Although this may sound like a far-fetched tale, doctors have confirmed that a man really can get stuck inside a woman during sex. The medical term for this interlocking is 'penis capitus'.

Dr. Yvonne Fulbright said the sticky situation is caused by vaginal spasm.
Although there are few reported cases of humans becoming physically attached during sex, it's quite common for dogs to become inseparably locked.
“While largely hearsay, and chalked up mostly as mythical, an article published in a 1979 issue of the British Medical Journal claims that penis captivus has occurred very rarely to humans throughout history," Dr Fulbright told MTV News.
“Should you ever find this actually happening, then both you and your lover need to relax and take the focus off of intercourse and anything sexy. This allows blood to leave the penis, so that he can withdraw more easily. And her pelvic floor muscles will also relax, as not to clench the shaft.”
Speaking to i100, a representative from Brook said: "From what we gather it is exceptionally rare, but it can happen (but not necessarily because of water or ‘suction’ though), and is something that occurs more frequently in animals than humans.
"Research suggests that, for most couples, if this happened it would last a matter of seconds, so it would be incredibly rare for a couple to require medical help.”
Ironically, some of the best sex secrets are those men and women keep from each other, Dr. Joannides says. To have good sex, you need to talk about your likes and dislikes."One of the most important things to do is to ask and to listen," says Joannides. "A lot of guys are terrified that some people may think they don't know all the answers. Also, some guys think they do know all the answers."It can be difficult to broach the subject of sex. But here are tips from Joannides that can clue you in to what your partner enjoys: (credit:Shutterstock)
Don't Make Things Uncomfortable (02 of08)

Don't ask about what she or he doesn't like or what doesn't feel good. That puts a negative spin on it. Instead, ask her or him what feels best. (credit:Shutterstock)
Switch Roles(03 of08)

For example, let her show you what she likes rather than tell you. "A really good thing to do is to say, 'Let's switch places here. I'd like you to kiss my chest just the way you'd like me to kiss yours,'" Joannides says. "Sit back and learn.”Communication is a two-way street. Remember to let your partner know your likes and dislikes as well, including what gives you pleasure for maintaining an erection and having an orgasm. (credit:Shutterstock)
Use Study Aides (04 of08)

"Try to get a book or two or three or four that you think your partner might enjoy," Joannides says. "Look through it with her and see what she's interested in. Sometimes it's easier that way because someone might not be comfortable telling you what they want to do, but they may see a photo and say, 'Hey, that looks interesting.'" (credit:Shutterstock)

Remember that your brain is the most important sex organ in your body. Keep things fun and playful by talking over your fantasies with your partner. And don't feel like you should rid your mind of fantasies during sex — experts consider these fantasies an important way to kindle the desire that leads to erection and orgasm. (credit:Shutterstock)
Get Creative (06 of08)

Try having sex in different places and at different times. Be playful and try out different positions. "Don't just do the same thing every night, every time," says Joannides. "It's easy to get into a rut and be really predictable. Sometimes with certain things predictability is good, and other times it isn't. It's a wise man who learns which is which."

Keep Porn Online (07 of08)

"Sometimes guys feel that what a woman wants is for them to be porn stars," Joannides notes. "That's probably one of the worst models for lovemaking you could ever have. It's trying to live your life like you were a character on Star Trek. It's a nice fantasy to watch. It wouldn't work if you tried to act it out in real life." (credit:Shutterstock)
