Woman Turned into 'Sex Addict' After Using Wii Fit
Men the world over are greasing up their wives' balance boards.
A woman in England is reportedly contracted a condition after suffering a fall while using her Wii Fit balance board. The Daily Star (via Yahoo!) reports that 24 year-old Briton Amanda Flowers has been turned into a "sex addict" because of an injury contracted while using Wii Fit. Flowers supposedly fell when using the peripheral and, thanks to a damaged nerve, developed a condition called persistent sexual arousal syndrome.
This condition means that Flowers, a catering working from Manchester, is turned on by even the slightest vibrations. The Daily Star reports it can be anything from a food processor to a vibrating cell phone.
Amanda says each attack begins "as a twinge down below before surging through my body." She adds, "Sometimes it built up into a trembling orgasm."
Flowers says there's no cure for the disorder. "With no cure I just have to try to control my passion by breathing deeply. Hopefully one day I'll find a superstud who can satisfy me."
Luckily for Amanda, I've enlisted the help of Nurse Google and Doctor Wikipedia who say there are some treatments that can help cure persistent sexual arousal disorder.
"In some recorded cases, the syndrome was caused by a pelvic arterial-venous malformation with arterial branches to the penis or clitoris; surgical treatment was effective in this case. In other situations where the cause is unknown or less easily treatable, the symptoms can sometimes be reduced by the use of antidepressants, antiandrogenic agents and anaesthetising gels. Psychotherapy with cognitive reframing of the arousal as a healthy response may also be used.More recently, the symptoms of the condition have also been linked with pudendal nerve entrapment. Regional nerve blocks and less common surgical intervention have demonstrated varying degrees of success in most cases.
In one recent case, serendipitous relief of symptoms was noted from treatment with varenicline, a treatment for nicotine addiction."
If this story is true (and we're a little doubtful), we don't think it's fair to refer to this woman as a sex addict. It's clearly not an addiction as much as it is an affliction. Then again, how bad would it be to afflicted with earth-trembling orgasms all the live long day? Actually that sounds quite tiring, nevermind.

Bored housewives may have just found the simple cure to their lackluster husbands....the new WII-Gasm!
I had this condition once... it lasted the span of my teenage years, oh and I'm a guy.
sounds like she the one that owes Nintendo money...
oh but uh, if you fall off your bike and injure yourself, unless the bike was faulty, you don't get to sue the bike company because of inability to properly ride a bike.
Pictures or it didn't happen...
Is it weird that this turned me on?
In news today, Nintendo (NTDOY) has tripled its revenue..surprisingly thanks to the female demographic
I think she can sue you over the sex addict part lol... but everything said here can come true... and i still dont know of any actuall cures, since what you discribed there are more like things to numb the sensitivity then actually cure her... PS: this happens "all" the time did we really need to read this because it mentions a Wii? :S
Sounds like awesome if you can turn it off, lol.
Is it weird that this turned me on?
No one's here to judge, man.
That's what they make those little dolphin toys for that fit under their undergarments...
'"This condition means that Flowers, a catering working from Manchester, is turned on by even the slightest vibrations.""
She became a man?
Is it weird that this turned me on?
Yep
"The Daily Star", stopped reading here. For those of you not accustomed to British papers, The Daily Star is not a valid source for anything. No matter how shitty the story.
It's worse then Fox news for fucks sake, they probably just made it up on the spot.

That comment made my day.....Thanks!!!
So she now feels a thrill going down her leg? Chris Mathews, where are you?
Just so you know, the article doesn't mention anything about lawsuits, so there's no reason to assume that she's going to sue anyone....if she exists...
Thank you for this wonderful article. Again, this MADE MY DAY.
This has got to be a joke!
I think every guy is gonna go out and buy his wife a Wii fit now
She'd be the Ultimate Wife!
You'd never have to worry about having to hear her say
"Not tonight tonight honey, I have a headache"
Plus to top it off, there would be no need for you to go to the gym to workout any more!
Nintendo should just restitue by sending her a howto for enabling the Rumble feature in her wiimote.
Seems Fake but its funny as anything O.o bet her boyfriend is pleased

Or, she'd say, "Not tonight honey, my crazy disorder has already gotten me off 15 times today."
What does she look like? Maybe I can offer her some therapy!
We must kill the Alien Wizzard living at independence hall. This this whole thing will go away.
There was a documentary on discovery health regarding this disorder. It certainly is intereting. The lady ended up divorcing her husband because he couldn't please her the way she wanted.
Where can I get one for my wife?
NIIIIIIIIIIIIICE
Hey... Who could have thought that Wii could be so useful...?
Not...
