Necrophilia for Good Night

There is an urban myth circulating in Norway, serving as a nice “horror” bed time story.

Vaginal myiasis is in fact confirmed by the scientific community, although there are rare cases of it. (PhotoXpress)

Vaginal myiasis as result of necrophilia?

The story has a number of variations and it goes something like this. A woman, girl, meets an attractive man. Single and horny, she gets involved with him and it they end up having sexual intercourse. After a few days the heroine falls ill, so she visits a doctor. He makes a serious face and the following diagnosis – vaginal infection with worms which attack decaying corpses. Later the girl finds out that she had slept with a pathologist from the local hospital, who obviously has sexual intercourse with his "clients".

Vaginal myiasis is in fact confirmed by the scientific community, although there are rare cases of it. In a study on this disease (published in the Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology magazine), there is the case of a pregnant 19-year old girl who was diagnosed with vaginal myiasis, syphilis, genital candidiasis and Trichomonas vaginalis – vaginitis, not to mention the HIV virus. The possibility of flies eggs surviving in the penis of a man who had sexual intercourse with an infected corpse, until another sexual intercourse, is slim. The source of infection could probably be found elsewhere too, but I will not further develop this theory due to good taste.

The story, true or fabricated, serves primarily as a warning to girls against having unprotected sexual relations with strange men. Sex can infect you with death; this is probably the most frightening thing to beat into the head of a young girl. Therefore, girls, hairy arms of a man are not always a guarantee for a good catch, and the good doctor may give you a rare infection as well.
