Guest StuCotts Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 It appears that priapism can be treated by sticking a needle into the affected dick and injecting anti-inflammatories or, in advanced cases, by sticking a really big needle in and drawing out the blood. Learned it all from True Blood. That show is endearing itself to me in spite of myself. Quote

If only that were my affliction and I had the bank account for an agressive course of therapy. Quote

According to that episode, the chemically induced hard-on that won't quit is terribly painful, with the possibility of permanent disablement of the afflicted dick. It was the suffering and the possibility that made the character give in to the friend who told him he should see a doctor. The doctor examined the damage under a discreet sheet, declared the dick to be the color and shape of an eggplant, and stated the treatment options available in relatively normal circumstances. But the patient had waited too long, and was obliged to endure the drastic one of having the blood drawn. The deed was done without anesthetic of any kind. The patient's reaction to the needle being driven into his eggplant was surely the actor's bid for an Emmy. My strictly personal view is that none of the above sounds enjoyable on any level. Quote

BiBottomBoy Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Of course the show is only refering to cases where it's caused by vampire blood, so I'm not worried. Quote

This case came about because of an exaggerated dose of what the TV ads call "male enhancement". So, depending on your personal habits, you're not necessarily off the hook. Quote
Members Lucky Posted October 4, 2008 Members Posted October 4, 2008 Once I did actually have the uncontrollable erection, and I attribute it to an odd combo of meds I did all of the usual thing to get it to go away, and believe me, when you can't control your own dick after 4 hours, panic sets in! It was not at all an erotic experience. Quote
BiBottomBoy Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 If I couldn't control my dick for two minutes I'd be uncomfortable. Quote
Members lookin Posted October 4, 2008 Members Posted October 4, 2008 So, depending on your personal habits, you're not necessarily off the hook. I've been casting about for a robust yet stylish headband that would allow me to have a discrete Cialis IV drip installed when the time comes. This thread has got me rethinking my approach to the looming Golden Years. Quote
