Yes... your penis can be broken. How to avoid such a horrible fate!

First off.... I must tell you about one of my favorite shows.  If you have not yet watched "Sex Sent Me to the ER" on TLC, set your DVR NOW.  The show is flat out hilarious.  Think people doing stupid things while having sex that injures them so badly that they have to go to the ER and sheepishly explain to the ER doc what happened.  As you would expect, most of them lie at first and end up having to tell the truth to get truely "cured."  And in the tradition of TLC medical-based shows such as "I didn't know I was Pregnant (also a goodie!)," "Untold Stories of the ER," and "Trama: Life in the ER" the show includes really cheesy re-enactments that often include actors for every position except the doctor (randomly!!!)  Apparently all the doctors (which are often the same doctors across all of the shows) want to moonlight as actors.

OK, now back to the REAL reason of this writing.  But... I must say that I went off on that tangent because the first time I saw this injury was on "Sex Sent me to the ER".... So....  

Guys, I know you aren't going to like this... but apparently you can break your penis.  Yes, you read that right... YOU... CAN... BREAK... YOUR... DICK.  

How can this possibly happen?  Turns out that the woman is on top sex position is the position that is most likely to end with you breaking your dick. 

Some Brazilian researches looked at 44 cases that involved a "penile fracture" (note: medically

correct term) and in 50% of these cases, the "penile fracture" occurred when the woman was on top, riding your dick.  Second most dangerous, doggy-style which accounted for 29% of the broken dicks.  And lastly missionary caused 21% of the cases.  In all cases, men report hearing a loud cracking followed by a shit-ton of pain.  And the average age for the broken junk - 34!

So guys.... what does this mean?  Have sex at your own risk... And yes, even the thought of this makes me ill too.
