Basically, what they seem to be saying is "If you use this stuff, invest in a few sheep." 'Cause look, if ya need th' stuff it probly means yer gittin' on up in years, which means yer SO's probly gittin' on up in years too, which means she probly can't do it fer four hours anymore even if th' thang's still stiff as a roll of quarters. So, ya gotta have a coupla sheep aroun' t' keep th' thang entertained until th' shit wears off.

Well, um, if you have pain or no feeling and a long-term erection, I think that is bad, bad news.

However, if there's no pain and lots o' feelin'... yowzers. :)

Hmmm, I almost read that as "if the election lasts more than four years" ... for once my mind sure wasn't where it usually is. ;) :)

I think the condition is called priapism, and I don't really know much about it. I was getting, at one part, vast quantities of spam for products offering to enlarge my penis, which is a neat trick considering that I don't have one.

Named for the fabled Priapus, half-goat, half-man, an ancient satyr renowned through Greece for his incessant interest in the seduction of various goddesses. Said to suffer from constant excitation as a result of some curse. Messing with Goddesses can be bad for your health.

Priapism is one of the things we check for at accident scenes where the mechanism of injury indicates that the patient might have suffered damage/injury to the spinal cord. It is done discretely with the back of the hand in an almost 'accidental-looking sweep'--to preserve the patient's dignity. There are other indicators, but this IS one of 'em. Often, trauma patients with spinal injury will not present with pain of even discomfort. In street terms, priapism is a hard on; in polite terms, an erection. Obviously, women are not checked for the 'condition', except for the Russian wrestling or weight lifting teams.

Rancher out this way had this bull that wouldn't...you know. Rancher sure wanted his herd bigger, but the bull just wasn't interested. Finally, the guy went to the vetenarian and asked for some stuff to make the bull do his bullish duty.

The vet gave him a a liter of some greenish liquid and told him that it would do the job.

And it did! That bull was riding the cows within five minutes of being drenched with the medicine. After servicing all of the heifers and the cows, he tried the pigs, the horses, and even the roosters. Finally collapsed and slept for three days straight (so to speak).

I asked the guy what was in the medicine. He said that he didn't know, but that it tasted like peppermint and after his wife poured it out on the ground the pump handle stood straight up for a week.

Three takes on priapism:

1)Brucie: you check for this at accident sites? I wish I did not know that, but now that I do, is it a good thing or a bad thing (at an accident site?) I would guess it's a bad thing because it indicates the damn thing is going off independent of mental arousal.

2)Graffitti from the Stanford University math building external stone stairwell, a source of much male self-awareness: "Abstinence makes the fond grow harder"

3)Great thread title, Bobert! I saw the commercial with that 'warning' at last year's superbowl, just prior to Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction. That show was replete with ads in questionable taste, little boys having their mouths washed out because when they saw a new car's folding roof they invariably cried "holy Sh-!", and at least one other pretty suggestable topic, but I recall wondering what kind of audience these advertisers thought they were influencing, (and if they were right, godelpus). The cialis commerical came on and we all laughed at that 'warning' from which some clever clever writer cum lawyer must've earned a big boner, er bonus.

Rapaire, that was funny! (Took me a few seconds though.)

I would think the priapism after an accident has something to do with blood flow/inflammation in the area (pelvic area), and the lower spine would be near too, so it might have been damaged. Am I close, Brucie? I had never heard about this either.

4. TRAUMA EMERGENCIES

4.7 SPINAL COLUMN / CORD INJURIES

TREATMENT

BASIC PROCEDURES

6. Determine presence or absence of significant neurologic signs and symptoms: motor function, sensory function, reflex responses, visual inspection, bradycardia, priapism, hypotension, loss of sweating or shivering and loss of bladder/bowel control.

From the site

Massachusetts Emergency Medical Services - Trauma Emergencies ...

It is standard in North America. To be clear, the presence of pripism is an indicator, and medics check for it if other circumstance indicate there may be spinal cord compromise.

It would do little good to encounter a couple who are 'entangled' and presume from the presence of an erection that the fellow has damage to his spine. In truth, we only check if the circumstances are such taht the is a good possibility of trauma to the spine. If the guy's only complaint is a bleeding nose from a fist fight, we don't check his pecker.
