Call a Dr if you have an erection lasting longer than 4 hours...

You hear this warning on every ED advertisement. The condition is called priapism and can be dangerous. The thing that gets me is that it suggests that erections lasting up to 3+ hours are nothing to worry about, maybe even expected. Hah.

There ain't now way I would waste my time calling a doctor if it lasted over 4 hours. I'd be on the phone bragging to everyone I know.

My former partner who was of questionable sanity would take Viagra even though he didn't need it. We were such frequent visitors to the ER the doctor took me aside and told me the trick.

Simply describe in extraordinary gory terms what will happen if it doesn't go down. Mention blood spurting on the ceiling, scabs and whatever bullshit u can make up. It's such a downer the erection goes down like a flat tire
