ED
A never-ending erection leads to a lawsuit. Booze leads to a terrible tattoo.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a man from my home state of Georgia turned a serious go of priapism into a huge windfall.
Per the story, a truck driver from DeKalb County (the "L" is silent), sought treatment for his erectile dysfunction from Boston Men's Health Center (a national and international series of male-focused clinics headquartered in Florida). They gave him a syringe of a proprietary compound and told him to inject his junk with the formula thrice a week. He did so, suffered prolonged erections, and is now scarred and permanently damaged.

Testosterone spray Axiron could solve some man problems.
According to Bloomberg, the company Acrux may be on the way to making some big dollars and some couples really happy. The company is testing a testosterone-boosting drug called Axiron that restores hormone levels to normal in 84 percent of test subjects after four months of testing.
As you may know, low man-juice (testosterone, in this case) can lead to memory loss, osteoporosis and erectile malfunctions. Obviously, the major selling point for the drug, which is applied via underarm spray, is as tonic for Erectile Dysfunction. Read: Why Do Older Men Get ED?

Receding hairlines, love handles, waning erections... the list of male insecurities goes on and on.
You'll never see a dude turn to another dude and ask, "Do I look fat in these pants?" But that doesn't mean men are invulnerable to insecurities, no matter how much we'd like to think so. Women are upfront about their fears, doubts, and self-esteem. I used to think it was just compulsive gabbiness, a quirk of the fairer sex. But, in fact, it is an admirable coping mechanism that's even a little bit courageous. That said, I'll sack up and admit that I've spent a lot of my life feeling like a fatty, a chubasaurus, half-man and half-marshmallow. Read More
There is a thick line between Priapism and regular hilariously inopportune erections.
According to Asylum, an ex-con named Dawud Yaduallah is suing New York's penal system (heh) over failure to treat his 55-hour erection. Per the suit, the former guest of the state was told to ice down his groin by the prison's female nurse and was not admitted to a hospital for two days. This Priapism case was the gift that kept giving as it led to erectile dysfunction, painful sex (not in a Mellencamp kind of way) and the inability to climax (b-ing an l, if you will). While I would imagine that a female nurse (is … Read More
Who would have guessed.
Look out, Viagra! Your long stint of unrivaled success may come up against a new competitor in a few years. What's behind this new threat to the mighty blue pill? The malodorous (some may say nauseating) gas, hydrogen sulfide. That's the substance responsible for the stench of flatulence, rotten eggs and car exhaust, the unpleasant smell that makes us scrunch up our noses and 10-year-old boys curl over with laughter.
This doesn't mean anyone should bottle up the fumes and take a big whiff before engaging in a lovemaking session. But the discovery that the gas plays a role … Read More
One woman wonders why men lose their erections as they age. Is it more than just stress?
So, erectile dysfunction. Ever been with a guy who can't get it up? How do you feel? Embarrassed? Frustrated? Guilty? Or maybe just miffed? Today on Nerve's Date Machine Airheadgenius posts about how as she gets older she encounters more and more men whose penises aren't getting hard, and she wonders why.
"Whilst my (Thank you God even though I am an atheist) experience with the phenomenon is very limited, it has been suggested that the root cause is stress. And it makes sense that a man approaching middle age probably has bigger and fancier stresses than a manboy … Read More
Prolonged erections are known as priapism, and they happen to women too!
You've heard the warnings on the Viagra commercials saying that if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours you should call a doctor. Well, in this piece, MSNBC explores prolonged erections, known as priapism. These ultra hard-ons don't come from being turned on and they don't go away after you orgasm.
They occur when the penis fills with blood, as in a normal erection, but for some reason it's unable to get out. Apparently they're extremely painful, and really do need a professional's attention. A doctor will drain the … Read More

No time for dysfunction if you just keep functioning.
Erectile Dysfunction. The mere words send shivers up the spines of middle-aged (and sometimes younger) fellas. The thought of not being master of one's own domain is too much to bear. And so an entire mega-industry has grown around defending and reviving manhood. We call this industry medical science. But this boner-industrial complex could be a house of Viagra tablets if new data from a Finnish study proves true.
It turns out that if you don't use it you do lose it. Ergo, if you do use it you won't lose it. Therefore, the … Read More
