Sex blew OAP’s mind as he suffered amnesia within 10 minutes of romp with wife
Mind-blowing sex left a man with amnesia as within 10 minutes of intercourse he could not remember how he got there.
According to The Irish Medical Journal, a 66-year-old man in Ireland was taken to hospital after being hit by a rare case of Transient Global Amnesia.
The unnamed patient explained he had lost all recollection of the previous 24 hours and became distressed that he had forgotten his wedding anniversary after checking the date.
His lapse in memory came within 10 minutes of having sex with his wife which had also happened to him under the same intimate circumstances seven years ago.
The Department of Neurology at University Hospital Limerick said that the case demonstrates that sex could lead to memory loss.
The report called “Recurrent Postcoital Transient Amnesia Associated with Diffusion Restriction” stated how he lost his recent memory of the last two days.
It said: "On the afternoon of presentation, he had engaged in sexual 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."

This memory loss followed a similar experience by the same man seven years before when he went to the hospital and according to doctors that episode also happened within 10 minutes of having sexual intercourse.
The scientists have said in their report that the earlier amnesia event came “with an identical postcoital onset”.

Transient Global Amnesia has been linked in the past to having migraines or physical exercise. Similarly it could be brought on by hot or cold water, emotional stress, pain and sexual intercourse.
It usually takes place with people who are aged between 50 and 70 years, and generally they are isolated incidents that do not happen with any frequency.
But at the same time there is an annual recurrence rate of between 6% and 10% of Transient Global Amnesia, according to the study.
