'Orgasm overload' woman meets her match

A woman with a medical condition that makes her have more than 300 orgasms a day says she has finally found happiness — thanks to her "sexually-charged" new boyfriend.

British woman Michelle Thompson suffers from Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), meaning she has an insatiable sexual appetite and can climax at any time without warning.

Ms Thompson, 42, told British tabloid the News Of The World that coming to terms with the condition had been tough but she had learned to enjoy it.

"I know I'm lucky to have so many orgasms when there are women who have never had one," she said.

Ms Thompson said her new boyfriend Andrew Carr was able to cope with her condition, which she credits with destroying previous relationships.

The pair have sex at least 10 times every day, she said.

"Andrew has changed my life … I'm no longer looking for a cure for my orgasms — I've found it," she said.

Ms Thompson, a mother-of-four, said her longest relationship had lasted five years and ended with her boyfriend leaving an "exhausted … defeated man".

Noisy sex woman loses appeal bid

A woman who was banned from making loud noises during sex has lost an appeal against her conviction.

Caroline and Steve Cartwright's love-making was described as "murder" and "unnatural" at Newcastle Crown Court.

Neighbours, the local postman and a woman taking her child to school complained about the noise.

Mrs Cartwright, 48, from Washington on Wearside, lost the appeal against a conviction for breaching a noise abatement notice.

She argued she had a right to "respect for her private and family life" under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act.

But Recorder Jeremy Freedman, sitting with two magistrates, rejected her claim that she could not help making the loud noise during sex.

He said: "We are in no doubt whatsoever about the level of noise that can be heard in neighbouring properties, in the street and in the back lane.

"It certainly was intrusive and constituted a statutory nuisance. It was clearly of a very disturbing nature and it was also compounded by the duration - this was not a one-off, it went on for hours at a time.

"It is further compounded by the frequency of the episode, virtually every night."

Fruit bats use oral sex to prolong the deed

Scientists say behavior represents an X-rated first for adult non-humans

When they do their thing, female Chinese fruit bats add oral sex to get the males to prolong the act, scientists now find, suggesting the behavior confers evolutionary benefits.

Oral sex, or fellatio, is often used in human foreplay, the researchers noted, but rarely seen in other animals. As such, there have been few evolutionary reasons given for oral sex to date, and fellatio is largely thought confined to humans, although juvenile members of the chimpanzee-like bonobo do it for play.

Now scientists find the short-nosed fruit bat (Cynopterus sphinx) routinely engages in oral sex, the first time fellatio has been seen in adult animals other than humans. The researchers argue the act likely has evolutionary benefits.

Scientists at the Guangdong Entomological Institute in Guangzhou, China, and their colleagues investigated bats they captured at a nearby park. Although bats comprise the second largest order of mammals at more than 1,100 species, little is known about their mating habits because of their nocturnal lifestyle and their often-inaccessible roosts. The researchers were originally expecting to watch behaviors such as grooming or the construction of tents from Chinese fan-palm leaves.

"We did not expect fellatio in fruit bats at the beginning," said researcher Libiao Zhang, a biologist at the Guangdong Entomological Institute in Guangzhou, China. "We were also surprised at how often it occurred."
