Our article Congenital insensitivity to pain doesn't discuss about Orgasm anywhere. Rizosome (talk) 03:14, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Why wouldn't they? Orgasm is not normally painful.--Shantavira|feed me 08:07, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Orgasm uses some of the same pathways as pain. There is overlap in the scientific literature on this, nothing conclusive. It may depend on which gene is not functioning. Patients with congenital insensitivity to pain are extremely rare. One patient, when given naloxone to treat his insensitivity, reported that he was feeling an all-over-his-body orgasm, which suggests that 1) there is a connection, and 2) he already had been having orgasms.
