Couples: how to avoid captive penis syndrome?

Accidents in bed can be numerous and some incidents can be very strange. As much to say it, surprises during sex can surprise many and captive penis syndrome is one of them. But what is it exactly? Simply put, this is the situation where the penis gets stuck in the vagina during the sexual act. Myth or reality ? This problem is seen very often in animals, but rarely in humans. So, it is indeed a reality! Grace reports the explanations given by gynecologist Nasrine Callet regarding this incident.

“Captive penis syndrome or penis captivus is caused by a involuntary contraction of the vagina, which keeps a foreign body inside, in this case the penis. But the wall of the vagina is very muscular, and the contraction can be significant”, explains Nasrine Callet. It is therefore a comical situation which is totally different from vaginismus. The difference being that the contraction occurs during penetration and not before. “When the erection ends, the penis comes out. And it’s a little unpleasant.”, adds the gynecologist.

What if this ever happened?

The fact that this captive penis syndrome is very rare does not help find a solution. After all, medicine does not recognize it as a disease and no serious study has yet been conducted in this direction. Nasrine Callet explains that the main cause of the syndrome would be psychological. The solution therefore also lies at the psychological level. The whole thing is to put your partner comfortable, confident, so that the muscles of the vagina relax on their own. Some people also offer a digital rectal examination in such cases in order to relax the muscles of the perineum.
