This bears repeating.
I'm looking up stuff on OCD, because I just had a conversation with my mom about it and thought a little more information might be justified... so I did a Google search and came up with ocfoundation.org. I've seen this site before; it's the one Jamie and Ann used when they made me take the online quiz that said I probably had OCD.
Anyway. I was looking at medications that help relieve the symptoms, and found this under "Possible Side Effects":
All of these drugs commonly produce sexual side effects in both sexes that may range from lowering of sexual drive to delayed ability to have an orgasm to complete inability to have an erection or orgasm. Interestingly, there is an uncommon side effect that has been reported where patients have spontaneous orgasms while yawning. This must be quite uncommon since no patient has ever told me of such a symptom, and when patients yawn in my office, they always look bored, not excited.
Oh man. Orgasms while yawning. Now I'm DEFINITELY thinking about taking the medication! Science really IS beautiful.

Edit: This is interesting and may explain some of my other neuroses:
Below is a list of psychiatric conditions that frequently occur along with OCD:
* Additional anxiety disorders (such as panic disorder or social phobia)
* Depression/dysthymia
* Disruptive behavior disorders (such as oppositional defiant disorder, or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder)
* Learning disorders
* Tic disorders/Tourette's syndrome
* Trichotillomania (hair pulling)
* (Some days)(At least, I hope it's imagined)Body dysmorphic disorder (imagined ugliness)

My girlfriend (not to brag) is gorgeous, but unfortunately thinks otherwise sometimes. I don't know what it is with you women thinking that you are less that what you are. *sighs.* Men drool over you guys and all you can think about is whether your bum bum is too big. GOSH!
