Does this sound like Genital Arousal Disorder?

Postby chuchu » Fri Feb 05, 2016 10:53 am

Helloo,
So before visiting a doctor I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this.
I'm a 23 year old female and I'm a virgin. I was never interested in sex as a teenager, but over the past year I've been interested in having a boyfriend.
Basically, I very, very rarely feel any sort of sexual arousal (a few times a year, if that?) I couldn't even tell you if it even is arousal. I feel a sensation (and it feels quite good) but it's more uncomfortable. I'd usually wake up feeling it and it would pass.

In the past couple of weeks though I've noticed this sensation more, and it's lasting longer and whilst I'm with a friend or out with family. I woke up this morning with the sensation after I've felt anxious over some things. I've been off work for 14 weeks due to panic attacks and anxiety, and I have a feeling it's anxiety related... But I feel really uncomfortable because I don't understand the sensation. I can "come out" of the feeling if I keep myself busy, or sit a different way, but it does creep back in and out for around 30 minutes. I don't reach an orgasm, but then I've never had one, so I can't tell if my body wants that to happen? I don't want to incase my body wants that each time :oops:
If I pull in my pelvic floor the feeling is still there and I'm concerned it may be a Genital arousal disorder. My anxiety flares up when I feel this way and so I'm worried it's going to become a cycle... only one that's harder to get over.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!
chuchu

Hello, chuchu!

While I am no doctor, I can't speak medically to your problem.
I can, however, and please let me know if I am being too forward, suggest exploring these "sensations" through masturbation?

I figure there's no way to know what these feelings are(outside of a certified Doctor) without using the tools you have and doing some spelunking! Maybe throw on a porno and set the mood for yourself, see how things go?

If you are uncomfortable with this, I totally understand, and excuse me if I am saying too much! My opinion is to find what you're comfortable with, and see how things turn out. If not, you can always go get the opinion of a professional!

I think fearing these mysterious functions of your body will be less than beneficial to your situation!
