Is it possible to break a penis?

Question

Has anyone ever broken a penis? ...just a little curious

Answer 1

There are no bones in the penis, so it's not possible to break the penis the same way someone would break an arm or a leg.

However, in rare instances, it is possible to "break" or seriously fracture an erect penis. During an erection, blood flows into the penis through erectile tissue called the corpus cavernosa, which becomes rigid when the blood fills it. If an erect penis is struck very hard, it's possible to fracture this tissue. If a fracture occurs, a man might hear a popping or cracking sound, and will most likely experience excruciating pain and bruising. It's very important to get to an emergency room to be treated by a urologist as soon as possible if this happens.

Some mild fractures may resolve without surgery, but most urologists prefer to operate in order to reduce the risk of scar tissue and impotence that may often result.

Because these injuries do not affect the testes, where sperm is produced and stored, they do not affect fertility, but they may make it impossible for a man to have intercourse.

Hope this information helps!

Answer 2

This injury is possible but not common. There are no bones in the penis to fracture, but if it is bent too far sideways while erect, the tissue inside can suddenly tear. People who have had this happen to them experience is as a feeling of a sudden break, and they sometimes describe hearing a sound of breaking. It's extremely painful, and requires treatment from a doctor to keep the scar tissue from the injury from distorting the shape of the penis, which could make future sex activity difficult. It's possible that your boyfriend came close to a break, but only bruised it. Either way, I suggest that the two of you look at the way you're having sex together, and look for a way to keep this important organ out of harm's way.

Answer 3

I sure as heel wouldn't want to try. A sharp bend in an erect penis won't cause it to break off in your hand but you may well rupture blood vessels. An erect penis is caused by blood being forced into the veins of the penis - obviously under some pressure in order to become hard. It is also possible to suffer extreme bruising so use care and don't try it. Sometimes during intercourse your penis may fall out and not go right back in. Happens all the time to some guys and I have never heard of one "snapping" apart.

Answer 4

Absolutely it is possible to "break" a penis. It is the large vessels in the penis that can be "broken" causing hemorrhage. It is a very serious condition causes a lot of pain and can take a long time to heal. Usually there needs to be emergent surgical intervention. Even though the penis is not a "bone" it is still possible to "break it" just as someone can "break" blood vessels in their eyes, much smaller ones causing bleeding into the eye know as "bloodshot"...

I hope this answers your question.

Answer 5

yes it is cause by a break in the corpus cavernosum (tube that carrys blood to through the penis. This is a serious condition needing to be treated by an urologist.
