Mum made my brother sleep in my bed for a night (while I slept in his) when I had mumps. I caught it from my sister, but my brother held out longest. I'm not sure if the bed thing worked - probably more being in our vicinity - but he caught it and Mum was relieved, saying it was important for boys to get mumps. She was vague as to why, leading me to believe that men got mumps on their willy. Not a million miles from the truth.
