Not equipped with crumple zones.

Over the last few weeks I have repeated run into people talking about the penis slipping out during sex. Most of the time, these accounts have led to fear of getting hurt or minor injury. A few have not been so fortunate.

Being as I possess a penis, the concept of inflicting damage upon it is quite abhorrent. I'm quite attached to mine thank you.

It may sound funny to hear someone say they broke their penis. It carries the horrified naughtiness that makes for what passes as inspired slap-stick in today's cinema. I have even heard some folks scoff that a penis can actually break since it's in essence a fleshy balloon. Unfortunately, it can happen and does with more frequency than most guys ever want to think about.

If you don't recollect your anatomy and physiology lessons, the human penis is comprised of three major sections. The two Corpora Cavernosa are situated in parallel dorsally on the longitudinal axis. The Corpus Spongisum is positioned ventrally and centered. The Cavernosa are what allows the penis to become erect. It would perhaps be more correct to consider them hydraulic chambers as opposed to balloons. Blood provides support hydrostatically. Nice and elegant as systems go.

Things go tragically awry when the erect penis hits something head-on, or even at a sharp angle. There's only so much flex it accommodate before something has to compress. Water, therefore blood, does not compress which means the meager tissues surrounding it have to take the overload. In response they tend to rupture in dramatic fashion, which translates into some poor schmuck writhing like a salted slug while his wang turns five shades of ugly colors.

Welcome to the emergency room. Like certain exclusive bits of the body, the Corpora Cavernosa do not repair. You better hope that the surgeries are successful or you have a good supply of Popsicle sticks and duct tape.

Hell of a consequence hunh? I'm betting a few women out there would be utterly horrified to be party to something like that. The ones with a huge smile and calculating expression probably should be avoided by all but the most reckless. But how does one avoid this gruesome and phobia-inducing fate?

First of all, you're at higher risk of boner breakage when engaging in vigorous sex. If you like to slam-fuck in a frenzy, enjoy, but be aware you could suffer a high-speed blow-out. If you like to have sex on hard furniture such as but not limited to desks, tables, pianos, sculpture, or embalming tables; disengaging and hitting the unyielding surface with force is a leading cause of reported injuries. Another statistically high percentage suffered a painful mishap while in a female superior position.

Be aware of how far you're pulling back before thrusting home again and you'll avoid most of the risk. By all means, go for the fun long, deep thrusts. Just try not to come all the way out. If you do happen to slide all the way out, make sure you're started inside correctly before putting your weight behind the thrust. Girls need to keep that in mind too and be aware when they are on top that if they lean way back, they're putting a lot of tension on that erection. Wild bouncing may feel out-of-this-world, but if he comes "out of the pocket" his poor little cock will have all the survival odds of a grasshopper against a windshield.

Just take it easy.
