#1 "endured a painful and lengthy recovery"

Painful I can believe, but the "lengthy" part is probably just the plaintiff stroking his ego.

#4 I assume the guy had a penile implant which broke when his friend flipped on him. TIMBERRRR!!!!!!!!!! Also noted the guy is too chicken to give out his name. Probably wise. I can see the jokes around the coffee machine now. Er, just how many toothpicks did it take to make that thing, anyhow? Did you get splinters? Wasn't it under warranty or something?

#5 No implant involved in penile fracture.
http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic3415.htm

Penile fracture is the traumatic rupture of the corpus cavernosum. Traumatic rupture of the penis is relatively uncommon and is considered a urologic emergency.

Sudden blunt trauma or abrupt lateral bending of the penis in an erect state can break the markedly thinned and stiff tunica albuginea, resulting in a fractured penis. One or both corpora may be involved, and concomitant injury to the penile urethra may occur. Urethral trauma is more common when both corpora cavernosa are injured.

#6 I'd rather be jabbed in the eye with a red-hot poker. At least I have a spare eye.

#7 "sexual dysfunction that hasn't responded to medication or counseling"
What kind of counseling can 'it' get? Does somebody talk to it? Is it group therapy? Should it go to it's 'happy place' whenit is scared? I will stop now.

#8 In the Middle East, common cause is not masturbation but "penile manipulation to achieve detumescence"

Fascinating. Wonder if there is a fatwa on this.

Etiology: In the Western Hemisphere, the injury most commonly occurs during sexual intercourse when the penis slips out of the vagina and strikes the perineum or the pubic symphysis. Other potential causes include industrial accidents, masturbation, gunshot wounds, or any other mechanical trauma that causes forcible breaking of an erect penis.

In Middle Eastern countries, the injury more commonly occurs secondary to penile manipulation to achieve detumescence. Additional rare etiologies include turning over in bed, a direct blow, forced bending, or hastily removing or applying clothing when the penis is erect.
