Blind Item: When Too Much Control Could Spell Trouble

Finally! I have the answer to a tabloid blind item about an incident that is outright embarrassing and potentially fatal for the cast of characters - not to mention one for the books, if actually true.

The blind item was about a celebrity couple who were rushed to a Manila hospital with blankets hiding their identities because the man's penis was still stuck in the girl's lady parts and can't get out.

There's a medical term for it - penis captivus - a relatively rare medical condition in which a woman's vaginal muscles uncontrollably spasm during intercourse, trapping her partner's penis inside her vagina.

Per the tabloid, the female half of the couple apparently overdid her muscle control thingy. The other claim was that the male half took viagra - too ambitious, perhaps, or overcompensating, I don't know.

The tabloid version is too general, bordering on vague, on the identities of the unlucky couple. The male is a good dramatic actor and the female is a young actress.

The radio version gave an initial, JL for the male, and kapatid ng aktres sa Agua Bendita, for the female.

While this blind item is juicy and is one for the ages, saner, more rational minds must prevail.

Google is a wealth of information. Penis captivus is a very rare medical condition. There are case studies reported in reputed medical journals. In actuality, however, its origin started as an elaborate hoax.

But we never know. Stranger things have happened and continue to happen in this country of ours. Also, I'm thinking there's no actual case of penis captivus documented for posterity in medical literature because no couple has ever reported it due to embarassment. Think about it. Do you want to be in the news and in Youtube for all eternity because of a case of penis captivus?

As for our celebrity couple - it may be true what happened to them or they may just the victim of a nasty rumor. Either way, they are the unlucky of the unluckiest.
