Article from Newsweek

-- This is a newsweek article this week. READ this and you would play really really safe. Man it sends jitters in the spine :-).


NEWSWEEK's Rebecca Shabad spoke to Dr. Larry Lipschultz, professor of urology at the Baylor College of Medicine, about what it takes to cause a broken penis, how painful it can be, and the dangerous consequences if untreated. (Dr. Lipschultz was not aware of the daggering phenomenon or of the alleged problems with which it is associated). Some excerpts are below:

What exactly constitutes a broken penis?
A broken penis, also known as a fractured penis, is due to a tear in the tunica albuginea, which is the covering of the erectile tissue of the penis.

What does it actually take to break one?
A sudden bending of the penis when it’s in the erect state. We see it in men who are having intercourse and then just are thrusting. They miss the vagina and then they hit the [pubic] bone and their penis bends in half quickly and it fractures. They get a sudden, sharp pain and it gets black and blue. If you operate on them, you see a tear in the tunic covering the erectile tissue.

So it can only happen during intercourse?
No. If you have an erection and it’s thrust up against something that’s not going to accommodate it, or [will cause it to] bend—a sharp bend will cause a fracture or breaking of the erectile tissue covering.

Do you know if using drugs like Viagra are making men more prone to the injury?
No, it doesn’t make them more prone. Anything that can enable someone to have an erection would make them more prone, because then they would be able to experience this problem. I think basically these people in Jamaica are having an increased frequency [of injury] because they’re having these erections but they’re not penetrating.

How often have you come across that problem?
We usually see the sequelae of it, rather than the actual event. A lot of times men won’t come in when [the inital break] happens. But what happens is they form a scar, and the scar causes the penis to bend or to develop Peyronie’s disease [a connective tissue disorder which can cause unnatural curveature of the penis]. People believe now that Peyronie’s disease is most commonly due to trauma to the penis.

Is a broken penis preventable?
It’s a low incident in general. I think it’s preventable if men are more careful during intercourse—but I mean, in the heat of the moment, it happens.

You described the type of pain that they would experience. What would you equate that pain to?
I’d say on a scale of 1 to 10, it would be an 8.

Wow, that’s pretty harsh.
Yeah, it’s really painful.The quicker the person gets to the emergency room and gets treated, the more likely he’s not going to develop a permanent deformity.

Ever before asked yourself exactly how those contestants in bodybuilding competitors
make their physiques look so determined? In the beginning you could believe it's because they normally look this way or perhaps since of how show business lights struck them however believe it or not, body builders utilize sunless tanning or tanning lotions in order to attain that "hard as granite" appearance, to show off sharply-defined shoulders, arms and abdominals that the courts and audience admire a lot.
