The Bad Date
Øystein Skundberg
Boy breaks up with girl, who in her despair picks up a man at a bar,
comes home with him, and has casual, unprotected sex. After some days,
she experiences bad itch in her crotch. The girl goes to a medical
doctor, which upon examining her looks very serious and concerned, says
nothing, but gives her an appointment with a specialist. Girl off to
specialist. He/she examines the girl, turns very grave, makes some
notes, and tells her that she will have the results of the test in a
week.
The bewildered girl goes home. The next week, the police turns up on her
doorstep to question her. When she ask why, they explain that the police
is routinely contacted by doctors in every case of corpse-worm[1].
It turns out that the man she slept with, worked at a large hospital,
and had engaged in necrophiliac activities, as he had access to dead
bodies. Since the girl had been in his house, the police were able to
track him down.
Creepy. It has all the ingredients; sex, death, revulsion, the three
visits..and a moral.[2]
[1] Or whatever. (This term calls for a language mechanic. Cindy K., how
would you translate "lik-orm" ?)
[2] Which is: Always ask him what his last date said when they parted.

Cool story/variant. Question from a non-Norwegian-speaker: Is "lik-orm" a
standard term, or was it created for this story the way that you invented
"corpse-worm"? Is the idea that it's a maggot? (That would be yet another
connection to a different infestation UL.)

Well, "lik-orm" is the word I heard used in this story, and I doubt that
it is a Pathological Term.
And it translates directly (but clumsily) into corpse-worm,
carcass-maggot, or something equally digusting. I tried to do a Yahoo
search on this, but couldn't find anything. So whether it's
pathologically possible to get some sort of parasitic maggot from dead
bodies, and transfer these sexually without immediately noticing
(Urrkk)...I don't know. (Would be interesting to get it debunked,
though.)

Good grief, wouldn't you prefer some nether regions that AREN'T
infected?
Shudder.

I don't know that this is relevant, as there are certainly a number of
saprophytic maggots in existence. I do know that there are flesh-eating
maggots that are used for medical purposes. They will eat the dead flesh of a
wound, but will not disrupt living skin. (generally, organisms which feed on
dead material don't feed on living material as well) They are used in some
rather specific circumstances (burns, for example, when gangrenous tissue needs
to be removed, if I recall correctly).
Their saprophytic lifestyle would seem to indicate that these maggots would not
survive in the flesh of a living person for any length of time. We could, of
course, discuss the potential food supply in a woman's nether regions, but I'm
not sure we want to go there.

I was referring to regular old nether regions. The discussion evolved from
someone else posing a question regarding maggot-infested nether regions. I
assure you, I would prefer any which I peruse to be uninfected.
