Mum Joleen Baughman's life is made hell by a car crash injury that left her constantly craving sex.

The smash two years ago damaged a nerve in her pelvis which controls desire, leaving it permanently switched on.

It means Joleen, 39, becomes aroused by even the slightest movement - while vacuuming, sitting on a bus, bending over or walking across a room.

She said: "It's unbearable. Just my clothes rubbing gets me so aroused that I can hardly think straight.

"It's very embarrassing and it's impossible to concentrate."

The mum of two is officially suffering from a rare condition known as Restless Genital Syndrome or Persistent Sexual Arousal.

Joleen, of New Mexico, says even regular sex with husband of 20 years Brian does not alleviate her symptoms.

She added: "We'd have sex once and I'd feel no release at all.

"So we'd go again and then it would start really hurting but I would still want sex, even more than before.

"If my husband managed to go for a third time it would be agony but I would still feel no release.

"Being aroused pretty much 24-hours a day is exhausting.

"It's so embarrassing. I have to try to keep my feelings under control and to ignore them so I can get on with normal life.

"But I often worry people can guess what I'm feeling even though they can't."

Joleen, who has to take sleeping pills at night, added: "If my urges get really strong I lie down very still so there is no vibration at all and that helps a little bit.

"It's mind over matter. But I'm hoping a medical cure can be found in the future."
