Medical experts have discredited a popular myth called magun (charm) that many people believe is responsible for couples getting stuck during intercourse.

The physicians who gave detailed reasons couples get stuck during sex which they noted was a medical condition, said there was no scientific evidence to show that the occurrence was as a result of a charm or spell.

According to the experts, getting stuck during intercourse is a medical condition known as penis captivus and has nothing to do with charm.

The senior health practitioners explained that Penis captivus is an occurrence during sexual intercourse when the muscles in the vagina clamp down on the penis more firmly than usual, making it harder (or impossible) to remove the penis from the vagina.

Also, an India’s dedicated sexual wellness clinic, Allo Health, says Penis captivus is a rare and unusual sexual condition that occurs when the muscles in the vaginal wall involuntarily contract and clamp down on the penis during intercourse.

The clinic notes when this happens, the penis gets stuck in the vagina and cannot be withdrawn, saying that this condition can be a frightening and uncomfortable experience, leaving both partners feeling embarrassed and helpless.

Though the causes of penis captivus are not fully understood, the clinic added that some theories suggest that the condition could occur due to excessive contraction of the vaginal muscles during an orgasm or an accidental clamping down on the penis during sex.

Experts in the field of urology and sexology who spoke exclusively with PUNCH Healthwise in different interviews maintained that it was very possible for a penis to get stuck inside a vagina during intercourse.

They urged those affected to seek help from experts as any effort to forcefully remove the penis will not only hurt them deeply but could lead to loss of lives.

The physicians regretted that the occurrence was often misinterpreted to be a trap or punishment meted out to an unfaithful wife by her husband or the gods, thereby denying those affected access to good and timely interventions.

A Consultant Family Physician at Anambra State Ministry of Health, Awka, Dr Chidumeje Okafor, who successfully separated a couple that were stuck in the state recently, speaks on the condition and how to treat such conditions.

Okafor, who also works at Iyi-Enu Teaching Hospital Ogidi, said, “Last week, a man (32) and a lady (25) were brought to the hospital in a Sienna bus and were tied together with a wrapper. They were in a sex position called spooning. The man was taking her from behind before the muscle spasm occurred.

“Muscle spasms occur when muscle involuntarily and forcibly contracts uncontrollably and can’t relax. That morning, as they were having sex, the lady achieved orgasm and sex became painful for them.

“Unfortunately, the man couldn’t withdraw his penis from the lady’s vagina when he started feeling the pains. They called a pastor who told them that the lady was married to a mermaid and it was the mermaid that used magun on her.

“Hearing that, I quickly admitted them and gave the lady a dose of anesthesia and some pain relievers. I also gave it to the man. After that, I started calming the lady down and eventually, I separated them. They were discharged almost immediately. They were victims of penis captivus.”

He continued, “Penis captivus occurs when the muscles of vagina clamp down severely on the penis, preventing the man from withdrawing. This situation is common to people with a history of vaginismus.

“This is the body’s automatic reaction to the fear of some or all types of vaginal penetration. Whenever penetration is attempted, your vaginal muscles tighten up on their own. You have no control over it.

“There are two types of vaginismus that affect young or elderly people. One affects very religious people who have never had any vagina penetration before. The other may be those who have had penetration and later stopped due to an unpleasant experience.
“Vaginismus is the risk factor for penis captivus, while vaginitis, sexual assault, infections, and endometriosis are risk factors for vaginismus.

“The muscles that are implicated in this are mostly the muscle of pelvic floor called the levator ani muscle which provides support to the pelvic visceral structures and plays an important role in urinary voiding, defecation and sexual function.”

The physician added, “These muscles are puborectalis, pubococcygeus and iliococcygeus. They are like diaphragms of the pelvic floor. The diaphragm prevents the chest organs, lungs and the heart, from falling into the abdomen. These three muscles also prevent organs of the pelvic from falling.

“So in penis captivus, these muscles contract intensely thereby preventing the penis from pulling out. When this happens, it’s advised that you don’t panic or allow anxiety to set in. Don’t be afraid, the more you try to forcefully remove it, the more it holds you down and you end up injuring yourselves. Call for help.”

Also, a Professor of Surgery and Consultant Urologist at the University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers State, Onyeanunam Ekeke, affirmed that “the condition is medical and not magun as people would say, especially the Yorubas, urging the victims to seek medical attention to save their lives.

“Penis captivus is an involuntary muscle spasm, painful contractions and tightening of the muscles wall of vagina, preventing any form of penetration, whether finger, penis or anything. These muscles contract intensely thereby preventing the penis from pulling out.”

He, however, believes that with the new cases being recorded in recent times, penis captivus would gain wide publicity to stimulate research on the topic to end the backlash that comes with it.

In a 2015 article published in European Scientific Journal which centered on magun, the authors said generically, the word magun is a Yoruba word that is fast enjoying global semantic attention particularly as it denotes mysterious phenomena by which it has generated several questions.

“Researchers have attempted to define magun as a mystical-sexual enchantment or embargo placed on a woman (usually by her husband) to check her infidelity or as a deterrent to many (men) who otherwise could have been reckless in their sexual life.

“While it appears easier to answer the question of definition or what magun is, the workings of this phenomenon have continued to spawn puzzles and inquisitiveness thus, it generates more questions and questionings”, the authors said.

But why does it mostly happen with adulterers?

The charm will always make it look natural. Charm is not magic that mostly looks unnatural.

Go to Idiroko or other parts of Yewa in Ogun state, bordering the neighbouring Benin Republic, and sleep with someone's wife or daughter who have already been laced. Then it msy be too late for you to learn that magun wss just a myth, but a deadly reality .

This mostly happen to adulterers.

Doctor go and sleep with Yoruba man wer Sabi wife, let me see if you will not stock inside the V

Good question. For the doctor to complete his research work on this, he should try himself with magun charm then get the result before coming online to rant.

Well, medically there will always be an explanation but we know it's beyond that.

Thanks for that. But pls can u explain the nature of the force that lifts those fornicating men up and slams them down b4 they eventually die?

The one they get stuck together is not magun. Magun in Yoruba land has different types,...

This might be the reason why I prefer using Vaseline because at least, my left hand wouldn't get stuck on my penis. If I decide to follow the footsteps of NwaAmaikpe, I might end up begging a Yoruba man with words like baba I swear this is my first time and ejor, yeye!

I wonder why this magun hasn't been used on all these potbellied politicians and "chiefs" sleeping with married women in Sheraton hotel.

Na wow o every action has explanation , how can the vagina trap the penis when it’s being lubricated during intercourses

Lazy Nigerian medical scientists.....they said there is no scientific evidence it is charm.
Is science supposed to have evidence for charm in the first place..

It's not magic, but these local herbalist however have an edible herb that can trigger it..........its what they give to the suspecting husband to give to the wife who eats it without knowing.....a trip to a few of these herbalist can solve the mystery ....

All of the cases we have seen..the husband of the adulterous woman never denies being aware ..... So why are they calling it rare and random occurrence....... The thing is quite common among adulterous women...... In fact na only adulterous women...

First paragraph af poster above me was taken outta my mouth.

You no fit see juju for microscope ....

If the cause of it are not fully known then it's spiritual... Na magun

Has the whites ever experienced it?

You need to understand human mind and Psych.

When adulterers are having sex, there is always fear in their mind.

To the woman, there is fear of been caught (esp if it's her first time of cheating) and this fear is what trigger that muscle spasm.

Once the fear is there, the body is already sensing that this sex/penetration shouldn't be happening, hence the spasms comes so as to lock the Vagina. Some spasms do occur even before penetration starts and the man will find it difficult to even penetrate the lady.

Thanks for the explanation, you are not like the regular kind of guys in this forum who would have rather attacked than explain.

All these researchers are not doing their work, what cost them to call in this charm people for experiment.
All this talk and no action Na 🐂 shit

Spot on, even a simple Google searching will show you videos of white couples who have penis capture and they don't believe in magun. Though it will be lesser there because even when you are caught as woman over there, the repercussion will be less compare to here were you will be humiliated before being chased out.

Africa man always have a lazy way of thinking, even with the advent of smart phones their mind is very much still backward.

Go to Idiroko or other parts of Yewa area that share border with neighbouring country of Benin Republic, and sleep with someone's wife or daughter that has been already laced, then it would be too late for you to have a change of mind about magun not just being a myth, but a deadly reality .

Na lie there is nothing like magun, I'm talking from experience

There is nothing like magun.

I have banged enough married women to know

Mostly fools...

Particularly Africans practicing a caricature of the white man's culture and ready to throw away their past history believe charms, magic or spells do not work.

How can the existence of the spiritual be proven in a lab?


Let them continue to live in denial!

You play with this thing all over nairaland, maybe it's your fantasy but don't ever practicalize it, it's bad

Is it every adulterous woman...

That carries magun? It - magun is intentionally put in a woman's body.

No worry time dey come wey your cup go full reach brim.

Continue to sleep with people wife... And be proud about it. Untill you meet a very jealous husband!

EreluRoz:

That's a good question. But it's not because it's jazz.

It happens mostly to adulterers because of fear of being caught.

See, your culture, which gives you your beliefs has already programmed your body using the things you believe. Your actions comes from your beliefs.

So, if your culture sincerely believes that having extra-marital affair would "magun" both participants, your body system would react in accordance with that if you go against it.

If you read carefully, the author said "There are two types of vaginismus that affect young or elderly people. One affects very religious people who have never had any vagina penetration before. The other may be those who have had penetration and later stopped due to an unpleasant experience".

The comment above is the real deal. It's the metaphysics of the magun that our ancestors had known since time immemorial. But the problem is that our ancestors dealt with it metaphysically, while white people deal with it scientifically. But they're both saying the same thing!!

African knowledge/s are not being captured as knowledge in school. We have surrendered the power to know to foreigners and have no longer a self inspired knowledge. That's why magun is today relegated to being mythology.

Magun is caused by phycology and belief.

Lol 😃😄

bring your assignment

Ok

Hmmm, them these people nor know anything. Make dem pray make dem no jam am. In fact, the only way I'll believe the writer(s) is if they can try having sex with a lady laced with magun, if nothing happen, then I go believe them.
