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 have never heard of this, I guess it could be possible depending on where in the brain the seizure is!!Some people do have orgasms at night, depending on dreams....this is embarassing but I find I have had a few at night (orgasms).
