Putting Lead in Your Pencil

Add this to the "Failed Experiment" file.

From Ananova.com:

A Serbian man needed emergency surgery after sticking a pencil inside his penis to keep it stiff during sex.

Zeljko Tupic, from Belgrade, told doctors he had experienced erectile difficulties in the past.

So as he prepared for a night with his new lover, he decided to insert a thin pencil into his penis.

Tupic had to cut his sex session short when the pencil shifted and became lodged in his bladder, forcing him to call an ambulance, the daily Kurir reported.

In my opinion, this story was either misinterpreted or it's a flat fabrication. I do not, for a second, believe that a man would do what is alleged. Besides the obvious pain of trying this trick, any pencil thin enough to insert into the penis would also probably break with the slightest perpendicular force.

I think this report is likely a hoax.
