By Request:

A Pill that makes it all Better:

Some people prescribed an anti-depressant drug have found an unexpected side effect: they have an orgasm when they yawn. The drug clomipramine usually elevates mood and boosts physical activity and appetite. However, the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry reports four patients on the drug had orgasms on yawning.
"There is a small subset of people who are affected this way," commented Dr. Martin Godfrey, a London GP who has prescribed the drug. "I understand they find this side effect quite pleasant."

One woman who took clomipramine told researchers it cured her depression but she wanted to go on taking it because of its peculiar properties. She found she could experience an orgasm even by deliberate yawning. And a man who had also taken the pills said he was "highly satisfied" with the drug's usefulness.

Around five per cent of clomipramine users report the side effect, though for most people the drug inhibits the ability to reach orgasm. The New Scientist says that the drug's users have been comparing notes on the Internet and speculating on its unusual consequences: people who experience it would presumably seek out the most boring person they could find at parties.


I think she was a client Once:

Every month in "The Journal of Human Sexuality," they publish a "case of the month."

One of my favorites involved a married woman who went to the gynecologist complaining of a malodorous discharge.

The doctor performed an exam, but the discharge wasn't characteristic of any of the usual maladies that sometimes plague women.

He wasn't all that alarmed, though, until the results of the pap smear came back.

The report indicated that the cells "weren't human." It didn't venture a guess as to the origin of the cells — it just indicated they weren't a type of cell that you'd see in a human being.

The doctor asked the woman to come back for a repeat exam. He put her in the stirrups, inserted his speculum into the woman's vagina, and scooped out a large piece of loose, decaying flesh.

Remarkably, it looked like a long tongue, but certainly not a human tongue.

The woman, upon questioning, finally confessed that her husband was a hunter. He had recently brought home a deer and gutted and dressed it in their garage. She saw the tongue, admired its length, and had snuck off with it to use as a masturbatory aid.

She didn't remember leaving it up there.
