Moments of joy and excitement are usually memorable. However, for 58-year-old Polly Fisher, the excitement was such that the pleasure became a total blank in her mind. After a 10-minute sexual intercourse, the Rotherham resident had an intense orgasm that left her with transient global amnesia, a condition that can occur during middle age after sudden strenuous activity. The Englishwoman’s picture is ultra rare.

In an interview with the Daily Star, Polly’s husband, Mick Thacker, a 61-year-old cartographer, said: “It was the scariest thing I’ve ever witnessed. I thought she was having a stroke. In the ambulance, all the plans we had made for our retirement together flashed through my head. It was all over. I thought it was all over.”

Mick explains that he had sex with the woman after coming home from the gym to find her taking a shower: “She looked amazing, as always, and one thing led to another.” He continues: “We had sex. It didn’t take long: a quickie, and nothing unusual. But I remember Polly having a really massive orgasm, much more intense than I remember her having before.”

Polly’s memory loss, however, was not instantaneous, and the couple drank coffee after about 15 minutes, at which point the Englishwoman complained that she was feeling strange: “She seemed a little vague. She sat up and began to panic. She burst into tears. She’d say, ‘I’m scared. I’m scared.’ I thought she was having a stroke.”

Polly was taken to the hospital, showing only short-term memory loss, with no other symptoms of stroke. The tests did not show anything abnormal in the woman’s health. She remembered her husband, but she didn’t remember the date, what she had done in the bath, or who the British prime minister was. Even with her husband telling her the information, she quickly forgot about it.

At first, the medical team believed that it was a transient ischemic attack, which is a short period of symptoms similar to those of a stroke. However, the hypothesis was discarded when they questioned what could be the reason for the condition.

The cartographer, red with embarrassment, claimed that the couple had just had sex. A doctor then recalled a case of transient global amnesia, in which a swimmer was exposed to icy water and that the condition could be caused by sexual intercourse.

After days of tests, Polly’s diagnosis was confirmed and the Englishwoman was discharged. According to the medical team, a new amnesia could happen, but that a recurrence has only been reported in 6% of cases and is not serious.

Polly says: “I still don’t remember what happened to me. I lost about seven hours of my life. I thought it would come back slowly, but it’s been a month and thankfully nothing has changed.”
