Peri‑orgasmic syndromes as clinical category

A small but non‑negligible minority of women report consistent peri‑orgasmic reactions — giggling, crying, sneezing, headaches, paresthesia and other physical/emotional effects — that appear distinct from ordinary variability in sexual response. Existing knowledge is sparse (Lauren Streicher’s anonymous survey: ~3,800 respondents, 86 positive cases, ~2.3%), suggesting a defined, researchable cluster rather than isolated anecdotes. — If validated, recognizing and studying peri‑orgasmic syndromes would change clinical guidance, diagnostic coding, sexual‑health counseling, and neurologic/psych research priorities for women’s health.
