<< "I don't know what this couple were playing at, but there must have been tremendous pressure inside the penis to make this happen." >>

A penis 'exploding' ranks right up there on the believability scale with spontaneous human combustion.

There IS such a thing as 'breaking' one's penis that could conceivably cause an injury similar to the one described, although the penis contains no bones so we're really talking about a rupturing of engorged tissue. It has been documented to occur as the result of unusually vigorous masturbation technique or during sexual intercourse. What sort of 'technique' qualifies as 'unusually vigorous' I'll leave to one's imagination, but it is understandible how it could happen during intercourse.

The man and woman (or, I suppose, it could happen to homos, too) are going at it pretty hard, the man withdrawals a little too far and the penis 'slips' out, as he thrusts back in he meets resistance from the perineum and the penis is 'bent' sharply, rupturing the blood-engorged vessels. Reported to be an excruciating injury to which microvascular surgical repair is a virtual certainty, though the penis will probably never be 100% again. :(

I think I'll take that risk. Sucks for Ilarie though. I wonder what the recover time for that would be. Poor guy.

What a sorry ass penis. I heard of penis' that are too small, but penis' that explode is just plain sad.

There must've been some serious friction going on for something like that to happen:p -kd5-

Yup, it is called a fractured penis. Not common but it happens, never heard of the skin bursting though.

Priapism is a whole other problem. Happens when you sever your spinal cord, you get an erection. We see them every so often with accident victims. We always tell the interns it will point to the side of the body they fell on. ;)
