An American woman, 59, known only as Alice, suffered a sudden attack of amnesia after enjoying a steamy romp with her husband.
Called “transient global amnesia” or TGA, the sudden loss of memory is caused by pressure in blood vessels in the brain, and can be triggered by strenuous activities, bowel movements, or – commonly – sex.
Alice had the worrying experience last August after she and her husband Scott made love. She suddenly lost all memory of the last several years and the ability to form new memories, reports The Telegraph.
Post the steamy session, the couple turned on the television, which was showing the Beijing Olympics, and she asked: "Is there an Olympics?
Scott told CNN: "I saw that something was wrong, so I asked her, ''OK, what day is it?''"
When she couldn’t answer, he asked her to name the current President, to which she replied: "Bill Clinton."
Seeing her condition, the husband called an ambulance and she was taken to hospital, where it was initially thought she may have had a stroke.
However, neurologists were soon able to diagnose TGA, a relatively common experience in the over-50s.
Dr Louis Caplan, professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, said: "[Sex] is actually a well-known precipitator. One of the things people have done to look at transient global amnesia is to look at frequency of various precipitants and sex always comes out as one of the most common."

To me it looks like the woman learnt this from her freinds to pretend , lost memory is a good excuse after every new partner. Untill now the 92 woman i had sex in 20 yrs from 16 countries . I always say to my next partner that i dont remember my last sex , may be it was years back,and the new partner also does notwant to know bcoz it may be one night stand. Almost all woman i met in japan say that they dont remember thier past sex. Its very gentle way to try sex with another partner. And many are so busy that they dont know the presidents and prime ministers changing so fast. jai ho .

Diffenetly will happen like this. Why? Both sex are not following the principle of sex. If one follows the Vatshayana Khamasutra diffenetly these thing would not have happen. Why forefathers insisted all regulations etc. Sex is an art of yoga that both sex have to adhere certain things as per Vatsayana Khamasutra. Now a days people in both sex are mad of sex not looking any principles. They do it anytime. That is bad for [both sex] health as well as producing unwated population increse that too handicapped etc. Even annimals will not do this what man and woman do.Human life is supreme. Actually it is a gift given by god. Human beings and universal atmoshphere all are connected. That is PANCHA BHUDHA GANA. Ever man has got power with their brain and body. When I heared a lecture of Late Dr. B.Ramamurthy Brain Specialist in 1987 [The doctor is authority in brain surgery etc.]use to say both man and woman have to use their front brain. Using front brain is not easy. That is to be practiced through Yoga Pranayanam etc. etc. [ Concentration i.e. centralize or bring close together at one spot. or direct all attention or energy on one spot] One should not think we have to go as sanysi or living the family to do yoga and pranayanam etc. Every sex can do it to keep their health well being. This is myself telling the people. I do not know how many people will agree with me.

Alice did not loose her memory.....she just thought she had sex with Bill Clinton and not her husband. Lucky Bill that this happened in 2009 or we would have another investigation and a scandal because everyone would say it had to be Bill. Why did we not send Monica to the hospital. Maybe she ruptured a vessel and opened her eyes when Bill entered the room!
