I was searching articles for my assignments through PubMed, as accidental as this case study, I came across this article titled “Accidental condom inhalation” by Arya CL, Gupta R, Arora VK (2004).

A 27-year-old lady presented with persistent cough, sputum and fever for the preceding six months. Inspite of trials with antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis treatment for the preceeding four months, her symptoms did not improve. A subsequent chest radiograph showed non-homogeneous collapse-consolidation of right upper lobe. Videobronchoscopy revealed an inverted bag like structure in right upper lobe bronchus and rigid bronchoscopic removal with biopsy forceps confirmed the presence of a condom. Detailed retrospective history also confirmed accidental inhalation of the condom during fellatio.

She is a school teacher and it all happened while performing oral sex (Do you remember the Tongkat Ali Molecular Condom? It must be bitter). Arya et al. (2004) wrote this in the article, “It is, much desirable that sex taboos prevalent on the sub-continent are curbed and greater sexual awareness created in the people’s minds.”

However, inhalation of foreign objects not only happen while performing blowjob, such accident can also easily happen to babies. Babies love to bite things, it’s their inquisitive nature. I used to be a baby before, like other babies, I just put whatever things I can into my mouth. Don’t ask me what was the worst thing, babies have bad memories when they grow up.
