Penis captivus is a rare and unusual medical condition where a man's penis becomes stuck in a woman's vagina during intercourse.
According to medical professionals, this phenomenon is not caused by witchcraft or infidelity, but rather a strong muscle contraction in the perineum, located around the vagina.
During intercourse, the muscles of the perineum can contract very strongly, completely involuntarily, causing the penis to become stuck.
It's a kind of muscle spasm around the vagina, and the woman cannot relax those muscles.
Before calling the doctor, there is a gesture that can unlock the situation. A dry and sharp finger can be inserted into the woman's anus to cause a relaxation reflex of the muscles of the perineum.
Alternatively, a sleeping pill or Valium can be given to the woman to help her relax and release her muscles, allowing the man to withdraw easily.
It's essential to note that penis captivus is a rare phenomenon, and medical professionals have only seen a few cases in their careers.
It's always best to try these gentle methods before calling for medical help, as they can help prevent any panic and discomfort.
