Mind-Blowing Sex Can Cause Amnesia!

Condition Causes People to Forget Sex

It turns out that great sex can do more than make the earth move… it can actually give you amnesia! “Transient global amnesia” only effects about 1 in 20,000 people a year, but when it hits, it makes its presence (un)known—and the person it effects stays conscious during the sexual experience, but just can’t remember it afterward. Now wouldn’t that make for a good excuse for bad behavior…

The Huffington Post Reports:

A 54-year-old woman must have had the best sex ever.

In fact, doctors at George Washington University hospital believe it resulted in short-term global amnesia. LiveScience states that the case, reported in the September issue of the Journal of Emergency Medicine, actually isn’t unheard of, though global amnesia is incredibly rare.

However, it seems scientists don’t know if sex truly is at the root of the condition, but it may be an uncomfortable position that is really causing all the fuss.

Her memory got hazy, she said, just after sex with her husband. Researchers know very little about transient global amnesia and they can only guess at its causes, one of which they suspect is sex. Their best guess is that the amnesia is triggered by Valsalva maneuver, which causes oxygen-poor blood to gather in the neck.

Thankfully, the condition only affects 3 to 5 people per 100,000 each year, according to LiveScience. The scary thing, however, is that scientists have no idea how people seem to remain awake and active while large chunks of memory go missing.

Have you ever had amnesia (or wish you had amnesia)?
