Can seizures cause orgasms?

Tue, 04/26/2005 - 09:02

I 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 have been dealing with a seizure disorder for 6 years now. I am 41. When I mentioned that I had a seizure where I had multiple orgasms my neurologist smirked at me...smirked! I have a new neurologist now and am still working on a diagnosis. My mri from 6 years ago showed multiple white matter lesions..video EEG monitoring over 4 days led to diagnoses of PNES...I still have occasional-1/month-seizure around the time of my period. I'm having other sensory issues with loud noises-they usually cause my seizures and my eye keeps watering on the same side as that ear. I feel like Doctors just want to keep throwing more anti-epileptics at me instead of finding out whats actually wrong. If this rings any bells and you have the time to write back id appreciate it. Thank you
