Sex Fact: Fracturing Your Penis

Contributor: Kayla Kayla
Can you “break” your penis? Yes! There is no bone in the shaft of the penis (which allows it to be flaccid sometimes), but sometimes the penis needs to be hard as well. The sponge-like tissue that runs the length of the penis makes this possible while the outer layer of the penis (the ligament-like tissue) contains the spongey material.

If an erect penis is bent hard enough, there can be a “crack” which is a fracture of the ligaments of the penis. In case you were curious, the sexual position that has the most serious risk of penile fracture is the woman-on-top position, so be careful!

Oh, God, I don't have a cock and don't fuck anyone with a cock but it sounds so painful that it makes me cringe even to read about it.

I've heard about this and it's scary to think about. Is it only during rough sex that it can happen?

I've heard about it, but always as sort of an urban legend. And on Grey's Anatomy. But I've never met anybody in real life that it's happened to, and they've admitted to it.

Never heard of anyone fracturing their penis, but I definitely know it is possible. I think I may have come close to causing one a time or tow . I can get a bit rough on top at times!

Mine has 'popped' before but there was no lasting pain or damage. It certainly did not feel good. It happened during goggie style and I came out to far and missed going back in, did not feel good for the wife either.

Ow! Poor penis. It's meant to be loved, worshiped, and adored, not broken.

If I ever broke one, I'd feel like I hurt my own child. LOL
