HANOI, Vietnam -- An acupuncturist who claims she can detect a man's virginity based on a small dot on the ear has become a minor celebrity in Vietnam, where she is credited with helping to free three convicted rapists from prison.

Traditional medicine practitioner Pham Thi Hong started lobbying for the men's release, pleading their case all the way to the president, because she believes all three men are virgins and therefore could not be guilty of rape.

"They all had small red spots on the back of their ears," said Hong, 54. "The spots should have disappeared if they had had sex. My many years of experience told me that these men did not have sex before."

You learn something new every day I guess...

Well, girls, if you want to marry a virgin, look for the spots on the ears.

Wonder how much this "expert" was paid.

And if they mas...... the dot doesn't go away either???

"They all had small red spots on the back of their ears,"

Wow. Wouldn't it be freaky if she were right about the spots? Now I'm really curious. What are the odds she knows what she's talking about?

Pimples?

How many Vietnamese teenage boys are getting out mirrors to check the backs of their ears?

The odds are pretty much zero, since every male over the age of 13 Masturbates, that would pretty much take care of any red spots on the ears.

[redheadtoo]

How many young men in Vietnam are growing their hair long to hide their ears? How many are trying to paint their ears with make up? How many are trying to explain their lack of spots to their parents?

Every boy who gets held down in the locker room and has his ears examined by hecklers, will have this crazy woman to blame.

They were also serving time which would made the mark disappear

I once read an article on FR that your body knows the difference between actual intercourse and self gratification

Didn't make much sense to me, but I'm sure the millions of taxpayer money spent to study it was well worth the money / s
