How do you break a penis?

On a recent episode of TLC's "Sex Sent Me to the E. R," MMA fighter Ray Elbe said he broke his penis while having sex with his girlfriend.

Elbe, 38, said during the act she slipped and landed on him, bending his penis in half, reported Metro.

"Unfortunately, as she went a little bit too high, I slipped out, and when she came back down I was still obviously fully erect, and basically [she] bent me over the top," Elbe said.

According to emergency room doctors on the show, the reason his penis snapped is because the spongy tissue inside that expands during an erection broke when his girlfriend landed on it.

Blood spurted out of the wound as soon as his penis bent, and Elbe passed out from the amount of blood he lost. Elbe was rushed to the hospital to treat his injuries.

Doctors said Elbe ruptured his urethra and a major artery in his penis as well as his dorsal vein. After 12 hours of surgery and eight weeks of healing, Elbe made a full recovery.

"I've had some significant injuries, but as far as the actual pain, and I was in shock at that point, it was brutal," Elbe told the show's producers.

All I can say is "OUCH!"
Whups, did I do that?

There once was a guy from Trent
whose dick got landed on and bent
He got into trouble
when it folded over double
And instead of cumming he went

  • Pretty much happened the way it was described in the plotline that you provided.

    Penile fracture is the rupture of one or both of the tunica albuginea, the fibrous coverings that envelop the penis's corpora cavernosa, the spongy part that gets filled with blood and causes an erection. It is caused by rapid blunt force to an erect penis, usually during vaginal intercourse. It sometimes also involves partial or complete rupture of the urethra or injury to the dorsal nerves, veins and arteries. Penile fracture is a rare but serious urologic condition that typically requires surgical repair. A common cause is having the girl bouncing too heavily when she is on top of him: missionary is safer.

    • Thanks for the MHO.

  • I have heard this before. Yes when she is a jumper and weighs more than 100 pounds it can happen.

  • Wow. Sounds incredibly painful. And also like unfortunate timing.

  • I'm putting my two first fingers as a cross in front of me to say I don't know get back get back that's a question I don't even think I want to know the answer to is the only way I can see doing it isn't she gave me a knockout pill drug him out to the car still them up against the wall and slammed the car door on it damn that had to hurt

  • Yeah I have definitely heard of the penis being injured while erect, when it is pushed a way it isn't supposed to go. I would imagine that it mainly occurs when the woman is on top and riding cowgirl. If it slips out and she "crushes" down on it, it can force a bend that can damage erectile tissue. It of course can be very painful, and as you point out in your post, can require surgery.

    Needless to say, I'm not really much of a fan of "cowgirl position"... LOL

  • It can definitely happen.
    My fiancée is a nurse and she relayed me a story of a guy who had a similar incident - because his girlfriend/wife made a bad movement during intercourse.
    My fiancée and the other nurses had to regularly change his bandages and clean up the injury, and it wasn't like what someone who watches sexy movies would expect - the guy screamed and cried every time and they had to give him painkillers every time.

    I don't even want to imagine the pain one must feel in those cases and dearly hope I'll never feel it!

  • Daniela as you know this is a real (and thankfully rare) injury. It's sometimes referred to as a fractured penis but of course it's not a break or fracture of a bone. When the corpora cavernosa (which are like 2 hydraulic cylinders) are filled with blood and the penis is hard, it's vulnerable to a sudden force that can rupture those cylinders. Strangely enough the penis is at its safest when it's soft.

  • stop putting baby oil all over the place and this won't happen

  • I am in pain just thinking about it but I Have heard of this before.

  • Hopefully this is likely to happen with smaller penises like mine

    • "Less Likely"

    • Well you know the laws of leverage - the longer it is the easier it will break.

  • Yeah I have had a few accidental nothing bad like that, but my girls have slipped on my cocks. And it got banged up.

  • The easiest would be a woman riding you and it slips out, she comes down and it hits the wrong spot and bam! Only had that happen once. The slipping out. Not the breaking. Let me tell you. It hurts like Hell.

  • Yeah I’ve heard of it, luckily it doesn’t happen very often

  • Extreme torque on the erect penis

  • Wow if that is true man I wonder if it is painful given that the penis is a like ligament than a human bone

    • There is no bone in a boner. It is a misnomer.

    • Yeah I know. We have no bone in our penis

    • So "I want to bone her!" is not literally correct either.

    • Show All

  • Haha.. ouch is right.

  • How it can broke the penis doesn't have have bones

  • LOL. I saw that one. I never thought it was possible, but apparently you can snap it when it's hard. I don't know, penises are so weird.
