SINCE we have to end this year with diseases, I am bringing another terrible but rare medical condition, worse than ebola. It is known as permanent sexual arousal syndrome (PSAS). The first recorded victim surfaced in May, and like with ebola, Ugandans did not get to know because they were busy hosting the queen.
Now experts are assembling in Geneva to scratch their heads over the condition, pick allowances and return home to do more research.
According to News of the World, a UK tabloid, Ellie Allan, 28, is suffering from what many people dream of having. The slightest movement brings her orgasm: driving over speed bumps, mowing the lawn, the hum of a fan or photocopier, the ringing of an alarm clock or a telephone, starting a car engine and any startling thing. She gets around 250 orgasms a day!
“I am constantly being forced to cover up my sighs or quickly leave wherever I am,†she explains. If you want to appreciate her condition, imagine this girl seated next to you in a taxi.
Suddenly, she grabs the front seat, starts moaning softly and perhaps jerking her body! And not once or twice, but seven times by the time you reach Bweyogerere. If she is a Munyankole, imagine what happens to the taxi seat! Ellie says the first time it happened, she was on a bus.
“The engine was making the vehicle shake and suddenly, I felt an unbearable tingling, my back arched and my body jerked sharply as I peaked,†she told News of the World. “Everyone was staring at me like I was epileptic!†The poor girl does not know where to turn anymore. She is constantly looking for quiet places without any kinds of external stimuli. She left her job and now works in a quiet gallery.
Once, she narrated, a policeman stopped her for sneaking through traffic lights. By the time he got to her window, she was in the clouds. He made her get out of the car and her legs almost failed to carry her. “He thought I was drunk so he breathalysed me!â€
Doctors who diagnosed her, said with PSAS, the sexual organs experience constant arousal even with the absence of any actual desire.
It could have been caused by side effects to medicines containing trazadon or excessive blood supply, they say. Ellie has been given an anaesthetic gel to numb sensation around the private parts and advised to wear loose clothing to cut down on friction.
“I also drink camomile tea to calm me down and I find a few glasses of wine on a night out can help to deaden the urges a bit,†she said. The sickness has also affected her relationship.
“My boyfriend even went on an arduous keep-fit regime in a bid to keep up with me,†she said. “But I still wore him out so badly that he ended up in tears and we split. It’s embarrassing. I kept asking for more, till it got difficult for him.
“A man can think I’m putting on an act and even those who think it’s great at first because they can bring me to orgasm in seconds without any kind of work, eventually suffer when I keep demanding for more.â€
