A member asked:

Every few months i wake up from an intense orgasm. i then proceed to have 3 maybe 4 more in a min or two. this is going on for yrs. why? normal?

Can be PGAD: Jeanine, are you having these at night? Does this get uncomfortable ever? You may have "persistent genital arousal disorder", which is rare. Typically a workup is warranted, and occasionally we order specific imaging studies as well. Seek a specialist in FPMRS, if nobody is local I'm not too far from you in NJ.
