(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A woman in Australia who suffers from a rare medical condition, where she experiences 300 orgasms a day, has met a man that she loves and that can keep up with her, reported The Daily Telegraph .

Michelle Thompson suffers from something called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome. The distinguishing feature of the syndrome is the persistent feelings of sexual arousal without any sexual desire, according to Female Patient, a health Web site . Many women describe the condition as debilitating and embarrassing.

Thompson, 43, said that she had other boyfriends during her life, but many left feeling "defeated." Her new man, Andrew Carr, 32, a neighbor, has been able to keep up with her.

"Andrew has changed my life. I'm no longer looking for a cure for my orgasms -- I've found it," Michelle told The News of the World newspaper in the U.K. "Now I have a huge grin on my face all the time, and it's not just because of the orgasms."

In a video clip on the The News of the World Web site, though, while Thompson describes the conditions, Carr smiles, squirms and nearly hides behind his girlfriend in the interview.

Later in the the clip Thompson says that she has learned to live with the condition. In fact she states that "If someone came along and put a stop to how I feel, this constant arousal, I think I would be devastated."

The condition has gotten attention from researchers. In 2006 it was explored by doctors who published their findings in the International Journal of STD & AIDS. WebMD reported that the cause is unknown and there is no agreed-upon or proven treatment.

According to a first person story on the Boing Boing Web site, the name of the condition was recently changed to Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder to remove the stigma that this is a sexual disease. PGAD will be officially recognized in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which comes out in 2012.
