PGAD or Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder Syndrome is one of the hot searched term today. Here’s what I’ve found on What is PGAD Syndrome?. Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) is a sexual disorder that has not been fully defined yet.
It refers to the experience of persistent feelings of genital arousal (often described as “pelvic tension”) that are not associated with sexual stimulation of any kind, that don’t go away on their own, and that cause the individual pain or distress.
Symptoms of Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) Syndrome via sexuality.about.com:
Researchers are still describing this phenomenon and no criteria are agreed upon for what is and isn’t PGAD. But the first article to describe PGAD suggests that it should include the following features:
- Experiencing physiological response similar to sexual arousal (such as genital sensitivity or engorgement) that lasts for an extended period of time (from hours to days) and does not go away on its own.
- Physical signs are not related to feeling sexually excited or sexual desire.
- Physical experience may be triggered by nonsexual events or by nothing at all.
- Physical signs of arousal do not go away after orgasm, or may require multiple orgasms to go away
- The experience is considered intrusive and unwanted; and when it persists, can create significant distress.
A more recent paper proposed an additional feature: The experience of spontaneous orgasms which are not brought on by sexual stimulation and are intense.
