Penile Fractures

No guy wants to even think about anything happening to their 'little man.' But a penis can break. But don't worry, it's much like any other breaking body part--it will heal. That is, it will heal if you get help. Too many men might be embarrased, but would you rather be embarrassed over the fact that during sex you broke your penis, or that during sex later on you can't get hard because you now have erectile dysfunction?

A penis can only 'break' while it is hard. During an erection, blood rushes through the penis. If it is bent or hit quite hard while in this state, the blood can break through one of two 'cylinders' in the penis. If this happens, it will make a loud 'popping' sound, and the penis will quickly turn colors. It will become bruised and red, and likely a large lump will appear. This is the pooling of blood underneath. If the urethra was damaged as well, sometimes the blood may appear at the opening on the head of the penis. Lots of articles and information refer to the broken shape as a 'boomerang' shape.

This typically happens in girl-on-top position or positions from behind (doggie-style). The woman may move in a quick, jerking manner, bending the penis, or the man may pull out to thrust and 'miss' the vagina, hitting either his partner or a close object near them. If this happens, go to the doctor. Even for mild fractures that don't cause much pain. It can cause more pain down the line, erectile dysfunction, or your penis may stay in that slightly-bent shape. This can happen at any age, so please don't hold off going to the doctor!! Yes, there is a short period of time you will have to abstain from sex, but isn't it worth it?

Five Freebies List.

The holidays were very busy for me, and as a result, I got away from my blog :(. But to my surprise, my views have stayed pretty steady, so thank you so much!!! To ease me back into working on it, I'm doing a fun little post. I was watching Friends the other night when Chandler brings up a 'list' that he and his girlfriend have together. (Here is a link to the video: Friends - Freebie list. It wasn't posting on here for some reason!) It's a list of five celebrities that you would be allowed to sleep with, while still dating your partner, if you ever get the chance. I found this funny because my boyfriend and I have talked about this before. So, just for fun, here's my list (in no particular order)!!!! 1. Heath Ledger. Candy, 10 Things I Hate About You, Casanova, The Dark Night, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Brokeback Mountain, etc. This man is, to me, the sexiest man who ever lived. It is very upsetting to me that he is no longer here, because I...

Five Freebies List--Female Version.

So, I decided to make a list of my five freebies that I would pick, but this time, just girl celebrities. It's easy to have girl crushes--girls are so pretty. The ones I have on my list are hot, but I'd love to look like them too. Again, no particular order. 1. Emma Stone Zombieland, Easy A, Crazy Stupid Love, Friends with Benefits, etc. With a head of fire (though she pulls off any color hair) and a smoky voice, how does everyone not think she's beautiful? Not to mention she's a great actress and has a good sense of humor. And she's only 23!!!! 2. Anna Paquin http://www.trueblood-news.com/anna-paquin-beautiful-mind The Piano, Fly Away Home, Scream 4, X-Men, True Blood, etc. She plays my favorite character from a book, and she does it wonderfully. She portrays a sweet southern girl so well that she makes me want to move down there and be one myself. Plus that episode where Sookie appeals to Eric & Bill in that sexy red lingerie? Yum. Not to mention th...

Product Review: Satisfyer Pro 2--Next Generation

You all might remember a couple of months ago when I reviewed a few of Satisfyer's vibrators. I love these things. Honestly. I'm not getting paid to say this (though, full disclosure, I did receive the products for free). Recently, they released the newer version of their Satisfyer Pro 2 called Next Generation. You can get it from Amazon for $49.95 . Seriously, look how freakin' cute this is!! They actually have a whole line of Next Generation models. They all look very similar to the earlier models, except for the Penguin , which is black and white and has a purple bow tie and is probably the cutest little personal massager ever made. Anyways, back to the Next Gen models. These are all made to be waterproof and quick to recharge so as to "revolutionize your bath time fun." I haven't tried any of them in water yet, but I have washed them a couple of times and they hold up completely fine. It is easy to clean, and the little head pops ...
