Difficult, intractable, tortu(r)ous.

Holy Shit!

The most disturbing paragraph I’ve read this week is as follows:

The first treatment for ischemic priapism is “therapeutic aspiration.” The urologist sticks a needle into the side of the penis and draws blood directly from the cavernosa. The same needle is sometimes used to inject saline solution into the penis, which can help flush out the remaining blood. Aspiration and irrigation work around 25 percent to 30 percent of the time. Doctors can also inject drugs that constrict the arteries and cut off penile blood flow. Injections are given every few minutes for about an hour.

So it looks like your “minor complications” from Viagra and the like include blindness and sharp steel. The male wang is a delicate thing; I think I’ll take my chances with nature. If the issue ever, erm, fails to arise, that is.
