Confused, annoyed, and aroused...?
For the past week or so, I have been sexually aroused physically, but not mentally (if that makes any sense). I have no interest in sex or anything involving sex. My sister says that this is normal, that it happens to every woman, but I'm concerned. A week? And there seems to be no end in sight. I just want to feel normal again. Help?
I am 19 years old, straight, chronically single, and a virgin.

It is normal to have this sort of sexual arousal. It it is continues it is Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS).
PSAS or Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder (PGAD) is a phenomenon relating mainly to women’s sexual health, in which afflicted women complain of sudden and frequent feelings of genital arousal that are qualitatively different from the kind of sexual arousal that is associated with sexual desire or subjective arousal. Masturbation and orgasms offer little or no relief. It is a very rare condition and it is possible that sufferers don’t report the condition because of the shame and embarrassment the disclosure would involve.
In women with PSAS the normal or minor sensation from areas such as clitoris or pelvic organs get amplified and result in a persistent or permanent state of arousal at the brain level. Treatment with anti-depressants is advocated. The hypersensitivity may also result after some minor trauma to pelvic nerves or after an episode of neurological conditions such as meningitis or encephalitis.
Oxytocin release from pituitary in orgasm gives the calming effect. It reduces stress and its release in clitoral orgasm is even more.
You hve not told your age. If you are PMS stage (Pre Menopause Stage) this PSAS is normal and it will take considerable time to settle. You have also not told about your other details, Sexual and marital, without which it is difficult to say furthe. If you are sexually active having more sex with you partner may bring some relief. The treatment options for this PSAS are limited and it has to be prescribed by a qualified doctor. Please consult and do the needful. Best wishes.-
