Side Effects to Craving Orgasm

Sex Problems for Women

I suffer from a constant craving to orgasm. I am now 24 years old and i have suffered from this since i was a young child. I can orgasm as many times as i like in a row.
As a child i used to over masturbate, but although it is pleasureable when i do it, i seem to have developed side effects. My body seems to crave it more and more and it seems to effect my nerves making me tired and snappy. I am currently trying not to orgasm and havent for a few weeks, but because the cravings are so bad I find it hard to sleep and i know that if i let myself orgasm i will feel even worse later! It is effecting my life most of the time and i would really appreciate some advice!

Physical Addiction to Orgasm

I have exactly the same addiction. And it is for me a problem as much as the alcoholism I have now conquered is, although I still have an addiction to pain killers. It is a problem when it starts interfering with your normal life. Often, I have let the phone ring, not gone out when asked and been late for work because I am masturbating using vibrators for hours achieving the explosive orgasms that I have become so used to. I believe it is the incredible endorphin rush I get after 2 or 3 or maybe 4 or 5 orgasms in a row that I achieve through my habit.
I have managed to cut down from every night to 2 or 3 times a week. At the moment I am trying to get down to 2 sessions a week. So that would be about 8 orgasms a week. I too feel exhausted after every session and although it leaves me exhilarated it is tiring!!
I resorted to seeing a psychiatrist who prescribed me a drug called Benperidol a major tranquilliser. It helps but I prefer not to take it.
Taking exercise is a good way of channelling some of the sexual energy and I try to get to the gym and swim alot. It helps, but the compulsion is still there.
I am now on a waiting list for phsychosexual help. When I spoke to my doctor about it he said it was an unusual problem. Is it I wonder!! Maybe a lot of women may be embarrassed to admit they are addicted to orgasm, so that is why it is a low key problem. As for me, I see it as being as much of a problem as any other addiction because it can affect your life. I would love to say, yes, ok, I'll go out tonight, rather than, oh no, I must get home I've got so much to do (ie: spend 3 hours mastubating, have several orgasms and collapse in bliss on the sofa).
I should be sponsered by Ann Summers and Duracell! If anyone else out there has any tips let us know!! In the meantime I am going to refrain tonight, but because I am going away for 2 days on Sunday to see an unwell friend it means I will spend most of Saturday night at it again so I have had my fix before I go. For me, it's bad and if I'm going to have a normal life I pray that I will beat this addiction.

an addiction to orgasm

The way I am thinking about this is that your body has become physiologocally addicted to the chemical changes brought about by orgasm. I think you are doing the right thing going "cold turkey" for a bit. In due course, the craving should get less, just as if you had given up smoking! After a period of complete abstinence, you might try again and see how it is. Keep us posted please.
