A report published by a popular Italian newspaper “Il Mattino” about a couple who required hospital treatment after getting “stuck together” while having sex in the ocean, has gone viral throughout American and British national newspaper. According to the report, the couple was reportedly at the beach near Porto San Giorgio in Italy when they had sex and were unable to disengage from one another. Reports say “suction” led to them getting stuck together. According to an article by The Local, a European daily, the couple was transferred to a hospital “where the woman could be given an injection usually used to dilate the uterus of pregnant women.” However, experts told i100 (The Independent) that this case is very unlikely to be correct. Professor Helen Ward, an expert in Public Health from Imperial College London told i100 “I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, nothing’s impossible, but I think it sounds highly unlikely, since if two people got stuck together, the man would likely manage to release himself by losing his erection.” In turn, a spokesperson for Brook told i100: “It does actually have a medical term ‘penis captivus,’ and it is exceptionally rare, but it can happen and is something that occurs more frequently in animals than humans. Research suggests that, for most couples, if this happened it would last a matter of seconds, so it would be incredibly rare for a couple to require medical help.” Source
