Erectile Dysfunction




     I was reading again, and you know the damage that does.
I was initially indulging myself in the story of the woman from New Jersey who is having 100 or more orgasms a day. (I am sure my brother must be trying to contact her). Then this caught my eye. BMW motorcycles made in 1993 with a Corbin aftermarket seat may be the cause of priapism,, or a permanent erection. After a four-hour ride on his motorcycle, one BMW owner realized that he had a problem. Namely, a problem with his erect penis, which after some waiting would not subside. Now while most of us would cheekily reply that such a state is the sign of a good motorcycle ride, this San Francisco Bay Area native is not laughing, and has filed suit in the Superior Court of San Francisco County against BMW Motorrad North American and Corbin-Pacific. Saying that the motorcycle and its dealer-installed custom motorcycle seat have caused priapism. The man is suing for lost wages, personal injury, medical expenses, product liability, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.Hard to believe, no? I smelled fecal matter here and I didn't even know what priapism was until I read the article.

      I got to thinking about priapism. It would be a boon to those with erectile dysfunction as well as a nightmare for those in a bathing suit on a public beach so  I read up on it.
     Priapism is an erection that lasts far longer than normal—often for four hours or more. It may start as a regular erection when you’re sexually aroused. Or, it can pop up without any stimulation. The erection can last for several hours, and can be very painful. If priapism isn’t treated, it can cause erectile dysfunction and scarring. Priapism is most common in men ages 5 to 10 and 20 to 50.There are two kinds of priapism. Low-flow (ischemic) priapism is when blood becomes trapped inside the penis and can’t flow back out. The trapped blood can be painful or if left like that can literally putrefy and cause damage to the organ.                High-flow (nonischemic) priapism occurs when too much blood flows into the penis. It is usually not painful.Diseases that affect blood flow, such as sickle cell anemia and leukemia, can cause priapism. Additionally, some drugs have priapism as a potential side effect. These include erectile dysfunction drugs like tadalafil (Cialis) and sildenafil (Viagra), antidepressants, and blood thinners. Excess alcohol use, as well as illegal drugs like marijuana and cocaine, can also have this effect. Injuries that damage arteries can cause priapism as well.   
     I also read that medical evidence has shown that prolonged use of overly hard bicycle seats, like those Corbin sells, can cause numbness or even erectile dysfunction due to damage to the pudendal nerve. It seems the plaintiff in this case was just trying to "stiff" BMW for his rigidity stemming from a previous medical condition. This gives another perspective to the image of those hard riding inflexible bikers who are really soft at heart.
     I knew of a wealthy older gentleman, who did quite well for himself financially. He was always a bachelor. At the age of 78 or so he fell head over heels for this young morena. It became a symbiotic relationship.The family was concerned,, but little did they know how bad it would get. In order to please his morena he started taking a cocktail of doctor prescribed penile stimulants, and he also enlisted the "herbalists" (curanderos) to augment his chances with natural stimulants. He wanted a good solid erection. He got one that lasted six months. After his chemical ingestion he ended up in the hospital nearly dying,, and with military flagpole syndrome.
      Since a man's stimulation comes with a bulge it can be more embarrassing. Years ago I remember the father of a friend divorcing his wife for a much younger women. He was under pressure to please so he had an internal penis pump installed or a penile implant. When a man is sexually aroused, all he has to do is squeeze the pump between the thumb and index finger, and an erection occurs. When I heard this all I could think about were the possible malfunctions. Imagine turning left a little too quickly in the supermarket, squeezing the pump by mistake then poking through the napkin shelve only to exit on the other side in the cereal aisle.
