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."
Her claims are unusual even for a country where acupuncture and traditional medicine are still common remedies, but Hong's determination to have the case reopened -- even threatening to light herself on fire -- led to prosecutors re-examining the case. The convictions eventually were suspended due to flaws by initial investigators.

I don't recall ever having them, before or after.
Not even logical. Idiocy.
The only time I will ever see a red dot on my ear is about 30 seconds after the black helicopters land in my yard.
What's he trying to say? That he has red dots at age 54? If so, it should be his many years of inexperience.
This is silly — how does the back of the ear *know* that, well, to put it delicately, it’s been inside a woman and not inside the palm?
How many times can one master one’s own domain before the red dots disappear?
If you can’t see the red dots, are they really there?
Actually it makes sense if they're talking about having aural sex, which could also lead to the spread of hearing AIDS.
It looks like this individual’s crackpot theory is what drove her to fight for a reexamination of the case - but it also looks like those attorneys who reopened the case and set these men free did so on the grounds of procedural flaws in the conviction, not on imaginary magical folk “medicine.”
She's been red dot free since around 1968.....maybe sooner.
So that’s what the old expression, “stick it in your ear,” was about.
LOL, from now on, every rapist will make sure they have a red dot tattooed behind their ear.
Now THAT would make good TV.
Line up a bunch of children (known virgins) and look for red spots on the ears
Most.Frustrated.Planet.Ever.
After they finish having sex inspect the men's ears to see if the small red dot really disappears.
If the red dot does not go away then you have to see if the women weighs more than a duck. If she does weigh more than a duck then she's a witch and therefore the men are virgins.
I don't know about the duck though.
Ha!! This is nothing!! I freed 17 mass murderers by finding Mary’s image in a box of nails I bought at the hardware store!!!
(Criminy, some people will believe ANYTHING!!!)
“Actually it makes sense if they’re talking about having aural sex, which could also lead to the spread of hearing AIDS.”
that was funny....very impressive:)
There'll be no shortage of male "volunteers" to prove their virginity . . . . or the lack thereof. But, after awhile, isn't this going to take on the appearance of a house of prostitution??
(I'm just askin')
Off to the store for some red nail polish.
