If it is a syndrome then the words in the title are capitalised. FearÉIREANN 01:01, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC) Not necessarily.
Mainichi itself is a reliable news source. It is referencing the Shukan Post, which I think is closer to a tabloid. I don't think it's unbiased reporting (neutral point of view) to link the Mainichi article about the Shukan Post article. --SFTheWanderer 16:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm guessing PSAS can also affect men... --Kitetsu 11:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Why is this a bad thing? --Aristox 15:26, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, Kitetsu, PSAS could potentially affect men as well. There are several men listed as members on the support forums, and they complain of the same feelings that the women do. Research hasn't been done to the point of including men, however, but the symptoms are often similar; constant, painful arousal, disassociation of pleasure relating to orgasm, and, in some cases, the wish to never have an orgasm again. There is no regular orgasmic feeling anymore; There is trauma and pain now associated with something that is supposed to be fun and normal. It's very distressing and humiliating for these women (and men) because they are looked upon as freaks or "lucky," even by medical professionals. The forum is going strong, as is the Yahoo group that was created. Personally, I don't think this topic should be merged with anything because it is its own subject and diagnosis and taking away the name put to the feelings would potentially trivialize the suffering the afflicted go through. We could capitalize it if necessary, however, if that's how it should be. Jennifer Radcliffe 07:55, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't know why anyone would want to merge this with clitorism, the two articles describe completely different syndromes.
- Yeah, I don't see it either. From the descriptions the two conditions seem independent of each other. 68.149.166.16 06:51, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
This article is well-sourced and I don't think the unsourced template applies, therefore I have removed it.Typing monkey 06:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
The link to source number 2 no longer functions properly. Reyemile (talk) 07:55, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
