Yeah really, what a dumbass.

ommercials for erectile dysfunction medications like Cialis end with a warning that individuals should contact their doctor if they have an erection that lasts for more than four hours.

After 20 months, Henry Wolf decided to contact a lawyer instead, claiming that the seat on his BMW motorcycle gave him an erection lasting nearly two years. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Wolf filed a lawsuit against BMW North American and Corbin-Pacific claiming that the "ridged seat" on his 1993 motorcycle left him with mental and emotional anguish after allegedly causing an extreme case of priapism, also known as a long-lasting erection.

Wolf "has been experiencing continuing problems since his motorcycle ride," attorney Vernon Bradley of Sausalito wrote in the lawsuit, which was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco last Thursday. "He is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish."

Bradley said the alleged case of priapism began after Wolf took a four-hour ride on his motorcycle.

As those erectile dysfunction commercials so regularly note, priapism can technically be onset after just four hours and is generally considered an emergency medical condition. The condition is named after the Greek fertility god Priapus, who is commonly depicted as having an unusually large erection.

According to USA Today, Wolf is seeking monetary damages for lost wages, medical expenses, emotional distress and "general damage."

The All About Bikes blog notes that there have been several instances alleging erectile dysfunction as a result of narrow motorcycle seats but that this appears to be the first case where a medical condition with the exact opposite effect has been alleged.

Florida radio station WWJ Newsradio 950 spoke with Michigan Institute of Urology's Dr. Michael Luts who said there is "no medical data" to support Wolf's claim, again citing the evidence that riding a motorcycle for an extended period of time typically works against the body's ability to achieve sexual arousal.

"It's been long-known that compression of the neurovascular supply to the penis—if it's compressed for a period of time, whether it be on a bicycle seat or some other device—it can actually cause prolonged numbness of the genitalia," Lutz told the station.

I read that story in one of the L.A. papers this evening, CRAZY!

DEA "forgets" about student locked in cell for 5 days...handcuffed, no food or water. I think it's time to start the revolution gang, I'd like to take ALL these government agencies down.

I agree completely, SD, slowly our freedom is getting taken away.

It seems to be happening much quicker now. All this crap started originally with The Patriot Act, that opened a crack that has been exploited over and over again ever since.

Exactly, and it's been a snowball effect ever since. We are on the verge of collapse...

That's jacked up about the dude in the cell, our government does blow a major ass trumpet all over the people.

Oh but, damn where do I get one of those wonderful motorcycles? Bo yoing!

I don't know sounded like they made the right choice to me, men shouldn't marry men and women shouldn't marry women. Life is hard enough with out people getting there genders all mixed up and not knowing where there supposed to be in a relationship.

I think people should be allowed to marry whomever they are in love with, regardless of gender.

Same here... what's worse is I'm in NC. Needless to say, I'm pretty pissed at our backwards-ass redneck population.

Not something worth fighting over, all I can say is, to each there own. The whole world works on a system of "If it makes you feel good, do it" anyway.

So right, goish...but some of the kewlest people I know have an "alternative lifestyle".

Here's a good intelligent take on the subject from a pastor in North Carolina.

I don't want to start a big thing. It's just an issue that I'm particularly invested in

Great article, SD. I can honestly say that there was a time when I had a deep hatred towards not only people who live that way but just the idea itself but then you'd have to know certain things I went through as a child to see why I felt that way. Nowadays, even though it's not something I agree with I have, over the years, became friends with many lesbians and even a few gays, we all know where one another stand and make it a non issue. We have discussed openly where we stand but in the end still respect one another and I really value their friendship.

Don't worry about it Special Guest, we are all pretty respectful toward one another here.

I agree man, this is a damn good article good to know some people are doing there homework on the subject. I'm not saying being gay or lesbian makes you "unkewl" it's just that I don't agree with there lifestyle, but like I said "to each there own" just cause I don't agree with something doesn't make me a gay basher, it's just my opinion and beliefs, and everyone is different when it comes to that. Live and let live.

Everyone has the right to be whoever they want to be. No man has the authority to judge another based on their choices. As Gersh said...live and let live.

Let gays marry & share the misery. Only then will they learn that it's not all it's cracked up to be.

cool
