'Broken penis': Karma for cheating husbands?

[seabeyond]

Sex outside marriage, and sex that occurs under out-of-the-norm circumstances, may increase the risk of penile fractures, said study researcher said Dr. Andrew Kramer, a urologist at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

The heightened risk appears to be due to the unconventional situations, and consequently, locations, surrounding sexual acts, the researchers said. Men in the study who had suffered penis fractures commonly were having sex in unusual settings, including in restrooms or at work, when the injury occurred. The majority were having extramarital affairs.

*

While penile factures are rare occurrences, they may be underreported due to the potentially embarrassing circumstances surrounding the injury, Kramer said.

"If you're having acrobatic sex…you do have to be careful," Kramer said. "If you are doing something in a weird position or a weird situation…you do have to be careful of fracturing the penis."

1. I must say, you learn something new every day, don't you?

:rofl:

Bathrooms, cars and elevators! Karma, indeed.

2. Is that why Boehner is so Weepy?

[Kurovski]

53. No, it's why he's so bent.

[Fire Walk With Me]

4. Why did I read this?

[Cal Carpenter]

18. Seconded

:hide:

[glowing]

5. Not sure its karma unless the man feels guilty. I'd say its more to do

with the "unusual settings" or "unusual partners" than karma.

[FreeState]

27. Karma actually has nothing to do with guilt

it not like the western concept of sin. Karma is the collection of all action's intentions. There is good, neutral and negative karma.

[glowing]

42. I would say that the collective intention within the person having the sex

outside of the marriage would result in the karma intended.

[FreeState]

45. Karma is not linear - that's a western construct

Karma is like a bucket of intentions that get splashed out, it's not do this and that will happen. (in the Buddhist tradition)

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/thanissaro/karma.html

For the early Buddhists, karma was non-linear and complex. Other Indian schools believed that karma operated in a simple straight line, with actions from the past influencing the present, and present actions influencing the future. As a result, they saw little room for free will. Buddhists, however, saw that karma acts in multiple feedback loops, with the present moment being shaped both by past and by present actions; present actions shape not only the future but also the present. Furthermore, present actions need not be determined by past actions. In other words, there is free will, although its range is somewhat dictated by the past. The nature of this freedom is symbolized in an image used by the early Buddhists: flowing water. Sometimes the flow from the past is so strong that little can be done except to stand fast, but there are also times when the flow is gentle enough to be diverted in almost any direction.

So, instead of promoting resigned powerlessness, the early Buddhist notion of karma focused on the liberating potential of what the mind is doing with every moment. Who you are — what you come from — is not anywhere near as important as the mind's motives for what it is doing right now. Even though the past may account for many of the inequalities we see in life, our measure as human beings is not the hand we've been dealt, for that hand can change at any moment. We take our own measure by how well we play the hand we've got. If you're suffering, you try not to continue the unskillful mental habits that would keep that particular karmic feedback going. If you see that other people are suffering, and you're in a position to help, you focus not on their karmic past but your karmic opportunity in the present: Someday you may find yourself in the same predicament that they're in now, so here's your opportunity to act in the way you'd like them to act toward you when that day comes.

6. A lawyer I worked with broke his nose during a sex act, and covered it up

by telling his wife he got hit with a line drive during the firm's softball game. (one helluva a hit!!!)

It all came out in the divorce, a year later...

[liberalhistorian]

36. I'm almost gonna regret asking and I'm not really sure I wanna

know, but how in the hell can you break a nose during sex? Just what the hell was he actually DOING???

[msanthrope]

44. How do you break your nose during sex? When someone sits down on it too forcefully.

My understanding was that he had broken it before, (sports I think) and that the lady in question was clumsy in her passion.

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. I wouldn't have believed it possible, until it happened to someone I knew back in college.

He was getting a BJ from some co-ed in the back of a car and it "broke". Dude had to wear a cast on it for several weeks (this was back in the 80s). Never saw it myself, just going by what mutual friends told me about the treatment.

Poor guy went through years of being referred to as "Broke Dick Rick". LOL

[seabeyond]

17. no way. a cast? really? hm. nt

[Ruby the Liberal]

21. It may have been removable

like an immobilizer one would use for a bad knee. Never asked - knew more than I wanted to already! :D

I couldn't tell ya what I had for lunch yesterday, but I don't think I will ever forget Broke Dick Rick. His situation was so weird that his face immediately came to mind after all these years when I saw the thread title.

[seabeyond]

22. poor dude. nt

[WildEyedLiberal]

55. Broke Dick Rick is one of the best nicknames I've ever heard

:rofl:

Seriously... that needs to make it into a movie.

[CTyankee]

67. My first belly laugh of the day! Even my hearing impaired husband could

hear my laugh and asked me what was so funny! He didn't think it was so funny when I told him...

[petronius]

77. From a blow job? Wow - one or both of them was definitely doing it wrong

:o

I once came very close in the cowboy position - to the point that I'm extraordinarily careful even 20 years later to keep a solid grip - but I'm having trouble visualizing Rick's disaster...

[MerryBlooms]

8. I believe that sound we hear is the collective

leg crossing and groans of our male DUers.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

9. It'd save me the trouble of breaking it for him.

:P

[seabeyond]

26. +1. violence is wrong...

the end

;)

[Sal Minella]

33. Yup . . . . . ¦:^] . . . n/t

[RB TexLa]

66. A criminal's justification for their criminal act does not make their violent criminal

act something to laugh at. Domestic violence is never funny no matter how much he or she cheated.

[Cali_Democrat]

10. Oh gawd!

A fractured penis? Sounds painful. I wonder how long that takes to heal, if at all. Perhaps the wife could tease her cheating husband in some lingerie in order to cause some extra pain before his penis is fully healed.

[seabeyond]

43. that's devious.

i am thinking why waste the time. a thank you for making obvious, see ya. but.... think about your "plot", i dunno..... maybe

[negativenihil]

11. meanwhile...

edit: fuck it, not worth it.

[monmouth]

12. Absolutely the best most hilarious thread this ole gal has read in....well, ages!!...n/t

[taterguy]

16. Painful injuries are hilarious

When they happen to someone else.

:eyes:

[monmouth]

24. Why yes, since you put it that way...n/t

[Kurovski]

59. Actually, other peoples misfortunes and pain have been a part of comedy

since comedy began.

Whatever shall be done? Oh my. Cruel, croo-el humanity. All human and what-not.

Just thought I'd come to some defense. Comedy is not pretty, as they say.

[Warren DeMontague]

71. I'm not so much outraged as I am pointing out the double standard

A man being maimed for life is a laff-riot, and he 'deserved' it.

Meanwhile, many of the same posters are outraged that adult women are being 'hurt' and 'abused' by choosing to take their own clothes off in front of a camera. :shrug:

[safeinOhio]

25. Not funny.

Trust me and it isn't always when cheating.

By the way, I can pee around corners.

[hobbit709]

13. I know someone whose penis has a left hand bend.

Many years ago he accidentally slammed a dresser drawer closed on it.

It taught him NOT to do that again.

[Ken Burch]

15. The scary part is...there are probably guys who have a fetish for that.

n/t.

[seabeyond]

20. ouch. hubby's embarrassing was the zipper and mom had to get it off...

poor baby. sincerely

[Ken Burch]

14. Does this end up involving a sledgehammer?

:scared:

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. Speaking strictly in terms of bloodless cost/benefit analysis

Worth the risk!

:-)

[lunatica]

23. "If you're having acrobatic sex…you do have to be careful...of fracturing the penis."

I don't mean to laugh, but... acrobatic sex? :rofl:

[On the Road]

46. Mathematical Sex Might Do It, Too

[Bigmack]

28. Mine must have been broken some time in the past....

.... because it's got a "limp" sometimes now.

Thangyaverahmuch... I'll be here all week!

[Auntie Bush]

31. Is that where the name Bigmack comes from?

:rofl:

[Little Star]

29. Ya learn something new everyday! n/t

[Lucian]

30. Nah. Not karma.

Just sex in bad places.

[gkhouston]

32. Wouldn't karma for a cheating husband actually be

finding out that his paramour is cheating on him? :shrug:

[Hassin Bin Sober]

34. I knew a fundy who thought breast cancer was retribution for "wicked" women.

[Sal Minella]

47. I wonder what he would make of the fact that four percent

of breast cancer deaths occur in men. (This was several years back -- the statistics may have improved since then due to earlier diagnosis in men, most of whom wouldn't believe that lump and/or bleeding could possibly be breast cancer.)

The "wicked" concept fits right in with the fundies' belief that the rich shouldn't be taxed because God loved them enough to make them rich, and the poor shouldn't be helped because God is using poverty to punish them for something-or-other.

[liberalhistorian]

35. I wonder what the female equivalent

is for cheating wives/girlfriends??? Inquiring minds want to know.

[seabeyond]

37. being hte fair and balanced kinda gal i am, i was thinking about that myself. nt

[krispos42]

39. having to explain to your white husband...

...how you (also white) have an baby with distinct non-white features?

[krispos42]

38. "We now go live to Ted Stroehmann. Ted, what's your opinion of this?"

[Riftaxe]

40. +100

For all of us boys who have zipped up to fast at least once :)

[edbermac]

41. Penile fracture? Do they put it in cast or something?

[Warren DeMontague]

48. Yes! Karma! Yippee! I also laugh and cheer when women who cheat are 'punished' with painful lifelong

debilitating injuries!!! :woohoo:


...:eyes:

Karma. Pfah. Bad Karma is celebrating other peoples' misfortunes.

If they're cheating on their spouse, a reasonable 'punishment' is divorce. No one deserves to be physically maimed.

[seabeyond]

52. i agree. but then i didnt write the title or article.

i suspect when it is a title that women disagree with... we would get your standard comments about swooning.

[Warren DeMontague]

54. Here's a deal. Next time there's a thread full of men cheering for the permanent injury or maiming

of women who cheat on their husbands


let me know. I'll wait.

[seabeyond]

57. really? do you see a thread full of women cheering for the broken dick?

cause i only saw on that threatened the same to the mate and a lot of empathy or wow... didnt know this from most of the females in the thread.

[Warren DeMontague]

58. "cheering for the broken dick" ... it sounds like a college football team mascot

that'd be sort of funny, actually.

but since you asked:

I think it's great, I'd do it myself:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=2031558&mesg_id=2031621

so funny, we should make it worse:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=2031558&mesg_id=2031623

most hilarious thing I've read in ages:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=2031558&mesg_id=2031634

funny woo-hoo, ha ha:

[seabeyond]

60. laughing is not cheering. and talking about previous experience is not cheering either

and there have been many many many threads men laughing at women in sexual content and again i will state, you would be the first there with swooning couch.

[Warren DeMontague]

61. Well done. Honestly, if you hadn't used that or something similar as a retort

I would have been deeply disappointed in you. :hi:

Still, and here's the difference: the sex, sexuality, porn and nudity threads you're talking about ARE NOT ABOUT INJURY, temporary or permanent.

If people were laughing, chuckling, or talking enthusiastically about women getting HURT, then there would be a shitfit, and rightly so.

The problem is, apparently, for some people-- women having sex IS the same thing as women being injured, damaged, hurt or oppressed. That's the only explanation I can come up with that makes any sense.

[CTyankee]

68. Well, women have had unplanned pregnancies and/or contracted STDs

from extramarital affairs, so there can be some consequences (I don't think karma is the word, tho) to that activity. If a person makes that choice, there could be bad outcomes and so the male or female who chose the course of action can indeed suffer. This is why we try so hard to teach our kids about making "responsible choices" in life...

[Warren DeMontague]

70. Yes. But I'd be surprised to see a thread full of laughing and cheering for, say, women getting STDs

...C'mon. The point I'm making is crystal clear, and not that complicated.

[U4ikLefty]

49. la la la la la

can't hear you ;)

[U4ikLefty]

50. ...and another thing. Why capitalize "Broken", but not "penis" ???

[Mnemosyne]

51. Friend's BF sprained his once. Seemed to hurt like hell, but really didn't want to know details.

And I never knew those things could break either! I get such an education here at DU. :rofl::evilgrin::hi:

[krispos42]

62. Well, anything stiff can be broken.

It's the polar opposite of "flexible", remember. Now, I've never broken mine, but there have been times where the compressive stress spiked rather abruptly. ;-)


Men can cramp up in the pelvic area, which is probably the "sprain" you're talking about. There's no muscle in the johnson, ergo no way to get a sprain.

[Mnemosyne]

69. True, lol. Thanks for explaning though,about sprains. Once again, I learn so much here! n/t

:hi:

[Strelnikov_]

56. Jesus, I thought this was just a myth

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penile_fracture

[cleanhippie]

63. So whats the karma for cheating wives?

:shrug:

[tblue37]

64. This was a _Grey's Anatomy_ episode. Dr. Mark Sloan's beloved member

was broken while having a passionate secret affair with Meredith Grey's younger sister Lexie.

[flvegan]

65. Karma?

Did you miss where you also posted "sex that occurs out of the norm circumstances" etc?

I mean, I get that you hate men. Okay, no biggie. But don't be stupid about it. Agenda and all aside.

[seabeyond]

72. did you miss, i did not write the title nor the article?

"Did you miss where you also posted "sex that occurs out of the norm circumstances" etc?"

i don't get this question.

"I mean, I get that you hate men"

you would be wrong, but dont let that get in your way of making accusations.

be stupid about what? it is an article from msnbc. we dont post articles we see on msnbc? what is your agenda?

[seabeyond]

73. dupe

[Major Nikon]

74. Makes you wonder...

how much traction someone would get here if they posted an article reporting genital warts is karma for cheating women.

[seabeyond]

75. fuck that shit. all the time, there are articles with titles insulting to women that are

put on du.

bitch to the author of the article. i didnt write about the karma bullshit. i copied and pasted.

though, not surprised at all if you wouldnt notice or even called to your attention, you wouldnt care.

but, this one... oh the outrage. because it is about a dick, must hate men.

[Warren DeMontague]

76. the next time there's a thread full of hand-rubbing glee over women being hurt/maimed

you let me know.

[seabeyond]

78. talk to the FEW posters that thought it funny. i wasnt one of them. nt

[Warren DeMontague]

79. Look, I'm making you a promise.

IF that happens, I will chime in and call it offensive. Okay?

[seabeyond]

81. i told about the story of hubby getting caught in the zipper, and his mom had to undue

a painful and humiliating experience from his teen years. he is the one that will tell the story, .... and he laughs at the experience as we all wince at what he had to go thru. when he told me, all i could think is i hope, as a mom to two boys, that i will never have to deal with that one.

people may laugh at those experiences, but it is not really laughing at the person, i dont think.

i have not seen a lot of mean. i dont get the funniest damn thread, or laugh so loud hubby heard. not my type of humor.

i have thought of it every which way, and i cant come up with an excuse for it. but it is the few.

someone had a picture from wiki and it looks incredibly painful and awful.

the whole karma thing i thought stupid. when something isnt relevant i generally ignore. to me, that was a garbage headline title.

and this article just happened to be relevent to hubby and i the other night. i told him, i had never heard of such a thing. asked him, and he hadnt either. no more, no less.

[Major Nikon]

80. Who cares who wrote it? You posted it

You think it's acceptable if someone parrots an article by Pat Robertson saying AIDS is karma (or whatever the Christers' equivalent) for teh gays?

Expressing outrage for misogyny while simultaneously repeating misandry makes for an interesting case of hypocrisy, no?

[seabeyond]

82. then i will expect more of you the next article we see, instead of applauding the

sexism, you will of course, call it out.

what a treat that will be.

[Major Nikon]

83. Has nothing to do with sexism

and everything to do with hypocrisy.

I'm probably not going to complain either way, unless someone starts applying two different standards.

[seabeyond]

85. snort... ya, thats it. nt

[La Lioness Priyanka]

84. wish americans would stop using karma as though they understood what it means

[petronius]

86. Perhaps you are not aware, but we USAmericans have an absolute right to coopt,

distort, simplify, caricaturize, or plunder whatever religion, cosmology, philosophy, cuisine, art, language, fashion, or music that we choose. That's in the Constitution, or the Bible, or somewhere. Sorry... :shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

88. lol

:hi:

[McCamy Taylor]

87. YOu have to have a bone or tooth for a fracture. That is a sprain or maybe a tear.
