Just wondering if I am the only one who experiences this ... if I haven't had sex for awhile I get achy "down there." I tease my husband, telling him that I have a female hard on and sex does relieve it. Any one else ever go through this? I am in my 50's and this has been going on for a couple of years. I guess.

I definitely get that when aroused, I'm in my 30's but I e had that feeling for years! Pretty good feeling as long as you get to quench the thirst lol!

This is CONSTANT though, sexually aroused or not. Hormones are changing. FRUSTRATING!!

priapism can happen in women

article was on daily mail
she was given sudafed to reduce swelling

Seems to me like you are experiencing the same as men do, an erection. The clitoris is built with many of the same things as a penis. That includes the sponge like tissue that has the ability to erect. And I would guess it works in many of the same ways as for men, when getting aroused for some reason, blood flows into these tissues and grows and hardens it. The difference for every women would be the size and shape of these sponge like tissues. While some might not even notice them much as they for women are placed mainly inside your body others can have them more visible. Men have the frenulum that is the same as the clitoral glans. It's just a different development during pregnancy. That means the sponge like tissue ends at your clitoral glans.

I'm in no way a doctor and can not say if anything is wrong or not, but for me it seems only natural that women can get a hard on in the same way as men.

[Lexhill]

Do you have a constant hard on for a longer period of time or just get it more often than you used to? Because for men you should contact a doctor if it stays up for hours at a time. And can't get it down.

My wife is in her 50's and her sex drive went up as well.I not sure because she had a hysterectomy 20 years ago after are last daughter was born. She doesn't use the term women hard on it's I'm very moist and need attention now. So if the feeling go's away after sex then you're having same issue as my wife then.

[LuckyLucy]

Oh your poor wife. lol yes when I get that feeling it's needs attention now, too. Can be a little uncomfortable because you feel like you have a load in your panties and just wish you could burst. I haven't talked to my husband about any of this.

I think this is pretty interesting. how does this actually feel for women. For me as a man there are 2 ways of feelings that are due to arousal. an erection actually the lesser arousal of them, the other I feel is a felling of pressure at the bottom part of the penis. may stretch out to about a inch of the shaft but more on the inside. Is this in any way close to womens feeling?

[LuckyLucy]

It is difficult to describe. Like a full bladder, perhaps. A feeling of fullness and pressure down there.
