ABSTRACT
This was the story of a woman who did indeed faint when she heard the word ‘sex’ and of a man who, having found out about what the paper called ‘her bizarre condition’, exploited it to molest her while she was unconscious. The case came to court but with the difficulty that every time the defence lawyer used the word ‘sex’ the woman fainted again. When another word was used-‘nookie’—the woman did not faint.
