Texas man fractures penis after taking sex pill

and of course he is suing.

My apologies to all the men here, who I am sure will be traumatized by this story.

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/texas-man-fractures-penis-taking-sex-supplement/story?id=17106956

A 29-year-old man has sued the manufacturers of a sexual enhancement supplement, claiming it caused his penis to fracture in a horrifying incident at Houston motel last year.

But though Adrian Carter of Texas blames the supplement, three urologists told ABCNews.com com that penile fractures are most often the result of rough sex.

Emergency room doctors had to "deglove" Carter's penis in order to repair it, rendering him unable to have sex or future children, Carter claimed.


Holy shit!!!!

but even so, I have no desire to see an image. I was grossed out by the description in the article, and I believe that it was very tame.

Now, the question on everyone's mind: Why would you google it????

Degloving would never have been done in an emergency room, but by a skilled surgeon, he said. If the urinary channel is also affected by the fracture, the injury can be bloody, but "blood squirting out helter skelter" is not possible, "I can guarantee you," he said.

"When a man breaks his penis it can be very scary," said Carney. "I believe he took this story and spiced it up."

Carney said that he has heard "everything under the sun" when men arrive in the emergency room with a fractured penis. "The most common one told is they walked into an ironing board.".....Urologist Ritenour agreed.

"You never know if you are getting the real story," he said. "People are embarrassed. The real point of this story is that this is a medical emergency and you really need to come and be seen so it can be handled surgically and fixed."

Since the article gave me enough information to know that I did not want to know more. And I'm female! I can't imagine how a man would feel about it!

Gotta love google! I am no longer ignorant. Just yesterday, I learned what fromunda cheese was. LOL
