Apart from the puerile appeal of the headline, I am not sure what to make of his alleged medical condition.
A Somerset doctor who denies putting his semen into a cup of coffee he made for a woman acquaintance believes it was done as a practical joke by somebody else at his expense, a jury heard yesterday.
Dr Chapman told Gloucester Crown Court he had suffered from a condition since he was 16 that meant he involuntarily 'discharged' from his penis while defecating.
Of how the substance got into the cup of coffee, he added: 'When I tried to put the information together the only scenario that seems to me to make sense is that it was a practical joke played by someone, and it wasn't me, which has gone wrong.'
Dr Chapman, of Taunton, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of trying to engage a woman in sexual activity without her consent between September 12, 2020, and September 12, 2021.
He said: 'It started in the early 1980s when I went to the toilet and it was something my mother noticed.
'I was able to keep this condition a secret from everybody.'
He told the court the reason for having semen in the pots was to test it and that he had been collecting them since 2013 when he was told he had left smear marks on the toilet seat.
He added: 'The purpose of collecting substances in a tube was to avoid smears on the toilet seat and sticking on inside of a bowl.'
He told the jury he would only do this when he was pooing at work which he would do on an 'almost daily basis'.
He acknowledged there were at least ten to 12 'collections' a month and 140 collections a year that he did not put down the toilet.
Chapman also described masturbation - including at work - as 'nothing to do with pleasure - but a painful necessity'.
'I am a very private person, especially when it comes to personal issues such as this,' he told the jury from the witness box.
Significant detail on his semen and collection technique follows:
