Thread: Need a name for a sexual disorder

sneezes at them.. doubt it is a condition... Sexual attraction to sneezing, i've heard of that.

blimey
you're not sneezing every 6 seconds, are you?

whoa,
deja vu

Goodness, that would suck for the men who supposedly think about sex every 20-something seconds

I have formed an hypothesis. Supposedly the glands inside the nose engorges themselves with blood analagous to certain body parts. Physiologically after sneezing the body feels the closest related thing to sexual release. I just need a name to research it further.

Nasalsexuitis

<narrows eyes> And to think I searched that.

Try "Nasal Euphoric Phenomenon" to start.

Sexuallergia is probably the closest I could get you. It's not an actual medical condition, as far as I know, but seeing as how medical terminology is derived from combined forms of Latin terms, that would be the most accurate way to put it.

[Edit: Although, to be completely honest with you, neurosis is a more fitting word, because the "condition" that you are describing is not a actual physical condition. It is all in your head.]

Interesting... so accordingly to wikipedia I'm actually mentally inbalaced? Neurosis is a broad feild that includes pyromania and OCD. I don't know what to say...

Yeah, it's a very broad field. Without knowing more about your own feelings toward sexual content, it seems like it might possibly be a level of Hysteria, in that:

Hysteria, in its colloquial use, describes a state of mind, one of unmanageable fear or emotional excesses. The fear is often centered on a body part, most often on an imagined problem with that body part (disease is a common complaint). People who are "hysterical" often lose self-control due to the overwhelming fear.

Though, since:

Psychiatrists and other physicians have in theory given up the use of "hysteria," replacing it with more euphemistic terms that are essentially synonyms. These include "psychosomatic," "functional," "nonorganic," "psychogenic," and "medically unexplained." In 1980 the American Psychiatric Association officially changed the diagnosis of “hysterical neurosis, conversion type” to “conversion disorder.” Hysteria also has significant overlap with the diagnostic term "somatization disorder" and with somatoform disorders in general.

I really wouldn't know of a euphemism to give your particular case, besides sexuallergia, or just calling it a psychosomatic condition.
