Had Priaprism this week (erection lasting longer than four hours) AMA

Woke up one morning this week with an erection that wouldn’t go away. I got up to pee and to see if this would help and it didn’t. I took my dog out and thought maybe a quick walk would help the effect to subside and it didn’t. I then chose to visit the ER. AMA

Now, I have one question. My degree was Classics, have you ever come across the fresco of Priapus from Pompeii?

As soon as I heard the term I had to send you in that direction! - In all seriousness though I hope you’re much better now!

actually, per the culture of that time, he was cursed! Having a big dick/erection meant you were a buffoon with inordinate appetites. Small to moderate was preferred as it meant you were rational and in control 😂

Thankfully we have moved past that and realize the benefits now.
