Felt Something Strange

I got this story from Doc at Far From Perfect. It's about a man whose penis exploded while he was making love to his girlfriend.

Ilarie Coroiu was taken to hospital in the Transylvanian town of Cluj after his girlfriend, Magdalena, 18, "felt something strange" and noticed that the bed was covered in blood.

Dr. Angela Domocos, head of the accident and emergency department at Cluj General Hospital, said: "It is very rare for this to happen. We call it an exploded penis because it happens when the blood cavities in the penis burst."

Bed covered with blood ... Transylvania ... Coincidence? You make the call.

In all seriousness, I've heard of this from a friend who works in the medical field. Granted, it's rare, but it does happen and I was told it's usually referred to as a broken penis. I understand it's also extremely painful.

Really?
