Although a climax or orgasm is considered one of the greatest pleasures in life, when a person comes 100 times a day, it becomes painful and makes life difficult.

Such is the "hard" life that 37-year-old Dale Decker from Wisconsin is suffering the past two years after he suffered from a slipped disk in his back in September 2012 when he got out of a chair. Doctors diagnosed his ailment as Persistent Genital Arousal Syndrome (PGAD).

While he was on his way to the hospital to have his back checked, Decker came five times. Ever since, he keeps on having orgasms at different times of the day, making it difficult for him to have a normal life.

He once experience ejaculating nine times while attending his dad's funeral, prompting Decker to say, quoted by the New York Post, "It makes you never want to have another orgasm for as long as you live ... There's nothing pleasurable about it because even though it might feel physically good - you're completely disgusted by what's going on."

The medical condition, initially document by Dr Sandra Leiblum in 2001, was included in May 2013 in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders V. A Dutch study estimates 7,000 cases of PGAD globally.

While the ailment caused Decker to be afraid of leaving the house because of several embarrassing experiences, the irony is that he couldn't have satisfactory sex with his 33-year-old wife April because of it even if his penis is in a constant state of erection.

Since the orgasms occur even at night, the couple decided to sleep in separate beds. April admits, "It's really upsetting, we don't do things that man and wife should do and we argue over things that should not be affecting us."

Decker said they occasional have sex but usually end up frustrated because the ailment causes him "unable to finish."

But more than the lack of intimacy, PGAD also prevents Decker from working, leaving the burden of working for their family on the wife. The couple has two sons, 12-year-old Christian and 11-year-old Tayten.

Since it is a relatively newly discovered medical condition, there is not much information on the ailment. The syndrome, according to some recorded cases, was caused by a pelvic arterial-venous malformation with arterial branches to the penis or clitoris. And in such cases, surgery was effective, but there is no evidence of the long-term efficacy or intervention by surgery. In one instance, the symptoms were relieved by varenicline, which is a treatment for nicotine addiction.
