Though usually associated with vigorous sex, one comprehensive review study in the journal Trauma and Acute Care Surgery found just 19 percent of penile fractures—a.k.a., broken penises—occur during sex. A whopping 60 percent happen while men are masturbating.
The most common cause? "Angulation and manual compression," according to the study.
Basically, guys were squeezing too hard and stroked down at the wrong angle, causing a rupture of their rod's corpus cavernosa—the cylindrical tubes that fill with blood when you have an erection. Swelling and leaking, as well as a dozen other complications, can cause permanent loss of function, though typically the condition is fixable, the study authors say.
