New Medical Condition Affecting Only Men Makes Them Horny All The Time

We're all aware that getting a man aroused is not difficult.  Simply mention something even remotely sexual, and he's done for.  However, that's not to say that being horny is always healthy.  In fact, for some men, being aroused is an illness.  While this might seem a bit insane, it turns out that horniness is an affliction for some fellas — even though they'd really not accept that fact.  Keep reading to discover a new medical condition affecting only men that makes them horny all the time.

Horny men. When a man gets horny, he’s excited. This is obvious enough. However, it turns out that male arousal isn’t quite as simple as it seems — at least, not in all cases. While most gentleman enjoy popping boners whenever they make themselves known, some fellas have quite an issue with this particular physical activity, no matter how natural it may be.

It never stops. Believe it or not, there’s actually a condition that a man can become afflicted with that keeps him horny pretty much around the clock. We’re talking 24/7 boner. We’re talking 24/7 horniness. We’re talking 24/7 “I need to rub one out ASAP.” However, funny though it may seem on paper, in reality, it can one hell of a nuisance.

Restless Genital Syndrome. This particular affliction is referred to as “restless genital syndrome” (or RGS), according to MensHealth.com. Most guys will likely laugh this off (or straight up laugh at it), but the truth is, like any other medical condition, it’s hardly a laughing matter.

Women only. For some time, this condition has existed, but it’s only ever affected women. Men got the shaft (but thankfully). However, as fate would have it, men are now in the running for RGS, and they’re not exactly pleased. While it may not rank with any life-threatening illness, it’s still an issue all the same.

Horny, but not by choice. What’s wild about this condition is that a guy can feel turned on without actually feeling turned on. He’ll have all the “symptoms,” which is to say his genitals will feel as though they might were he to look at something that would typically turn him on, but they’re not brought on by any genuine stimulant. They just… show up.

Casual boner. Now, it’s only natural that any guy who’s ever woken up with a boner is worrying that he has “restless genital syndrome.” However, he really shouldn’t. The thing is, gents, pretty much every guy wakes up with a boner. It’s just nature. So, no, that doesn’t mean you have any condition whatsoever. However, it won’t hurt to keep an eye out for symptoms.

What to look for. If you’re wondering if you have RGS, keep an eye out for the symptoms. Are your genitals sensitive, even though you haven’t touched them? Are they throbbing at all? Tingling, even? If you’ve answered yes to these, even though you hadn’t stimulated yourself, then you may want to get checked out.

Understanding the condition. Since it seems like such an odd condition, it took a medical study for researchers to understand exactly what it was. Led by associate professor and residency program director at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine’s Division of Urology, Tobias Köhler, M.D., the study explored a particular man who was suffering from this condition.

You do or you don’t. As of now, there’s no conclusive evidence pointing to a reason why anyone would be suddenly afflicted by this condition. It appears to come at random. However, more tests will need to be performed in order to understand the condition completely.

Being provoked. Any guy understands that getting a “no apparent reason boner” (or NARB) is common. However, a guy with RGS is affected constantly, and any random stimulants that would affect any other guy affects them, as well, just to a much higher degree.

Stimulated versus unstimulated. If a guy with RGS is in a car and hits some bumpy terrain, then you can pretty much guarantee that he’ll be aroused by it. However, the same can be said about a guy with RGS who’s literally just sitting down, staring at a wall, so it’s really difficult to get to the bottom of it.

The phantom pleasure. As pleasurable as the feeling of arousal may be, RGS does not offer any pleasure. While the arousal brought on by it is not painful, the consistency of it removes any pleasure from it. It turns horniness into an issue that needs fixing, rather than a pleasurable experience that benefits from added stimulation.

Fixing the problem. So, is there a way to fix the problem? Yes and no. There’s technically a fix, but it’s a quick fix, and it’s hardly revolutionary. If a guy with RGS wants to give his symptoms a break, he needs to masturbate. However, once they orgasm, the symptoms come back soon enough anyways, so it’s hardly a helpful option.

A rarity. All that doctors can really put their money on is the fact that nerve signals are not working the way they ought to be. Your brain is pretty much bullsh*tting your genitals, trying to convince them that you’re horny, even though you’re clearly not. This is moment in time when it would great if we could have a one-way line to our brain, without all of the goddamn confusion.

Until the cure comes. For now, anyone — man or woman — with RGS has ways to soften the effects, though nothing is guaranteed. Some doctors may recommend you take various SSRI’s (selective serotonin uptake inhibitors) to control the gears inside your body. In some cases, it’s known to lower the user’s libido.
