Car crash leaves woman turned on for sex 24 hours a day

[Blue_Tires]

Mum Joleen Baughman's life is made hell by a car crash injury that left her constantly craving sex.

The smash two years ago damaged a nerve in her pelvis which controls desire, leaving it permanently switched on.

It means Joleen, 39, becomes aroused by even the slightest movement - while vacuuming, sitting on a bus, bending over or walking across a room.

She said: "It's unbearable. Just my clothes rubbing gets me so aroused that I can hardly think straight.

"It's very embarrassing and it's impossible to concentrate."

The mum of two is officially suffering from a rare condition known as Restless Genital Syndrome or Persistent Sexual Arousal.

Joleen, of New Mexico, says even regular sex with husband of 20 years Brian does not alleviate her symptoms.

She added: "We'd have sex once and I'd feel no release at all.

"So we'd go again and then it would start really hurting but I would still want sex, even more than before.

"If my husband managed to go for a third time it would be agony but I would still feel no release.

"Being aroused pretty much 24-hours a day is exhausting.

"It's so embarrassing. I have to try to keep my feelings under control and to ignore them so I can get on with normal life.

"But I often worry people can guess what I'm feeling even though they can't."

1. Hey, I knew a Joleen in New Mexico

I thought it was because I was irresistable

2. Of course a surgical cure would probably leave her...

...with no sex drive at all. While that is better than what she has now, it would still be a serious loss for her.

11. Yeah :^( But if the actual act isn't enjoyable anyway, she may become

so exhausted and desperate she goes that route.

5. And this is bad because?

Expect big pharma to have a pill to cure Restless Genital Syndrome before long.

9. I have a feeling that insurance rates are going to go up

if the networks latch onto this story.

7. Everything gets old after a while.

This might be fun for a week but not after that.

8. Art Buchwald on writing a weekly column...

It's like being married to a nymphomaniac, he said. It's great for a while but after that it's just a lot of work!

10. There's a Tiger Woods joke here, somewhere
