Is This Possible?

 

"I have a 19-year old nephew who claims he's never had an erection not even a typical morning boner. Is this possible? What mechanism actually traps blood in the dick to make it and keep it hard?"

That would be unusual. But it is possible. Can he at least get semi-hard?

You really made me dig deep on this one. According to the Cleveland Clinic in the article "Erection and Ejaculation: How It Works," posted in November 2020, it has to do with compression.

"The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand and creating an erection. The tunica albuginea (the membrane surrounding the corpora cavernosa), helps to trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, sustaining the erection."

Additionally, the Michigan Institute of Urology, in their article, Vasculogenic Erectile Dysfunction, gets more detailed in what does or doesn't happen in the getting of and maintaining an erection. There are many forms and causes of ED; Psychological and physiological, And different ways of treating it.

Is it possible that nerve centers were somehow damaged? Is it possible that one (or more) of the interior sheaths (Tunica, or Deep Bucks Fascia) didn't form properly? Most likely, only a Ultrasonography could discover that. I'd suggest a trip to a top-rated urologist for a full-on genital examination.

Because, in my opinion, an otherwise healthy male his age should be experiencing multiple erections every day and every night.

Not to mention that the lack of ejaculations raises his risk of prostate cancer.

In the meantime, he could try using a cock ring.

As long as he doesn't keep it in place longer than 30 minutes, or so.

Any other interim ideas, Readers?

Enjoy Yourself, But...

There's something freeing about discussing the male body. Last evening friends were over and we talked about the book Manhood: The Bare Reality, which lead to discussing my Manhood Project.

One of my friends, who has spent her entire life in medicine and has a 20-year old son, didn't know that men face body issues, worry about cock size and whether they are "performing" well sexually. She also did not know that a man could break his cock. And, she's the second woman in two weeks who has said this.

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is possible to break a cock. The Tunica is a fibrous sheath under the skin of the shaft. It surrounds the chambers which fill with blood to create an erection. The Tunica basically retains the proper shape - without it, your cock would blow up like a round balloon. And, I ask you, what could you do with that?

When you have a boner, the Tunica can crack.

Whether it happens by getting caught in clothing when you roll over in your sleep,

7

or from very vigorous sex. During sex, it mostly happens with someone riding your cock and missing on reentry.

It can be painful. The resultant scar will cause a bend in your boner, known as Peyronies.

Oddly enough, a lot of men going to the ER (yes, it can be that badly damaged)

 have admitted they were masturbating. Uh, yeah....

That's a word of caution. Yes, we all can get caught up in the moment, carried away, but be cautious. Enjoy yourself, but treat your cock with care; it's the only one you'll get.

Too Complicated

I don't know if any of you have been watching the limited series Big Little Lies on HBO. Last night's episode found Celeste (Nicole Kidman) finally fighting back when her husband Perry (Alexander Skarsgaard) abuses her. She gives him a good swift smack to his boner with some object I couldn't quite see clearly.

2

The result, of course, was him doubled in pain and grabbing his crotch. The diagnosis in the ER scene, as they released him, was announced as "a broken urethra." What they really meant was a "fractured Tunica," the fibrous sheath of the penis surrounding the Cavernosum, those spongy caverns that fill with blood and makes the cock stand up.

3

I know it was way too complicated for them to go into. But....

4

5

The most common cause is due to having someone ride your cock. They lift up a bit too far, and when they slam back down....

Morning wood actually occurs numerous times during the night.

6

A guy rolls over on it and.... You may not notice it. It may not wake you. But there might be spots of bruising along the shaft in the morning. However, if you're nude, it is free to move.

7

With the cracking of a boner, healing will typically result in a bent shaft due to the scar tissue.

8

If the bend is too severe, it will make penetrative activity impossible.

9

That can be corrected with surgery, but I'll spare you the gruesome photos. Your cock is not indestructible. You can break it, you can permanently damage it.

10

You need to be cautious with those boners, guys.

Be Prepared for Boners

Speaking of BOEs... Those daytime spontaneous boners can be damned uncomfortable as they snake their way down a pant leg, feeling trapped.

2

It's why you'll see guys adjusting the package.

The ones we have when we sleep are no different - except we aren't aware of them and don't always adjust the position. And, that can be dangerous.

There may not be a bone in there, but we don't call it a boner for nothing. There's a membrane called the Tunica that surrounds the shaft. This membrane prevents the Cavernosae from bursting like an over-filled balloon. And it can crack; a guy actually can break his cock. Even severely enough to require surgery to repair it.

10

Because BOEs are solely a means of delivering oxygen they've actually begun as soon as the penis develops in the womb. It's up to parents (especially you fathers out there!) to make sure their son's equipment is properly protected. Once a male is past the need for potty training, he should never - never - wear clothing below the waist when sleeping.

11

Don't let your boners get trapped.

Protect your cock, be prepared for those boners.

14

Sleep naked.
