Hm, I've had 4+ hour erections before with no drugs. As long as I'm still being stimulated, either visually or whatever, I maintain the erection even after orgasm. I've never had ED (unless a migraine counts) but I'm curious if natural 4+ hour erections are dangerous? I certainly know its embarrassing if I have to answer the door for the Pizza delivery (yes, this has happened.)

Cry me a river. Making an assumption that the majority of men taking Cialis, Viagra et al are older men most likely involved with post-menepausal older women with no hormones OR libidos, I find it disgusting that our scientists are all-consumed with making it better for men and doing nothing for women. So a painful prolonged erection seems somehow like justice in a weird way. Just what I need; a guy with a 4 hour erection and me without a libido. Oh joy.

For those of you who really don't comprehend the situation... here it is in a "nutshell" (no pun intended). Consider the effect of your garden hose (again no pun intended) with the water turned on and a closed nozzel at the end - it will eventually bulge and split at the weakest area. The pressure has to go somewhere. The pressure damages the blood vessels, valves, nerves, and cellular tissue. That 4+ hour erection just cost your body the remaining erections for your Lifetime. Priapism is the prolonged erection that does not resolve after orgasm or when the stimulus, whatever it may be, is gone. Another FYI for you males that need to pee when you have an erection... don't force the erect penis to bend down to urinate. It will cause significant damage to your member. If your erection interfers with your toilet aim, you are far better off to let it go in the shower and rinse it down.

I certainly didn't know what it was or what to do, so I suffered through it until it went away (which it did).

Before I tried Cialis for the first time, I researched the dreaded 4-hour erection thoroughly and concluded that the reported cases probably had nothing to do with ED drugs but other physical problems. I supposed it's true that an ED drug can indirectly cause the condition but only if you're already predisposed to it for other reasons. Thank goodness!!!

Part of the problem is trying to get the medical community to treat men's health issues with the same respect as women's health gets.

I was injured in a hit-and-run that involved me getting run over while on bike, yielding testicular trauma 4 and a half months ago.

When I was taken to the ER (Lawrence & Memorial Hospital, New London, CT), the receptionist started laughing at my injuries, and the attending doctor (Dr. Catherine Glazer)told me that "testicular trauma is never a medical emergency".

Nobody has taken my injury seriously. The local urologists have turned me away due to being out of their specialty, and the Navy will not pay for an actual specialist.
End result: both testicles have atrophied, and I am having a hard time attaining/maintaining an erection.

I have never had a 4 hour erection, but I have treated patient post injection for ED. Papavarin was the drug of choice in the old days of ED, you would obtain and sustain an erection for a long period, we use to teach the patients to self inject, it was not a painful process. I could tel you stories, however during that period, I have to extract blood from the penis inorder to allow the penis to relax, my patients which amounted to I believe 3 all stated it was extremely painful and never wanted it to happen again. I only had one who was disappointed about having to have it manually extracted, he was 70 years old. So guys it is no laughing matter take it very seriouly. Steve of NYC

I have had a 6 hour erection before while with my now wife. Though we didn't know it was 6 hours until she had to leave. Having an erection for 4-6 hours isn't boring unless you don't have creativity and keep thing exciting. 6 hours wasn't planned but I'm glad to have experienced it and with her. My wife has a knock out body and that keeps me excitied and going for (as she says) too long of a time. I have taken a blue pill before and for me it has produced the same results we had a great time together. Still, I don't take any pills and because of our creativity I'm still erect even after 2 hours and maybe 3 orgasms. Maybe it's me but I like to stay erect as long as I can for my wife to pleasure her as much and as long as I can. I'm also well endowed(9") which makes things even better for her and me.

Regarding Deb's post: "Just what I need; a guy with a 4 hour erection and me without a libido. Oh joy."
Deb, Detroit, Michigan (Thursday, September 11, 2008 4:25 PM) Deb, I'm a 62 yo female and I'd strongly recommend that you talk to a doctor who will address your lack of libido. Many things can cause libido to diminishand/or disappear -- not just a drop in estrogen. There are natural and, of course, synthetic hormone replacement therapies. Sometimes the cause can be side effect from another medication you taking, and sometimes the cause is something psychological, ranging from an inexperienced, clumsy, uneducated, and/or selfish lover to attitudes you've developed at some point in your life. If your brain still works and you have electricity or batteries available to you, then try fanticizing and using a vibrator/massager. If that doesn't get you going, I think you would benefit from some professional counselling and education. Lack of sexuality is not a natural part of the aging process. And being older does not mean your sex life with (or without) a partner needs to slow down, either, unless other health issues dictate less activity. Try to get some help for yourself, please, Deb.

And then there's Phil who posted: "And you can do just about everything you might ever hope to do in the first half hour."
Phil Lewis (Friday, September 12, 2008 4:00 PM) Gosh, Phil, obviously you know how to use a computer so I'd suggest you do a bit of research on it. I can guarantee that if you try just a few activites (games, a sex toy or two, etc.), you'll find that a half hour isn't nearly enough time. Perhaps you'd like to start with AskMen.com. A few men I know have made themselves and their sex life a bit more exciting for themself and/or their partner after visiting that site. Try it. You might like it!!!!

Kathie, Minnesota — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 08:45:04 GMT

I posted earlier before reading the second page of comments. Gosh, ladies, if you aren't enjoying sex for some reason or another and not getting help to overcome whatever the problem is, no wonder you're so crabby!!!! I'm a 62 yo female and can honestly say it just keeps getting better and better!!!! If you're just finding excuses to be cruel to yourself and your husband/partner/mate, then I guess you deserve what you're getting: nothing! However, if you put in a little effort and do some research on the Net, get yourself to a doctor, and take responsibility for this unnatural situation, you may find yourself back in the swing of things and wishing you'd done something about the situation long ago.

And you guys who are putting up with the "menopause" excuse, I have one word for you: Don't!!!! Menopause is no reason for libido to disappear! I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 41 and it didn't slow me at all. (Well, I guess I took a time-out during recovery from surgery. LOL) Let her know how you feel about the lack of sex in your lives and tell her (and then do it) that you'll support her efforts to find the cause and to implement the remedy. Then I hope the next time you post to a site discussing sex lives that you'll have a much different and better experience(s) to share.

Good Luck to you all!!

I agree with Kathie from Minnesota. I had my hysterectomy at age 48, and sex just gets better and better.Menopause is no reason for libido to disappear. Now the antidepressent drugs your taking will kill your sex drive in a heartbeat. Blood Pressure and some diabetic meds also,will interfear with your sex drive. My boyfriend and I are in our fifties and we go for 31/2 to 4hrs straight, To Phil, we are just warming up in that first half hour, I am just as wet and wild at the end of 4hrs as I was in the beginning, and my man is in no pain what so ever. It helps to have no inhibitions either, that get's in the way of a beautiful time together. Woman have to explore their bodies and let loose and only then will they be able to have multiple orgasam and hang in there for 4hrs, as the saying goes,"try it you might just like it"

Arashi Nara, Kouhougakure, Kaminari no Kuni — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:15:40 GMT

I've been through the four hour hard on. It's great for the first three hours or so, and depending what you do with it doesn't get too painful. If you're having some pretty rough sex it will start to hurt a lot sooner, say about 2 hours and masturbating sooner still. Obviously there are loads of variables to take into account.
I've never used drugs or any other assists but I have had erections for longer than I would have liked, and it is uncomfortable (especially when unstimulated!), but the pain seems to go after a day or two.
I think four hours is probably a good guideline for the max time to keep it up for. After a week long hard on I think I'd welcome a one inch wonder!
With his knowledge though, I can't believe that doctor didn't get it sorted out sooner- you'd think he might realise that his willy was about to drop off! It's not like it's hard to tell if you've an over sustained boner, let's be honest. Apart from the pain it would have changed colour from the internal bleeding.
Anyway, the verdict?
I say a four-hour erection is absolutely fine, epecially if you can find enough people to entertain you for that long, as long as you know when it's gone on too long. Reviewing the facts as Dr. Sharlip commented, "Men usually know something’s wrong" and the case study by Dr. Christopher Steidle of H.A. seems to be only a minority of people who don't seek treatment.
I think it's fair to say that the general consensus goes that one's libido is more important that one's ego. Act accordingly.

During the first week of our marriage, my husband and I enjoyed our new "connubial bliss" 5 or 6 times daily. On the fifth day of our sexual marathon, he experienced priapism. Although we were both 21, neither of us had ever heard of such a medical condition, but as he was obviously in excrutiating pain, I administered what aid and comfort I could. I gave him aspirin, then applied ice packs to the 'affected area' until his situation was resolved.
We've been married 40 years now, and fortunately, he never had a recurrance of priapism. I will say that, at the time, it was more frightening than funny. Even in our youthful ignorance, we knew it was a serious situation.

There's a lot of school-yard giggling going on here, considering we're talking about a man's sexual functions and ability to perform in the future.

Would we be having such a good giggle if this was a problem women encountered, for example their clitorous?

The combination of feminism and current television has taught us that a man's sex & function is something to be laughed at. We all too frequently see promotion of sexual assault on men (kneeing, kicking, various objects smacked into our groins and so on) usually accompanied by childish high-pitched voices (which in reality only happen in extremely rare cases) and silly faces with wide eyes.

Yes - it hurts to get something wrong down there - so why is that funny?

Testicular trauma is no joking matter, and for the medical staff you encountered to laugh it off as they did (let's not even discuss the negligence issue by denying it to be an emergency) is terrible - they should be sued for humiliation & unprofessional conduct.

Ian, Massachusettes — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 00:39:01 GMT

I have no personal experience with this condition, but here's my attempt to make this a bit clearer for those who do not understand how serious this really can be.

In a healthy erection, there is greatly reduced - but not completely stopped - circulation back out of the penis. In priapism, it becomes so restricted that it is dangerous.

Think of what happens when you sit or lay in a position that cuts off circulation to one of your arms or legs - if it goes on long enough, your hand or foot will "fall asleep" or go numb because it is no longer recieving enough oxygen and nutrients to function properly. When circulation is restored you get that "pins and needles" from the nerves "waking up". If the circulation stays blocked long enough (extreme case), tissues in that area can start to die.

If the restricted bloodflow goes long enough, priapism can damage the tissues of the penis in several different (and all unpleasant) ways, ranging from internal or external bleeding fromruptures from unrelieved pressure, extreme bruising from the same, or tissue breakdown due to "starvation, suffocation" and buildup of metabolic waste not being removed.

Do not ever actually try this, but you could produce similar results by using string (or whatever) looped around the base of the penis, then twisting the ends together like a tourniguet. Some sex toys are designed to do this with moderate saftey to "enhance" erections duration or rigidity, but we are talking about masochistic levels here. Once there is a full erection, you could get the same damage, but faster, by crushing the penis in a vice or otherwise abusing it with blunt trauma. Result: one very painfully damaged length of meat that will probably never "stand straight" again.

Or you could just crouch down with your legs spread, hold your nuts out of the way to one side, and let someone give you a hard kick to the crotch.

Still find this funny?
Then you need to seek a mental health professional.

I agree that men don't get the same care that women's health issues receive. If we did, there would be far fewer suicides and other maladaptive behavior that men get into. I have long felt that the only feelings that men are allowed to have in this society are anger, drunkenness (high), and sex. That's about it.
So a situation comes along which is 1/3 of the male program and men can't deal with it in a rational/medical way.
We are asked to bend over backwards for women, but when men have a problem: Who Cares?
Men don't matter, and the groin/penis is something to be kicked. (ie funniest home videos etc.) TOO BAD !!! Ha-Ha!

PRIAPRISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX. IT IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY THAT NEEDS TO BE TREATED IMMEDIATELY, JUST LIKE ANY NUMBER OF PENILE PROBLEMS LIKE KICKS, STRADDLE INJURIES, BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA, TESTICULAR TORSION, AND ANY OTHER TYPE OF DISORDER OR INJURY.

Lets all grow up and deal with this problem for what it is...a painfull medical emergency.
