Have you experienced restless genital syndrome (RGS) or persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) alongside your Parkinson's?

While the search results don't specifically mention RGS or PGAD, they do note that sexual problems are common with Parkinson's. These can include very high sex drive or compulsive sexual behaviors, which may be related to what you're experiencing.

Some Parkinson's medications, particularly dopamine agonists, can affect sex drive and cause unusual sexual side effects. This is something worth discussing with your neurologist, as medication adjustments might help.

Sexual issues with Parkinson's can also be addressed through:
* Working with your doctor to review your medications
* Sex therapy or couples therapy
* Consulting specialists who understand Parkinson's-related sexual dysfunction

You're not alone in experiencing unusual sexual symptoms with Parkinson's. Many members of MyParkinsonsTeam discuss various sexual challenges, though they may use different terms to describe them.

Have you talked with your doctor about this specific symptom? They may have experience with other patients who've had similar experiences.
