    You should never fell embarrassed to talk to your doctor, they are there to provide the medical care you need.

    It’s just another day for them is all it really is.

      True, but when you already know what the doctor will suggest and don’t have $250 to pay the copay, it makes it far easier to justify.

    I broke my penis masturbating when I was a kid. There was an audible snap and it had an offset in the middle like you see on a road after an earthquake, was constantly weeping blood from the opening, and hurt like hell.

    I wrapped that sucker in toilet paper daily and carried on, never told a soul.

    Edit: apparently, I was lucky https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/sexual-health/expert-answers/penis-fracture/faq-20058154

      I will eventually unclench after reading this, but I doubt it will be soon…
