Initial reaction: Wow, were they doing it wrong!

But then...

However, it is likely that she enjoyed herself.

Dr Caplan said: "It usually is after climax that [TGA] develops."

Maybe they were doing it really, really right.

That was mindblowing, literally.

For decades, doctors described cases of a rare neurological condition that usually occurred in patients over age 50. Neurologists noted that patients knew their identities, but couldn't retain recent memory, where they were and how they got there. They showed no other symptoms.

Sex is one of the major triggers for the baffling medical condition called transient global amnesia in which patients lose their ability to retain immediate memory.

TGA usually occurs after the person engages in strenuous activity -- such as having sex, vigorously exercising, suddenly immersing into icy or hot water, straining to dig a stuck car or even bumping the head.
