A prostitute’s nightmare has become a reality when one had to be surgically removed from a client, who died while they were having sex. The video of the unnamed couple being wheeled away together is going viral online.

The short video was first shared on the Chinese website Miaopai before it was uploaded to LiveLeak.com. It shows a deceased man being wheeled out of a house on a stretcher by paramedics as neighbours look on. What is odd about the footage is there’s a woman lying on top of him, both of them covered by a blue sheet.

The exact location of the incident isn’t known, but it is reported to take place in China. It’s also unclear when it happened. The woman has been claimed to be a prostitute.

The Mirror reports that the couple most likely suffered from a phenomena called penis captivus, in which the muscles lining the vagina clamp down on the penis more firmly than usual. This makes the penis impossible to withdraw from the vagina.

PC is often erroneously referred to as vaginismus, or the condition in which muscles in a woman’s vagina involuntarily contracts and tightens, making penetration impossible or painful.

PC is said to be more common in animals than in humans, although incidents have been recorded in medical journals for more than a hundred years.

In 2009, a couple’s secret rendezvous became the talk of the town in southern Philippines when they literally got stuck together. Radio DZRH, via GMA News, reported that the lovers suffered from penis captivus during sex at a local pension house. The couple, draped in a blanket, rode a tricycle to the hospital, where doctors used a tranquilizer on the man to make his muscles contract. The couple had been stuck for more than 17 hours before they were separated. The 32-year-old man was married to another woman, and therefore explained the need for their secrecy.

In 2014, listeners of BBC’s “Health Check” radio program in the UK shared their personal experiences with PC after Dr Aristomenis Exadaktylos of Switzerland claimed that PC was just an urban myth.

“I must tell you it is no myth,” one woman wrote to the program. “It happened to my late husband and myself one night. He literally could not withdraw i.e. was ‘stuck.’ I attributed it to the intensity of the vaginal muscle response during orgasm.”
