Answer 1

Since you made the comment regarding a rubber band, I suspect you are just posting out of boredom and not because you really have this issue. However, in case you really are in trouble or someone else is, I will answer this question as it will be helpful to those that might really have this problem.

Priapism, persistent erection, is the result of trapped blood. This requires medical treatment asap! If not treated immediately, you run the risk of scarring and erectile dysfunction.

Causes include:
certain medications
sickle cell anemia
trauma
illegal drug use
black widow spider bites
carbon monoxide poisoning
cancer (in rare cases)

Treatment can involve:
ice
aspiration (draining)
intracavernous injection
shunt
ligation

Do not try to treat this yourself! If treatment is prompt, results are positive.
