After an hour of tossing and turning in bed, I decided a little TV might put me on the road to 40 winks. Surfing through the channels, I came upon a program on the Discovery Health channel that was in the middle of some unknown surgery. I’m always curious to see what body part is the subject of a surgery, so I put the surfing on hold temporarily.
The program was all about penile fractures.
I learned three things:
-
The phenomenon of penile fracture is so rare that the average urologist sees but five cases on average in his career. Still, that’s five cases too many as far as I’m concerned.
-
A broken arm is more painful than a broken penis. Well, that’s what the urologist claimed. I’d rather hear an opinion straight from a guy who’s busted his willy and his arm before I take the urologist’s word for it.
-
Programs about penile fractures will not aid your efforts to fall asleep. Conversely, you might find it even more difficult to fall asleep – especially if you’re male – after watching such a program.
