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 Paramount Chief of Bamvum, Abdulai Ziblim, has donated a one-acre plot of land at Jongshegu, a suburb of Tamale, to the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) for the construction of a new fire station.
The Northern Regional Commander of the GNFS, ACFO I Joseph Koranteng, led a delegation to formally accept the land and expressed appreciation to the Chief for his commitment to public safety.
The proposed fire station is expected to improve emergency response times and strengthen fire safety coverage as Jongshegu and surrounding communities continue to expand rapidly.
The Chief called on stakeholders to support the swift development of the facility, while ACFO I Koranteng described the donation as a strong example of collaboration between traditional authorities and state institutions to protect lives and property.

A 24-year-old tricycle (Pragyia) rider, has been jailed three months by the Nkawie Circuit Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality of the Ashanti Region for biting a Community Police Assistant (CPA) at Nkawie.
Abdul Aziz pleaded guilty to the charge of negligently causing harm and was convicted on his own plea.
Police Inspector Kwaku Frimpong, prosecuting told the court presided by Mr Robert Addo that, complainants in the case were officers from the Nkawie Divisional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service.
He said on September 3, at about 8:40am, the complainants led by Chief Inspector Abedi Larbi, were on their official patrol duty to ensure safety at Nkawie township and met the convict, who was in-charge of a Pragya tricycle with registration number M-25-A-3722.
He explained that, after a careful inspection, it was detected that the convict was without licence and other required documents, so Alhassan Seidu, the CPA, was instructed to lead him to the office for the next action.
On their way to the office, the convict took a different direction, so the CPA directed him to take the right route to the police station, but he disobeyed and attacked the CPA, resulting in a struggle between them.
In the process the convict bit the CPA on the chest, so he shouted for help and some nearby youth rushed to the scene and helped him to arrest the convict.
In his caution statement, he admitted the offence and after further investigations he was charged and brought before the court. –GNA
