Erectile dysfunction probed with engineering tool :eek: :eek:

The title of the article scares me, let alone the actual methodology. No engineering tools are getting near mine (dysfunctional or not).

“…an individual male may exhibit ED with one partner but not with another…”

Well, duh!

A lot of the spam I delete suggests that what men are looking for is tight p*y but this research indicates that these are more likely to cause problems - they provoke desire, but diminish performance to paraphrase the Bard.

“[M]athematical models of penis geometry” is such a band name.

On the other hand, I’m now never going to ask a mechanical engineer what they’re studying, for fear that it’ll involve injecting saline solution into penes and then pressing on them until they buckle. Because I know mechanical engineers. And they don’t wash their hands often. And I don’t need that mental image, thanks.

You assume too much.

As unlikely as it apprears to be, the mechanical engineers who did this test could quite possibly have been really hot women! :slight_smile:

Then again… probably not. :frowning:

I see an Ig Nobel prize award in the future for these researchers.

Ummm…been there, done that. But it was for the removal of a shunt after I had the roto-rooter job done for a kidney stone. I was asleep for the roto-rooter. I wasn’t asleep for the shunt removal.

And I made the mistake of looking over the top of the drape. :frowning:

The instrument was the size of an aluminum T-ball bat, Isweartogod it was. :frowning: :frowning:

And he said, “Okay, you’re going to feel a little pressure now.” And then proceeded to shove that thing up my johnson and halfway through my spinal cord. :eek: :eek: :eek:

After many years of sad experience, I know that when a doc says that, or “You may feel a little discomfort” you are in for agonizing, excruciating, mind-numbing, searing pain.

“Buckling” ::::shudders::::
