Sexual lock is medical, not spiritual – Dr Constantini

A Specialist Obstetrician Gynaecologist, Dr. Dixie Constantini of the Women’s Health Obstetrics and Gynaecology has cautioned that the best place to seek help when ‘couples’ suffer Penis Captivus(sexual lock)was the hospital.
Penis captivus occurs when a male organ (penis) becomes stuck in a female’s during sexual intercourse.
She dismissed the myth surrounding it and assured that what victims needed in such circumstance was medical assistance and not anything spiritual.
She made this disclosure in an interview with The Spectator.
This, Dr Constantini explained,is caused by the tightening of the vagina muscles or contraction of the pelvic floor muscles.
“When it’s going down, the vagina expands to accommodate the penis (which increases in length and size as well). After climax, the pelvic floor muscles and the vagina relax and release the penis,” she said.
Her comments was to dismiss the fears and myths surrounding the rare occurrence which has been linked to a number of theories, especially among the locals.
Such phenomena was assumed to be a punishment sought from a supernatural power by an aggrieved personon lovers in‘illegal’ sexual relationship (adultery or fornication) to cast a spell to expose them.
It is also said that this could happen to persons in legal relationship but having intimacy in places forbidden by the society such as the forest, inside a water body or a sacred place.
There are also instances of attempted forceful separation of the ‘locked-up’ couple to avoid embarrassment but this, she said could cause pain and discomfort.
According to her, if the pelvic floor muscles contract more than they need to, or the vagina tightens more than they need to, it could hold the penis a bit more than necessary and could lead to individuals getting stuck.
Dr. Constantini stated that could happen to anyone whether married or not and anywhere at any time contrary to the belief that it only happened to persons who were not married or having sex ‘wrongly’.
“There are episodes between married people that do not get discussed in public just because they don’t speak about it. People do get stuck but it’s not a common, thing,” she clarified.
Shedisclosed that most couples got stuck for about 10 seconds after which they were able to separate from each other and the stucked penis usually does not hurt.
“They are rare cases, however, where people have been stuck for longer, the fear of getting caught, especially if the partners find what they were doing wrong could lead to this speculation as a spiritual problem,” she explained.
“Relaxing or thinking about something other than what is actually happening can help with separation. Trying to forcefully separate does not help. It will cause pain and discomfort,” she cautioned.
She said there may, however, be cases where a visit to the hospital might be necessary and once the female partner was given medication, separation would occur.

The Minority in Parliament has strongly objected to any planned merger or partnership between the government and Telecel, describing the deal as “technically, operationally, and financially unconscionable.”
Ranking Member on the Communications Committee, Matthew Nyindam, raised the concern during a media briefing in Parliament.
He questioned why both the Minister of Communications and Telecel would publicly announce a merger and then suddenly go silent on the matter.
“We object to any deal with Telecel by way of merger, absorption, or acquisition. This is a scheme to dispose of a national asset to fill private pockets,” Mr. Nyindam stated.
He argued that Telecel has not demonstrated any special technical or operational expertise that staff and management of AT (formerly AirtelTigo) do not already possess.
According to him, Telecel had earlier promised to invest $500 million after acquiring Vodafone Ghana but failed to do so, a situation he fears could repeat itself if the government allows another deal.
Mr. Nyindam claimed that Telecel was already indebted to the tune of $400 million, adding that the company only seeks to benefit from AT’s over three million customers to expand its own base without making any real investment.
“The government must not surrender the capacity of a state-owned company to a private entity through majority ownership. There is no clear plan to protect the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of workers,” he stressed.
The Minority Caucus is therefore calling on the government to halt any discussions or agreements with Telecel regarding the proposed merger, insisting that the deal is not in the national interest.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) has suspended all fines issued by its Compliance Team on the country’s roads, effective Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Authority explained that the suspension follows feedback from the public and further consultations with stakeholders.
The Compliance Team’s enforcement exercise, which had been intensified in recent weeks, was aimed at ensuring that drivers and vehicles met all legal requirements before operating on the road.
However, the DVLA said it was pausing the activity to allow for more engagement and public education on the exercise before it is reintroduced.
While assuring the public of its commitment to promoting safety and compliance, the Authority emphasized that the suspension only affects the fines and charges being enforced by the Compliance Team.
It added that all legal requirements for drivers and vehicles to operate on Ghana’s roads remain in force.
