If you had an erection lasting more than four hours, would you call your doctor?

As a woman, I can tell you, nobody wants that thing to last 4 hours!

Yes – if your erection lasts for more than four hours, the sustained blood pressure can actually damage things permanently. Better to have an erection every day of your life for a couple of hours than to have one final erection that lasts five or six hours, no?

I could beat that problem. :P

When problems such as this occur, you just have to get a grip. Take the dilema firmly in hand. Be sure to see the ups and downs of it all. Massage that issue at great length if needed. Until finally a solution bursts forth.

I always laugh at those commercials – “If you have an erection lasting longer than four hours call your friends immediately to brag about it.”

In that case, I would have a whole other set of issues. I think I would call Ripleys.

Go straight to the ER it’s a medical emergency. Complications can include blood clots forming in the penis and then causing heart attacks, brain damage lung damage etc, ischemia of the penis resulting in gangrene and needing amputauion of the penis. Also it is very painful.

It can be caused by a lot of things including alcohol and cocanine and many prescription medications.

Priapic, I think its called.

priapism.

I just saw the “hubba hubba”, too funny!

I’m not sure whether to wince or to LOL. You guys are disgusting/hilarious. LOL/EEW.

yea its priapism named after the greek god Priapus
“He was best noted for his huge, permanently erect penis, which gave rise to the medical term priapism.”

@uberbatman, and also, in art, Priapus is, more often than not, weighing his signature organ.

If I could find the phone, I’d call, but the symptoms also include loss of vision. I always envision myself stumbling around the house blind, poking holes in the wall.

If i could only keep one for just four hours then, yes, I’d call.

You bet I’d make a few calls.
hubba hubba…I wipe a tear

@Astro It seems like that would interrupt the flow of business. http://www.fluther.com/disc/27646/what-do-you-put-in-your-coffee/#quip299068

Why didn’t Nancy Reagan just come out and say that cocaine causes gangrene of the penis? That might have ended the war on drugs right there.

@fireside, because people would have snorted coke anyway, and then shot up heroin into their penises to kill the pain.

@dale – whoa! my junk is turning green. this must be some really good stuff!

@fireside- that Nancy Reagan remark is simply hilarious!! LOL!

Seriously, if I had an erection lasting more than four hours I’d have johnpowell punch me in the dick.

If it happened to my husband, we’d have a very enjoyable 3 hours and 59 minutes first.

Blood clots forming in your weenie, then traveling to your heart and brain and killing you. I hope to god I don’t start thinking about THAT while “in the moment.”
Talk about killing the mood.

I never really thought about this, but when you go to the hospital for your 4 hour erection, what exactly do they do about it?

“Nurrrrrrrrseeeeee we have a big problem out here im going to need you to take care of”

In an episode of True Blood on HBO, a guy had to go to the ER for this and had his penis drained of blood – with a very large needle.

Augustian, I don’t even have one of those and I doubled over in pain at the reading of it!

Damn, I love that show.

So really? a big ol needle? I think id rather be stuck with the erection…

@uber: NO! Think of the GANGRENE! Needles are better than AMPUTATION, no?

im not talking about this any more. Its hurting to think about it…..

augustlan – lurve! haha
