Woman Claims Wii Fit Caused Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome
Amanda Flowers always liked her Wii Fit but now she can't get enough of it. Amanda claims a fall from her balance board damaged a nerve and has left her suffering from persistent sexual arousal syndrome. From the article: "The catering worker said: 'It began as a twinge down below before surging through my body. Sometimes it built up into a trembling orgasm.' A doctor diagnosed her with persistent sexual arousal syndrome due to a damaged nerve."
"nice"
The Daily Star, seriously? Get your act together /.
The Star? Come on, really?
Why not the National Enquirer? Or the Globe?
Woman Claims Wii Fit Caused Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome
And now the obligatory: Correlation doesn't mean causation.
The question is whether to post warning or pitch it as a benefit of using the Wii Fit. With the right ad they could be harder to find than a Tickle Me Elmo.
Uhm, wait a second, this is Slashdot, we aren't supposed to talk about how we meet lovely women and sleep with them. We're supposed to all be bitter about having never gotten laid. Way to end the stereotypes!

This is definitely possible. I don't understand the slightly derogatory tone in the article/summary.
Well, the derogatory tone in the article is par for the course for this particular rag. I think there is some kind of a rule that the Daily Star, the Daily Mail and a few others have to publish at least one perpetual arousal symptom story per month (the sufferer is always young, female and unattached). Then there is the story about the adulterer, from the mistress' point of view but trashing her nevertheless, the fat lady trying every diet possible story... etc. These stories are all pretty sordid, sad and derogatory toward women. I hate them, but they have a very distinct, disturbing pull...
And finally, since I'm on a rant, TFA isn't even an article, it's a friggin' blurb advertising an article in a magazine!
Seriously.

There, FTFY.
He was happy for the first few days. Now he's just desperate for a good night's sleep.

Depends on your point of view I guess. Personally, I think if you haven't broken furniture at least once you're not doing it right.

Sheesh, get a room. Nobody wants to know about you and your RealDoll.
Q. What do you call a "male nymphomaniac"?
A. Redundant.
Oh, but there's a lot of code between panic() and the end of the block.
In soviet russia the government regulates the companies.
But have you considered what fresh hell it must be for her? She has to exist with a condition that best leaves her unable to control how/when she experiences sexual desire. And unlike guys, she can't just "ignore it." It would be like walking around with a boner that won't go down. It would be socially painful to do anything normal, go watch kids on a playground for example. Can you imagine the pure humilation she experiances when she doesn't have control over her body?

Ok. Seriously. A single 24 year old with a Wii Fit, that managed to fall off. And you want to get with this person ? Are you sure Amanda is not actually 3 people (or the size of...) ?

You obviously didn't read the footnote, that says "but really, if that happens then you're doing it wrong".
I read that post (probably by the same author as the GGP) long enough to say:
What the shit?
God damn, people, different people have different libidos. We don't have to kill each other over it.
It's better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don't want and get it.

Everyone thinks the installment plan is cheaper but they don't read the fine print. Pay as you go will save you money and will get you a much better product.
this is the daily star reporting it. That means to me it's probably a fake.
Why? It seems most people come here in their work time, so having a wife/girlfriend or not should really make a difference. Unless having a wife/gf changes nerds habits and they start logging to Facebook and growing virtual carrots instead of logging to /. and make ignorant rants.
I usually log on to /. during classes, so my time for socializing isn't affected.

Are you going to clean that up?
I know it does. A friend got one for her birthday once, with explicit instructions to don it immediately.
The remote was passed around the party.
She soon developed an amusing twitch in her conversations...
