Dale Decker is a family man – loves his kids, his wife. Unfortunately for Dale, his day-to-day life as an enthusiastic dad is punctuated by uncontrollable orgasms.
“There’s nothing pleasurable about it,” says Dale in one of his brief moments of respite. Then it’s all-systems-go again and there’s Dale crumpling on a beach chair, in a picturesque field.
Dale’s eyes get distant.
“When you’re on your knees at your father’s funeral, at his casket,” he says, “and you’re saying goodbye to him, and then you have nine orgasms right there, while you whole family is standing behind you…” Dale trails off. There’s a storm a-brewing. These are the ecstasies of misery.
Here’s an interview with poor, poor Dale. Count how many times he orgasms in just these few minutes:
The official name for Dale’s condition is ‘Persistant Sexual Arousal Syndrome’. Apparently he started noticing… symptoms not long after slipping a disc in his back.
So be careful out there, you guys.

I watched a documentary on Foxtel over a year ago about a group of about 6 women who told their stories about having this exact problem. I feel terrible for those women and equally terrible for this man.
As a woman who was nearly 29 before I had my first orgasm, I started watching this doco thinking "what are they complaining about, I'd give anything for a good orgasm", I quickly realised that there is no fun to be had, and it was torture 24/7. No pleasure, just pain , and it affect every single aspect of their lives.
You wouldn't make light of this issue if you were writing about a woman, so where is your compassion for this man? This is a rare but incredibly serious issue that provides no pleasure for the sufferer.
Any flippancy regarding this man and his condition is absolutely appalling. This is not funny- it's tragic. He is also at a hugely increased risk of suicide- and tgere have been many people with this condition that have committed suicide. It's no laughing matter.
I'm also wondering if he has had a discectomy or spinal fusion- if it's a nerve impingement issue it may be able to be fixed through surgery. Unfortunately it's also possible that his nerves are irrevocably damaged, which can happen if surgery doesn't reduce the pressure on the nerve quickly enough. (I've had cauda equina, and was in theatre within 3 days of being diagnosed. Fortunately, there was minimal nerve damage). Sorry if this info is in the vid- I'm not getting any sound from it, so I don't know what he said.
