A man snapped his penis in three places after it slipped out and buckled against his partner during lovemaking.

It was reported that he heard a loud ‘snap’ after his penis hit his partner’s perineum at ‘very high’ impact. The perineum is the skin between the vagina and anus.

The 36-year-old Tanzanian showed up at the hospital with a painful, swollen, and bloody member.

Medics operated on him to patch up the “extremely rare urological emergency” and he fully recovered.

His penis ‘slipped out, lost the way and hit the female perineal area as he was trying to re-insert it’, the medics wrote.

He quickly lost his erection and was in agony.

The patient took himself to a nearby health centre. He was given painkillers and referred to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre.

How to prevent penis fracture

The trick to stopping penile injuries is to thrust quite shallowly, according to sex expert Tracey Cox.

Holding your partner close to you using a grinding rather than thrusting motion will also reduce the risk.

How it happens

A penile fracture occurs when the appendage is subject to a sharp, blunt-force trauma. This can occur during vigorous intercourse or masturbation.

Since 1924, 1,600 cases have been recorded worldwide. This is roughly 16 instances per year. 

Also, researchers noted that in 50 percent of cases, a gruesome cracking sound can be heard. Four in five male victims lost their erection.

Those who have already been traumatised from breaking their penis are often left with erectile dysfunction problems and a lifetime of painful sex.  MailOnline
