Multiple orgasms are something most women only dream of.
Two is good, three is pretty amazing. Four or five? Phenomenal.
But imagine having fifty. In a single day.
For Amanda Gryce, a constant state of sexual arousal means her orgasms are continual, uncontrollable and not just limited to when she has sex.
The 22-year-old shop assistant from Florida suffers from a rare medical condition called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), which she first contracted at the age of eight.
The condition causes her to orgasm up to ten times an hour, often at the slightest trigger – whether it be a vibrating mobile, loud music or a car journey. Gryce will masturbate 15 times a day just to relieve her constant arousal and uses special positions to control her orgasms.
Gryce says the reality of constant arousal is completely debilitating, telling the Daily Mail:
‘It is not pleasurable: you could say it has become a torture. This condition controls your life completely and it is like living a nightmare … I can have 50 orgasms in one day and five or ten within an hour of each other. It happens when I’m with my friends or out in public and it’s very embarrassing.
Gryce says her Catholic upbringing made the early years of her battle with PSAS even more uncomfortable. Taught to believe masturbation and sexual thoughts were a sin, she was too scared to confide in anyone about her struggle to contain her sexual excitement.
