This was on the Oprah Winfrey show a few weeks ago and I just happened to catch it!
Every week we get stacks of e-mails from viewers who have medical questions they're just too embarrassed to ask anyone—except Dr. Oz.
Marcy says every time she has sex, she has multiple orgasms—anywhere from 8 to 18. "My sister can also do this. My mother. My niece. My aunt. It's mostly on my mother's side of the family. Is it hereditary, and is it harmful to have that?" she asks.
First, Dr. Oz assures Marcy that it's definitely not dangerous and tells her she's not alone—15 percent of women experience multiple orgasms. "The bigger problem is not the one that you're sharing with us, but the fact that maybe a third of women have problems [achieving] orgasms."
Dr. Oz says women's bodies are better built for multiple orgasms than men's bodies. "The blood engorges a casing around the male organ and that goes down and doesn't come back for a while," he says. "This is why there's a refractory period—a period when the male can't have another orgasm. Women, although they do have orgasms and they get engorged with blood, don't have that similar mechanism. So they can do it repetitively."
As for the genetic link, Dr. Oz says there is probably a correlation. "We think that probably 40 percent of the likelihood of a woman having orgasms is genetic," Dr. Oz says. "The most erogenous organ in the body is the brain. Your family probably has a very active portion of the brain that controls orgasms, and there is a genetic component to it."
Oprah says, "I thought you had a problem...that's IS NOT a problem honey!"
Seriously though, a genetic link?
It just doesn't seem fair to me.pLVrk0tBTUmKJqLq

Teenager Ashleigh Morris can't go swimming, soak in a hot bath or enjoy a shower after a stressful day's work - she's allergic to water.
Even sweating brings the 19-year-old out in a painful rash.
Ashleigh, from Melbourne, Australia, is allergic to water of any temperature, a condition she's lived with since she was 14.
Ashleigh, 19, has been allergic to water for five years.
She suffers from an extremely rare skin disorder called Aquagenic Urticaria - so unusual that only a handful of cases are documented worldwide.
When Ashleigh gets wet her body explodes in sore, itchy red lumps that take about two hours to ease.
[IMG]http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii44/fysteesb/RashWaterBM_468x407.jpg[/IMG]
She has to wash. But showering is a painful experience and she can only do it for a minute at a time.
These brief showers are the only contact Ashleigh has with water. The one thing she doesn't miss is the washing up.
"People find it hard to believe, they say things like 'Oh my god, how do you wash.
The rash Ashleigh gets after coming into contact with water is MORE painful than it looks
"That makes me feel dirty, but I consider myself a very clean person," she said.
Most of us take showering for granted but for Ashleigh it's a painful endurance that often reduces her to tears.
"Although my rash is unsightly, and often looks like I'm diseased, the feeling is so much worse than it looks," she said.
"I can't go anywhere for about two hours afterwards because it's so severe.
"There's been many occasions where I've been so itchy, I've made myself bleed from scratching."
Away from water pretty Ashleigh appears like any other healthy teenager.
She leads a busy life studying Journalism and Public Relations at university and working in an office.
But if she gets wet she attracts unwanted attention.
"People stare at me in the street," said Ashleigh who lives with her mum Louise Miller, 42.
"After a shower I stay at home until it goes away, that frees me of the burden of having to explain."
Ashleigh spends a lot of time explaining her condition because few people have heard of it. Most doctors and dermatologists have never seen a case of it. "Many people don't even believe me when I tell them," said Ashleigh, who hardly believed it herself at first.
She developed the condition five years ago after an acute case of tonsillitis. She was prescribed a heavy dose of penicillin that rid her of the tonsillitis but left her with another problem.
"I suddenly started getting a rash after I showered or swam," says Ashleigh who used to swim regularly and spend a lot of time at the beach.
"I tried to ignore it but it got progressively worse so I went to see a dermatologist."
Ashleigh's dermatologist, Professor Rodney Sinclair, told her the penicillin had altered the histamine levels in her body and caused the Aquagenic Urticaria to occur.
There is no cure and no successful treatment for the condition so the gravity of the situation began to dawn on the 14-year-old Ashleigh.
"I was in disbelief for a while, but I soon realised how serious it was.
"I cried for a few hours, then picked myself up, and kept going. I realised it was something I had to live with," she says.
So Ashleigh found ways to avoid water - she stopped doing sports and anything that made her sweat.
She makes sure she stays in air-conditioned places and always has an umbrella in her car. Her family and boyfriend of three years, Adam, 23, are very supportive but her condition makes intimate moments with her Adam a little difficult.
"We have to sleep with a sheet between us at night, and I can't go near him if he's sweaty," said Ashleigh.
Even the experts seem a little vague about Aquagenic Urticaria.
Dermatologists agree there's an association with elevated blood histamine levels, but there are other processes at work since antihistamine drugs often provide no relief at all.
Nina Goad of the British Association of Dermatologists says: "There isn't a wealth of information about Aquagenic Urticaria because it's extremely rare.
"We're not sure how many cases there are in the world and we do not yet fully understand the precise mechanisms that trigger the weals."

Ok this is very interesting to me since I have been doing a lot of research on anti-depressants lately. The FDA reports that 4 % of people taking anti-depressants contemplated suicide; whereas only 2% did while taking a placebo.
Antidepressants are required to carry strong warnings about their possible link to suicidal behavior though. So it just makes me wonder.AKYcoH7DTYiexsPF

Ok so I am not saying it is impossible but a 5 minute orgasm? Christ that seems like a long time!
I can say that I have honestly experienced what is considered a megagasm. But, I don't think it was 5 minutes long...it was more like half an hour...lol...j/k.
It is almost like an out of body experience to me. Of course, Tech is right, it can only happen with the right partner.
I have always thought...the noisier the better.xFnW1eyqnhc0OuSP

I know, it seems that since she knew what she was getting herself into that she would have protected herself from getting pregnant. Also, since she is having all six men tested then that means they were all unprotected during sex. I was wondering if she contracted any diseases also Rocco.eDc9h9CN006i4Pts

BERLIN (Reuters) - A woman in Germany who became pregnant after an online sex auction has won a court battle to force the Web site that hosted the sale to reveal the names of the winners, so she can find out who's the father.
Six different men won Internet auctions to have sex with the woman in April and May last year. They were only known to her by their online names, a spokesman for a court in the southwestern city of Stuttgart said Wednesday.
"The woman wanted to discover which one of the men had made her pregnant," the spokesman said. "So she needed their contact details. Of course, if they're not willing to go along with the gene test, she'll have to take them to court."
The woman asked the site's operator to reveal the true identity of the men, but it refused, citing a confidentiality clause in its terms and conditions.
The court ruled in her favor, saying the child's right to know who its father was took precedence.
The court declined to give the woman's age and nationality.
Seriously, I didn't know people actually did this....lol

No, it was just a little too close for comfort for me. I was actually stuck in the basement of my son's school gymnasium as the tornadoes flew overhead. It was probably the scariest thing I have ever been through. The wind was blowing so hard when the second one came through that even the tornado sirens couldn't be heard. Then, we lost all service on our cell phones and we had know idea what was happening outside. It was just plain scary!!!!

Here are a few pictures of the total loss of the town. It's total devastation. And, what makes it even worse, is even through all of this tragedy the town still has to deal with looters! Emergency people are having to take precious time away from looking for survivors to deal with a bunch of idiots trying to steal from people who have already lost nearly everything!!!!
