It's not fun to be aroused all the time,' she said. 'It feels like you're about to orgasm and then it never goes away.

When she first became sexually active she was having sex a lot,' she said. My whole family just thought she was a w****.
I doubted her completely - I still feel guilty.

Relationships are really hard to keep with this problem. 'But he never once has judged me, he never made me feel bad about working. It was love at first sight.'
She added that her condition affects the couple's sex life 'tremendously'.
You'd think that you could have sex and it would just go away, but it doesn't,' she said.
Sometimes I will be crying and begging him to have sex with me just to relieve some of the pressure that I have down there.
Her partner JoJo said:
When she first told me I didn't know how to feel about it but I liked her so I was prepared to jump in.

Because it's such a rare diagnosis and there's been such little research we don't know exactly what causes it. We suspect it's multifactorial, said assistant professor of neurology at Michigan University Dr Priyanka Gunta, who is currently treating Ms McLaughlin.
I don't have a quick cure for this but we're going to be trying a few different therapies. I'm very hopeful that we can get her functioning better.Photo source: BBC
