Lasting Forever Isn't the Best Idea

Priapism is the medical term for an erection that lasts way longer than any man would seriously want — hours, or even days.

So apparently this condition is BAD? Haha, yeah it is, in fact. Check it out- the following are the ways you can get it- if you're a guy, that is. Or... ah, nevermind.

Most case of ischemic priapism can be explained medically:

— Drug injections for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) — especially if he uses more than what’s prescribed;

— Oral therapy medications for ED;

— Using or misusing medications, like anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, anti-psychotics, or blood thinners;

— Illicit drug use, including marijuana, ecstasy or cocaine;

— Recreational use of ED drugs or excessive alcohol consumption;

— Medical conditions, particularly those that lead to blood cells losing their flexibility and mobility, such as sickle-cell anemia, or diseases that cause the blood to clot easier, like diabetes;

— Trauma to the pelvic or genital area, such as a ruptured artery from a penile injury that prevents normal circulation;

— Spinal cord injury;

— Poisonous venom from black widow spider bites;

— Carbon monoxide poisoning;

— Cancers that affect the penis and its blood flow;

— Spanish fly, a hazardous “aphrodisiac.”
