SHOCKING: Man has permanent erection after doing THIS...

A 21-year old Iranian man has a permanent erection after getting his penis tatooed. Ouch!

The man apparently suffers from priapism, a condition in which an erection not caused by sexual stimulation lasts over four hours. The man's penis became semi-erect after he apparently bled from tissue deep within the organ.

He decided to pay doctors a visit after the erection hadn't gone away for three months. After ruling out a urinary tract infection, leukemia, and other causes, doctors said that the tattoo was likely the culprit. They believe the handheld needle used to create the design may have been inserted too deeply.

The doctors determined that blood was still flowing in and out of the man's penis -- which is known in the medical community as nonischemic priapism. Essentially, blood is entering the penis faster than it can go out, leaving the penis permanently erect as a result of increased pressure.

Doctors recommended a shunt procedure to drain excess blood, which unfortunately did not work. Since the man can still have sex and isn't in any pain, he does not want to undergo any more procedures.

Two questions crossed my mind after reading about this story:

1. Has the guy sued the tattoo artist? I am not sure if clients are required to waive their right to sue for negligence before the work begins, but gee...I really feel for the guy!

2. What in the world does he do to cover up that erection? I can only imagine his wearing several layers of clothes and taking other drastic measures to conceal this.

Now, I know everyone is going to start throwing puns at me like we did for the woman who wanted to have sex with a tree. The floor is yours. Here's one to break the ice: This must be "hard" on the poor guy.

This will spell the end of your relationship

When asked to think about the most common culprits for a relationship's going south, most people will point to cheating, complacency, and taking one's partner for granted. While these are all valid -- and documented in various posts on this blog -- there are certain habits on the part of partners that may not kill the relationship right away, but cause it to erode more gradually. Among the most egregious of these is expecting your significant other to be perfect. They pick at your follies any chance they get. Nothing you do is ever good enough. In fact, you will never measure up to an ex, neighbor, or accomplished co-worker. Perhaps this all sounds a bit familiar. When you feel as though you're constantly being put under the microscope, it can inflict lasting damage on the relationship and your self-esteem. You're walking on eggshells all the time, praying you don't say or do something that's going to trigger your partner. This is no way to live, let alone ca

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n

Misconceptions about quiet people

Earlier today, I came across a Facebook page that features motivational quotes intended to improve people's moods and enhance their overall self-esteem. Interestingly, I noticed two quotes that focus specifically on quiet people: "Be afraid of quiet people; they're the ones who actually think." "The quietest people have the loudest minds." I've observed that most people's views of quiet individuals can fall under one of two categories: 1. The ones who say quiet people are antisocial, suspicious, snobbish, and/or full of themselves. 2. The people who say their introspective nature and propensity to be deep in thought makes them smarter than their more garrulous peers. The quotes above speak to this mindset. As an introvert known to be quiet at work and at social functions where I might not know anyone, I feel I'm well positioned to dispel any inaccuracies surrounding quiet folks. First of all, the above statements misguidedly put
