Recently, the international media were awash with the story of an Italian couple whose genitals got stuck together during sex in the waters of a Porto San Giorgio beach in Italy. The duo remained locked until a woman with a towel came and helped the pair walk to the shore where a medic, called by beachgoers, brought them to a local hospital before they could be separated.

Despite the fact that this incident sounds like a scene from a trashy pornographic comedy, stories of couples getting stuck during sex are real.

Though it seemed logically impossible and downright outlandish, a handful of couples have been reported to have gotten ‘glued together’ during sexual intercourse. Such cases have been recorded in Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe.

Although many couples may experience problems after sex such as migraines, heart problems and even memory loss, the penis getting stuck into the vagina during intercourse, especially in the missionary position, is one that has lived with man for a while. Medically referred to as penis capitvus, this condition has occurred in a handful of people over the years.

The Kenyan incident in 2012 supposedly occurred after the husband paid a visit to a witch doctor after suspecting that his wife was having an affair. The media reported that the man’s wife and her lover regained their liberty after prayers and after the lover promised to pay the husband 20,000 Kenyan shillings.

Last year, the Zimbabwean media reported that a woman was bringing a law case against her long-term boyfriend for putting “runyoka” on her - a fidelity spell that caused her to get stuck in her lover. She was said to be demanding compensation from the jealous boyfriend “for humiliating her and trying to control how she should use her private part.”

Among the Yoruba of South-Western Nigeria, it is a belief that by the powers of a supernatural potion, magun, an adulterous woman can be stuck with her partner during sex after which the man vomits and dies.

Interestingly, this situation dates as far back as the 18th century. Dr F. Kräupl Taylor in a review of medical publications in the British Medical Journal in 1979, indicated that two cases were published by nineteenth-century German gynaecologists, Scanzoni (1870) and Hildebrandt (1872). They had personally dealt with this unusual problem after sex.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, indicated that Scanzoni’s patient was “a completely healthy young woman, married for six months.” She and her husband had to abstain from sexual intercourse because her intense vaginal contractions were “most painful to him and ... did on several occasions end in a spasm ... which sometimes lasted more than 10 minutes and made it impossible for the couple to separate.”

Hildebrandt’s patient had been married for about a year. Sexual intercourse with her husband had always been painless until one particular evening. Hildebrandt reported that just at the moment when he thought intercourse, which had been quite normal till then, had come to an end, he suddenly felt that he was held back deep in the vagina, tightly gripped and imprisoned, while his whole penis was in the vagina.

All attempts at withdrawal failed. When he forced the attempts, he caused severe pain to himself and his wife. Bathed in perspiration through agitation, alarm and his failure to free himself, he was finally forced to resign himself to waiting in patience. He could not say how many minutes this lasted, his imprisonment seemed endless. Minutes after, the hindrance vanished and he was free.

In spite of its occasional occurrence, Dr Augustine Takure, a consultant urologist, University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, Oyo State, stated that penis captivus is commoner in animals like dogs and stories of its incidence in humans were yet to be substantiated.

“In my practice as a medical doctor for 25 years, I have not seen any case of penile captivus; I don’t know if others have seen anything like that,” he added.

But Dr Takure, citing a reported case of a couple that had intercourse but could not be separated in the United State of America, said penile captivus usually might not last up to five minutes.

“The British Medical Journal early in the 1980s reported a couple found stuck after sexual intercourse. They were both taken to the hospital and the woman was given anesthetic drug before the man was freed. It is a rare condition in men because of the background of sexual intercourse in man which is totally different from what is in animals,” he said.

Dr Tahure said penis captivus should not be confused with Magun. “Magun simply means do not mate. The moment the man makes an attempt to have sex, he stumbles and then he starts vomiting all sorts of things. That is the essence of magun, but they do not get stuck together. That is not the essence of magun,” he added.

However, he said manifestations of magun are dependent on its constitution. “A form of magun in Ikire, Osun State, will make the man to suddenly develop a progressive pot belly that is painful. While working in the area, I attended to a case that I thought was due to an abdominal obstruction. At the operating theatre, nothing was found. Many of such men end up dying.”

Dr Takure, however, explained that penis captivus could have occurred when the penis is within the vagina and then, the muscles of the vagina clamp down on the penis much more firmly than usual.

While psychologically, some men may feel they are “stuck” with their sexual partner, experts suggest that both need to relax and take the focus off the intercourse and anything sexy. This allows blood to leave the penis, so that he can withdraw more easily. Her pelvic floor muscles will also relax so as not to clench the shaft.
