66-year-old Man Suffers Memory Loss Caused By Afternoon S3x With His Wife

A 66-year-old man suffered from memory loss after an afternoon s3x with his wife, according to a new paper by medics.

The report released in the May edition of the Irish Medical Journal, detailed how the 66-year-old man experienced Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) within 10 minutes of s3xual intercourse, Mail Online reports.

Medics at the Department of Neurology at University Hospital Limerick said that the case showed that s3x could trigger TGA.

The document, called ‘Recurrent Postcoital Transient Amnesia Associated with Diffusion Restriction’, described how he went to A&E and a similar incident occurred seven years prior involving the same man.

It stated that: ‘On the afternoon of presentation, he had engaged in s3xual intercourse 10 minutes before the onset of memory disturbance.

‘After seeing the date on his phone, he became distressed that he had forgotten his wedding anniversary the day before.

‘He had, in fact, celebrated his wedding anniversary with his wife and family on the previous day.

‘His autobiographical memory remained intact, but he had no memory of that morning or the celebrations the night before.’

The paper continued: ‘The man repetitively questioned his wife and daughter over the events of that morning and the previous day.

‘No other neurological symptoms were reported and upon arrival to the emergency department his neurological examination was completely normal.’

TGA’s cause is unknown, however, there is a link between sudden memory loss and a history of migraines. Overfilling of the veins due to a blood blockage or another abnormality with blood flow may also be to blame.

In rare cases, TGA has been reported to be triggered by sudden immersion in cold or hot water, strenuous exercise, and s3x.

TGA is more common in people over 50.
