A member asked:

Is it possible to actually break your penis when it is fully erect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Sneid answered

No: Since there are no bones in your penis, there's nothing to break -- although i suppose it could get ripped off if you were fighting a wild animal or an irate female.
