Sounds like a doctor I used to know. He and his wife were swingers. The 
scuttle butt around the hospital was that he whored his good looking 
wife out for gang bangs where anonymous men would fuck her without a 
condom and after the multiple men, like 20+ or more, were done with her, 
he would clean her out with his tongue and then be the last to fuck her.

Word got around the hospital and he was fired.
It was too bad because aside from his strange hobby, he was an excellent 
doctor.

Go figure.
