Nonischemic Priapism

Well, I know what priapism is.  It's that dreaded erection lasting more than 4 hours that you have to be aware of when taking ED meds.  But Nonischemic Priapism?  Fortunately you have me to explain it to you, thanks to my lifetime subscription to the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

Nonischemic Priapism is what happened recently to a 21 year old Iranian man who decided getting a tattoo on his dick would be a good idea.  So he had a phrase done in Persian which translates to "Good luck on your journeys".  Pretty clever if you let it sink in a moment.  Wish I had thought of it first.  Anyway, the tattoo artist, instead of using an electric needle, went old school and used a hand held needle.  The problem is that he caused what the journal describes as "bleeding from deep penile tissue for several days".  The end result is a case of Nonischemic Priapism, in layman's terms a semi-erect penis.  All the time.  24/7/365.

The journal goes on to say the young man is not in any pain and besides, nobody knows how to correct it anyway.  He's still able to have full erections; he just never goes fully soft.  I would say something witty here, but I can't think of anything.  Add your own tag line in the comments.

Ooooo, I get to go first. Never heard of it but I feel oh so informed this morning. What was even funnier is that right across your post is the picture of Palin (whack job).

I always go to Grumpy for my Iranian dick tattoo information.

The real question is did he have to be erect for the tattoo? Get on it.

I don't know Ace, but I'm sure you'll want to see a picture:

It must have been a hard decision to make for that Iranian.

Grumpy said...

I see what you did there fleshpot. Very clever.
