I am a 53 year old woman and have had this for a couple of years. I just happened to come across an article on the web with some info about/description of PGAD. I was releived to know there was a name for it, and that I'm not the only one. I beleive lots of people probably have it, but don't know what it is and are afraid to tell anyone, like I was. I had been telling my psychologist about it all along, so when he saw the articles, he agreed that this was most likely what I have. I still don't know where to go for treatment, as it seems not many doctors are aware of it, either. No one could understand this disorder, if they haven't experienced it, and most would probably joke about it, as did my best friend, who was the only non-medical person or therapist I told about it. Could some folks who have been diagnosed as or presumed to be "sex addicts" actually be suffering from PGAD?

I'm a 16 year old girl and I'm seriously worried that I have this. It's really horrible but I'm way too embarrassed to tell anyone!! HELP!!!!!!

I'm a 16 year old girl and I'm pretty sure I have this, it's really horrible and it's starting to ruin my life. I find it hard to concentrate at school and so my work is suffering. I'm way too embarrassed to tell anyone. Does anyone know of doctors or anyone in New Zealand that can help with this problem. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!! this this driving me insane!!!!!!!

I found out from a show on TLC called strange sex which featured a woman who had this condition, I thought that I was a freak and I am thank ful for access to the internet which provides more information and understanding on this rare and very distracting condition. I am 61 and the problem became more apparent at 50 as I began to express sexual expression more freely. I now I find it is getting more intense, but I deal with it.
