Item x: SCPx: The Doctor in the House (the Journal)
(Note: Since no number is assigned to the SCP yet, it will simply be referred to as SCPx in this draft)
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures:
All found copies of SCPx are to be kept in the shelves of a library in Site-██, with 2 guards posted outside the door and one monitoring the room via surveillance cameras. To facilitate the process of keeping record, no copies may leave the containment room; therefore, with proper authorization, research teams of up to 4 people may conduct their research inside the library. No particular security and protective measures are required for the research personnel since SCPx itself, as an object, is not considered dangerous. Still, it is advised that the personnel wear a pair of latex gloves while handling copies of SCPx.
Any copy of the British Journal of Sexual Medicine: Volume ██ Number 2 discovered by investigation teams is to be brought directly into containment as soon as it is confirmed to be and classified as an SCPx.
Individuals who experience the SCPx phenomenon (as described below) may not be apprehended or brought in against their will, though it is strongly advised that in case of refusal they be encouraged to cooperate by receiving payment.
Description:
SCPx is a title designated to all printed copies of the British Journal of Sexual Medicine: Volume ██ Number 2 (year 20██), distributed within 2 days from its publication. Upon first examination, this volume bears no difference to other volumes of the journal in question, whether in content, appearance, or physical features. However, the anomaly manifests itself once an individual approaches the said journal with the intention of finding an answer to a particular sexological question or a solution to a particular personal issue of similar nature: upon opening the journal (if it is held vertically), a card falls down from between the pages. The individual in such cases shall henceforth be referred to as "the Patient."
The card in question resembles an ordinary white or black business card containing nothing but the word "Call" followed by a phone number, all printed in red. No other information is provided. The phone number has no country or area code; attempts to call the number, however, have yielded (in every case) the fact that it belongs to the same area where the Patient lives at the time, though it is not registered in any local phone database.
Upon calling the number (only if it is dialed by the Patient himself/herself) a person picks up and speaks with a voice that resembles a woman in her thirties. She greets the Patient, addressing him/her by his/her full name, and says the exact words: "The doctor will see you in 2 hours at your house."
In exactly 2 hours the meeting occurs, depending on the Patient's location:
- If the Patient is inside the house, the supposed doctor will be outside and knocks on the door.
- If the Patient is outside, he/she will hear the words "Come in please!" and upon entering the house he/she will find the supposed doctor sitting on a couch or chair.
The situation proceeds as follows:
The supposed doctor is a middle-aged man, with an appearance varying from case to case (though interviews with the Patients seem to suggest that the appearance of the doctor corresponds with the respective Patient's mental image of how a professional therapist would look like). He introduces himself simply as "the doctor" and proceeds by recounting the issue that the Patient has had in mind, after which he tells the Patients, in different wordings, that their problem shall be resolved as soon as he walks out the door. He then says goodbye and leaves the house. Patients reportedly pass out for several hours as soon as the doctor leaves, with many experiencing changes related to the "issue" they had after they regain consciousness.
To date, 132 Patients have either come forward with the incident or discovered and approached by a Foundation search team investigating select significant metropolitan areas in Europe and the United States where the journal is most likely to be purchased. The Patients found were offered medical examination and an interview, no force exerted. Among them 104 Patients agreed to the plan.
Following medical examination, interviews were conducted by Dr. Jonathan Kepler, an expert physician/sexologist and a lecturer at the University of ████████. The interviews were centered around whether or not the Patients had experienced changes after regaining consciousness and the nature of the changes. General results indicate that out of the 104 interviewees, 34 experienced no change at all, 26 had their issue completely resolved, and the remaining 44 had undergone either partial or defective changes or undesirable anomalous transformations.
The "issues" that had drawn the Patients toward the journal include low libido, dissatisfaction with the Patient's gender, dissatisfaction with sexual orientation, nymphomania, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, paraphilia, and various forms of sexual dysfunction.
A few of the anomalous cases and undesirable results:
- Issue: desire for change in sexual orientation; result: low libido.
- Issue: nymphomania; result: complete loss of sexual desire.
- Issue: desire for sex change; result: partial physical transformations hindering sexual contact and performance.
- Issue: erectile dysfunction; result: potential impotence and loss of bladder control.
- Issue: low libido; result: rare, crippling forms of paraphilia such as ████ ██████ and ████████philia.
An experiment aiming at better understanding of the nature of the phenomenon had volunteers with intense sexual defects use SCPx under Foundation observation; some notable results include:
- Opening the journal while held in a horizontal or low-angle position does not produce a card and has no effect otherwise.
- Any attempts to observe the appearance of the doctor at the Patient's house, the meeting process, or any part of the whole phenomenon through cameras or any other surveillance system prevent the incident from taking place: the doctor does not appear, nor does the Patient experience a loss of consciousness or any physical/mental change whatsoever.
- Non-printed forms of the volume in question or printed ones distributed after at least 3 days of its publication do not manifest any anomalies similar to the ones discussed above (or any other anomalies for that matter).
- Destroying or damaging an SCPx copy by means of tearing or burning has not produced any negative effects or anomalies.
- SCPx will not produce a card or manifest any anomalies if it is approached with non-sexual issues in mind.
- Several reports suggest that an article titled The Perfect Answer by a Dr. Maurice J. ████████ was expected to be published in the volume in question but was turned down 2 days prior to its publication. The author apparently went into cardiac arrest the same day and was pronounced dead on arrival by the hospital staff. However, no evidence has been found connecting this unfortunate incident to the anomalous attributes of SCPx.
Discovery:
On the day following the publication and printed distribution of the British Journal of Sexual Medicine: Volume ██ Number 2 (year 20██), a man rushed to the Southampton General Hospital claiming to have lost his [REDACTED] in a terrifying accident. Within an hour, two similar cases involving inexplicable physical transformations were reported in the Massachusetts General Hospital and The London Clinic in Westminster. As soon as the patients were interviewed and all cases were connected to "the mysterious doctor", the incidents were regarded as "anomalous" by doctors, following which the Foundation was alerted, immediately classifying the case as an SCP phenomenon. Further investigations ultimately led to the conclusion that the journal was responsible for the incidents. Thus all copies matching the criteria of the anomaly were gathered and transferred to Site-██ for containment.
