A Seattle woman was taken to the emergency room after enduring a marathon three-hour orgasm.

The woman, known only as Liz, had the pleasure and then the pain of experiencing a seemingly never-ending climax after having sex with her partner, Eric.

The story of Liz’s marathon orgasm featured on new American cable TV show Sex Sent Me to the ER on TLC.

Liz first became concerned when her climax lasted for more than an hour and began seeking ways to end it.

“I started hopping up and down to see if that would do anything,” Liz said.

“I started trying to drink wine to see if that would calm down my system. I tried just about every possible thing I could do to stop having an orgasm.”

After two hours, she admitted herself to hospital. Initially, hospital staff suspected Liz was going into labour, but by the third hour her symptoms had begun to subside.

While some women do suffer from a rare condition called Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome, which can cause its sufferers to experience over 100 orgasms daily, it’s understood that Liz’s ordeal was just a one-off.
