Priapism\n\nSeriously, that's what it's called.  It's very real.  It's not from a "bad back".  It's caused by spinal cord injuries.

There can be many causes for soft or weak erections, or problems maintaining an erection.  These causes include age (usually after 30), vascular problems, penis injury, such as damage to veins and arteries inside the penis, a hormonal imbalance, excessive stress and anxiety, diabetes, chronic smoking/drinking, drugs, over-masturbation and sexual exhaustion, or surgery.  If left untreated, weak erections can lead to permanent sexual dysfunction!

I would suggest a website such as Wikipedia for more information, as there are many causes and "cures" for it.\n\nIn brief, impotence is either physical or psychological. The way a penis becomes erect is a rush of blood to the organ, which then causes the penis to become rigid to aid during intercourse. Impotence is the condition when this blood does not stay in the penis for long enough, or the inability for any blood to get to the penis in the first place.\n\nPhysical\nIf the impotence is caused by a physical problem, then the cause can be disease or infection, a blockage of the veins, or some other restriction. The cure would be to provide medication or surgery to help the symptoms reverse.\n\nPsychological\nSometimes the problem is caused through the brain. Maybe the man does not feel up to it, is tired, or feels insecure. These and other similar reasons can impact on his ability to "perform". The way to cure this is to help the man through his emotional problems and allow him to feel safe and secure again.

This is what the American Cancer Society states:\nAn erection occurs when the brain sends a signal down the spinal cord and through the nerves that sweep down into the pelvis. Some of these important nerves run along both sides of the prostate gland. \n\nWhen this signal is received, the spongy tissue inside the shaft of the penis relaxes and the arteries (blood vessels) that carry blood into the penis expand. As the walls of these blood vessels stretch, blood races into the penis at up to 50 times its usual speed. The blood fills 2 spongy tubes of tissue inside the shaft of the penis. The veins in the penis, which normally drain blood out of the penis, squeeze shut so that more blood stays inside. This causes a great increase in blood pressure inside the penis, which produces a firm erection.

The veins coming out of the penis constrict and keeps more blood in the actual penis than would normally be there.  This causes the penis to become erect.  Also, hormones begin to cause pupils to dilate (believed to allow more image to be taken into the body), the heart begins to beat faster and breathing increases.  I'm sure there's more, but this is all I can remember at the time being.

If you've gained a lot of weight, it's possible that the expanding fat around there has shortened your effective length.  A certain amount of your penis is inside you anyway, which makes it stand up when hard, but if you are obese, the skin pushes farther outward, making it seem shorter.  Lose some weight.

Dude, you probably cut or scraped the tube inside your penis. You need to see a doctor. This is not only painful but could lead to a very serious infection. I would not wait long either, as some of those infections can become serious in a shot time. Sorry to tell you, but it's really your only choice. I wouldn't be too embarrassed, doctors are use to seeing this type of injury.

If it's been going on that long, what do the doctor's say?\nLow back problems include spondylitis, lumbar stenosis, fractures of the vertebrae, inter-vertebrae disc problems, and possibly something pressing on the spine.\nThere's a mountain of information on any of the internet's quality medical websites like http://www.webmd.com

It means the sex was especially vigorous, enthusiastic, or even rough.  It doesn't mean you had sex in a certain position like some people have posted, or that he was especially "well endowed", it just means they went at it with a lot of passion and a lot more enthusiasm.\n\nNo, it doesn't mean your back actually hurt.  It's just an expression.

In men\n\n      Long-term diabetes can cause damage to the nervous system, which is involved in the complex process of erection.\n\n      This means men with diabetes may suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) and be unable to get or maintain an erection. As many as a third of men with diabetes experience ED.\n\n      \n      Term watch\n      Erectile dysfunction is another name for impotence.\n      Some men only discover they have diabetes when they seek treatment for their erectile dysfunction.\n\n      Once diabetes has been regulated through diet, pills or insulin injections, sexual problems usually disappear and the ability to get an erection is restored.\n\n      In women\n\n      A number of women with diabetes may suffer from recurring vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina), which is usually due to yeast infection. This makes sex painful. You may suffer itching or burning sensations.\n\n      Women with diabetes may also get recurring cystitis.\n\n      There is also some suggestion that women with diabetes have problems with arousal, and just as the penis fails to become erect in the man, the clitoris in a woman may not respond to stimulation in the normal way.\n\nCan you make your sex life work when you have diabetes?\n\nIf you feel diabetes is causing problems with your sex life, talk to your doctor.\n\nWhile no-one relishes talking about sexual problems with a doctor, these issues can only be addressed if you seek help.\n\nYour doctor will try to find out whether sexual problems are caused by defects in the nervous or circulatory system as a result of the diabetes, or whether they are of a more psychological nature. Often this distinction is difficult to make.\n\nIn any case, when sexual dysfunction begins to happen on a regular basis it tends to get worse unless it is properly treated, so the psychological element inevitably builds up.\n\nAn increasing number of men who have diabetes and ED are being helped by medicines such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).\n\nIf tests confirm that your nervous system hasn't been damaged by diabetes, and there are no associated circulatory problems, there's no reason why your sex life shouldn't recover.\n\nSometimes a little help and support from your partner and doctor is all that's needed.\n\nWhat can be done about sexual problems that are not caused by diabetes?\n\nThis is a sensitive issue, but help is available.\n\nGenerally the most useful first port of call is your family doctor, who can refer you (and your partner) to a psychosexual therapist - or marriage guidance counsellor if this is more appropriate.\n\nTry not to dwell on the fact diabetes can cause sexual problems - just because it can, doesn't mean it will.\n\nAnd if you do experience difficulties, be reassured that nowadays there is a lot of help available.

Yes, it is a form of ED. Some men can't get an erection at all and some men can't maintain one. A friend of mine told me once that her husband used a ring at the base of his penis that helped him maintain his erections. I don't know the nice term for it, but the rude one is a *ock ring

This is a serious condition where the internal tissue of the penis turns to scar tissue. This disease was first documented by a French physician named Francois de la Peyronie, whom had discovered that scar tissue in the penis could result in significant bending of the penis.\nBecause this scar tissue is hard and inflexible, it causes the penis to bend when erect. A plaque on the top of the shaft (most common) causes the penis to bend upward; a plaque on the underside causes it to bend downward. In some cases, the plaque develops on both top and bottom, leading to indentation and shortening of the penis. Although this curvature can sometimes by quite painful, the plaque itself is non-cancerous. \nIt is also possible that the penis may be hard at the base, but soft at the top or skinny in the middle like an invisible band has been fastened around it.\nUnlike hypospadias, which is an accident at birth, Peyroie’s disease is acquired during adult life. It can occur fast, without any apparent reason; a man may wake up one morning with his erection bent over. It affects about 1 % of men. Most reported cases have been white males in the 40-60 age range. \nThe course of Peyronie's bent and croaked disease is different in each patient and some patients experience improvement without a cure treatment, medical experts suggest waiting 1 to 2 years or longer before attempting to correct it surgically. During that wait, patients often are willing to undergo treatments whose effectiveness has not been proven. \nSome researchers have given men with Peyronie's disease vitamin E orally in small-scale studies and have reported improvements. Yet, no controlled studies have established the cure effectiveness of vitamin E therapy. Similar inconclusive success has been attributed to oral application of para-aminobenzoate, a substance belonging to the family of B-complex molecules. \nResearchers have injected chemical agents such as verapamil, collagenase, steroids, and calcium channel blockers directly into the plaques. These cure interventions are still considered unproven because studies have included low numbers of patients and have lacked adequate control groups. Steroids, such as cortisone, have produced unwanted side effects, such as the atrophy or death of healthy tissues. Another intervention involves iontophoresis, the use of a painless current of electricity to deliver verapamil or some other agent under the skin to the plaque. \nRadiation therapy, in which high-energy rays are aimed at the plaque, has also been used. Like some of the chemical treatments, radiation appears to reduce pain, but it has no effect at all on the plaque itself and can cause unwelcome side effects. Although the variety of agents and methods used points to the lack of a proven cure treatment, new insights into the wound healing process may yield more effective therapies in the near future. \nPeyronie's bending disease has been treated with some success by surgery. The two most common surgical methods are removal or expansion of the plaque followed by placement of a patch of skin or artificial material, and removal or pinching of tissue from the side of the penis shaft opposite the plaque, which cancels out the bending effect. The first method can involve partial loss of erectile function, especially rigidity. The second method, known as the Nesbit procedure, causes a shortening of the erect penis.\nSome men choose to receive an implanted device that increases rigidity of the penis. In some cases, an implant alone will straighten the penis adequately. In other cases, implantation is combined with a technique of incisions and grafting or plication (pinching or folding the skin) if the implant alone does not straighten the penis.\nMost types of surgery produce positive results. But because complications can occur, and because many of the phenomena associated with Peyronie's disease (for example, shortening of the penis) are not corrected by surgery, m

There is a power drain when you get an erection.  This power drain takes a little time to build back up.  It is during these times when you see guys cutting fingers off with power tools, answering those stupid questions like "do i look fat in this", and talking incoherently when a women with nice totties and back side walks by!

Sure! \nImpotence is the failure to get or keep an erection. It was once thought that impotence was ONLY caused by psychological factors, such as performance anxiety or depression. Most cases of impotence are actually caused by physical illness, with only one in ten cases caused by psychological problems. There are many diseases that prevent proper sexual functioning of the penis, by affecting either blood flow or nerves. Some of these diseases include heart disease, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. Cigarette smoking, alcoholism and some prescription drugs can also cause impotence. Major surgery for prostate or bowel cancer also causes impotence.\nTreatments are varied.\nThere are a number of different treatments for impotence. It is usual to start with the least invasive treatment, such as tablets, and to recommend more complicated injection treatments or surgery if the tablets fail.\nHealth fraud sells false hope. Whether fraud is packaged as exotic pills and potions, phony cures or "miracle" remedies, it thrives on wishful thinking, naivete, or desperation. Fraud wastes a consumer's money, and in some cases, valuable time, especially when it causes a consumer to postpone proper treatment for a medical problem. \nTherefore, don't be too embarrassed to see your physician before you begin any treatment regimen.
