A "Long And Hard" 17-Hours Of Erection

A hotel worker has described “probably the most embarrassing day of my life” of going to hospital with an erection that has lasted 17 hours.

Jason Garnett, a 23-year-old hotel worker from the spa town of Harrogate in North Yorkshire, UK, said he woke up with “morning glory” at 9am last Friday after sex with a friend, The Sun reported.

He thought nothing of it and had previous erections lasting for an hour. But by lunchtime he began to get concerned. He thought an ice bath would work — it didn’t. Then he went for an uncomfortable jog — it too failed.

Eight hours after waking up, he told a flatmate of his situation.

“You should have seen the look on his face when I told him what was wrong,” jason told The Sun.

“He was in hysterics at first, but then he realised how serious the situation was.”

Jason was taken to hospital where he was found to be suffering from priapism, a rare condition that is not caused by sexual desire or sexual stimulation. Untreated, it can permanently damage the penis.

Doctors drained more than 1.1 litres (two pints) of blood from his manhood and injected his penis 24 times with medication to try to restrict blood flow.

“Seeing them stab my penis with a needle was a horrible experience — like something out of a horror film. The pain was a 10 out of 10,” Jason said.

After 17 hours Jason’s erection was no more and he says everything is working as normal.

“It is completely normal now, apart from the fact that it looks like it’s been through a war. It’s all a bit black and blue,” he said. - Herald Sun
