating site and despite previously having had sex, she’s now been advised to completely abstain from sex.
Quote:It was difficult at first to explain my disorder to Stuart but he's so supportive, he completely understands and he is just my rock.
I’m glad Amanda found a guy who’s supportive so at least she can try and have something that resembles a normal life.
