Father-Of-Two Becomes ‘Convinced He’s Pregnant After Having Gay Sex’

We’ve all come out with stupid things, or believed very wrong things. I once worked with a girl who didn’t know tuna was a fish. These things happen.

I think we all feel a little more intelligent when we hear that someone, somewhere genuinely believed he was pregnant after having gay sex. Despite, you know, not having any ovaries, eggs, or a vagina.

It has been revealed that the unemployed 52-year-old father of two from Kozhikode, in India, was hospitalised by a psychiatrist after he insisted he had been impregnated.

According to theTimes of India,he told physicians that he was suffering stomach pains and believe he could feel the baby moving inside.

The patient, who has a post-graduate degree, admitted to doctors that his belief followed a homosexual encounter.

Dr PN Suresh Kumar was the head of a team of doctors at KMCT Educational Institution and says this is the first case of its kind he has seen.

He said:

“He was an active homosexual in his adolescent years which may contributed to his beliefs. But, his homosexuality did not affect his marriage

Usually, we see couvade syndrome [otherwise known as sympathetic pregnancy] in some dads-to-be who show certain symptoms of pregnancy (like nausea, weight gain or sleep problems) when their partners get pregnant.

The patient went for counselling and took risperidone. This delusion was cured due to the medical intervention. After a series of counselling sessions, he stopped indulging in homosexual activities.

Now, the patient is recovering and we are measuring his progress during periodic check-ups.”

Crikey. Now that is what you call an embarrassing mistake…
