Can seizures cause orgasms?
Tue, 04/26/2005 - 09:02I know there have been discussions of orgasm or sexual activity causing seizures. But can seizures cause orgasms?
I have on numerous occasions had a spontaneous orgasm in my sleep --without any physical stimulation. In my sleep state I almost always am aware a few seconds before what is going to happen and I try to stop it, because it is actually rather uncomfortable, causing very strong, almost painful contractions, and also resulting in my having to get up to go to the bathroom to urinate. Very annoying.
Does anyone have this happen? Is it possibly a seizure?

i can't necessarily think that my early morning sexual yearnings are seizure related just lack of sex. i find that if me and my husband haven't had sex for more than 3-4 days then i get very horny while asleep and its not painful and its all sex dream related.
it maybe best to be honest with your consultant and talk to him about it. don't be embarrassed there's nothing wrong with being honest about what your going through. nocturnal fits must be difficult for all of you and i do empathise.
