These 15 People Went to the ER Because of Sex. Here Are Their Stories

Sex is a beautiful thing… but it can also get pretty freaky.

People on AskReddit shared their stories of sex gone wrong and they are pretty entertaining and also a little bit frightening.

Maybe these stories will make us all take a vow to never have sex again…

1. It’s broken

“Not a patient but an ER doctor. Have seen several injuries / sexual misadventures.

Common things: items stuck up people’s butts. As I tell everyone after I (or the OR) get it out, I don’t care what you stick up your butt, but use something with a flange at the base. It acts as a stopper and prevents it from getting sucked up (and stuck up) your butt.

More rare: broken penis. The post by E-man below is fairly on point.. Blood vessels rupture and the penis fills with blood and looks almost exactly like an eggplant. Once you’ve seen one, you know what happened. I don’t fix those, those go see urology and go to the operating room. Not fun.”

2. Ouch

“I’m uncircumcised, and I tore my frenulum having sex with a girl one time. It’s the little flap of skin that attaches the bottom of the foreskin to the bottom of the head of the penis. I looked down and saw it and just awkwardly said “Uh… Problem.” “

3. Broken brain

“First beej off a girl I was dating. I don’t normally like them too much (I mean, they’re nice and all, but not my go-to request) but this one was great. Get close to the end, past the point of no return, and my head exploded. Tried to hide it, but I literally couldn’t see or move. That lasted close to a week.

Worst part is, I really liked her but she got too freaked that she’d broken my brain with her magic.”

4. What’s up, doc?

“Was the doctor, not the patient.

You know those erectile dysfunction treatments that used to be on billboards all over? “LONGER SEX NOW,” etc?
Well, as is often joked about, those treatments advise you to go to hospital if it lasts longer than 4 hours. Guy came in, having used those treatments, having had an erection for maybe 6 or 8 hours. His penis was purple.

We called the urology registrar (read:resident) to ask him to come and look, and for advice on what to do in the meantime. His answer?
“Take a large gauge needle on a big syringe, suck out as much blood as you can.”

Then my shift ended. I did not stick around to watch that one.”

5. Brain drain

“After doing the deed I had a MASSIVE headache that was like a bomb going off in my head. Wife rushes me to the ER thinking I have busted a brain vessel and having a stroke. ER basically says it happens a lot. Just kept me for observation than let me go when I could see straight again. Has never happened again.”

6. Good ol’ Doug

“Doug was my fourth year college roommate, along with a couple of other people. He was a strange fellow. I became accustomed to broken beer bottles in the floor, bizarre pornography in the VCR, feces in places you wouldn’t expect it, and frequent visits by the cops and to the emergency room.

One night, Doug is being visited by his girlfriend from out of town. They spend most of their time tucked away in Doug’s bedroom, doing God-knows-what. Doug sneaks out and doesn’t return for several hours. When he comes back, he has an emergency room bracelet on. After some grilling, he gives up the story:

He and his girlfriend are looking for something that might work as a makeshift penis ring. Nothing around except a large padlock. So, she snaps the padlock around his manhood. When it becomes clear that it isn’t going to work like they thought it would, they go looking for the key. Nowhere to be found (most of us would have thought about the location of the key before putting it around our junk).

So, Doug heads off to the emergency room to get it removed, afraid of losing his giblets to restriction of blood flow. The procedure takes several hours because the doctor has to parade in every other doctor, nurse, intern, and possibly janitor to check out the moron with the padlock stuck around his testes. Also, they have to take frequent breaks during the “sawing off” due to the heat that keeps accumulating from the friction and burning.”

7. Horrifyingly painful

“Was doing the deed, no thrills nothing fancy. Afterwards we’re sitting on the couch and I feel crampy, so I go into the bathroom, and I sit. That’s when I have the most painful cramp of all time. My boyfriend comes in to see me full blown hysterical tears, calls my mom whose an ER nurse who’s motto as a child was “no bones sticking out or gushing blood? You’re fine.” She drives down immediately and takes me to the ER.

That’s when I panic, because if this cold hearted ER Nurse thinks I need to go pronto it’s serious. When we get there it’s slow enough that I pretty much immediately see a doctor…who just happens to be my mom’s favorite coworker. Awesome. I then try to explain why it hurts and how it happened when my mom blurts out”she was having sex.” The doctor didn’t flinch much, but I sure did. I wanted to die! Thankfully the embarrassment didn’t last long because they gave me amazing pain killers.

Long story short I had sex, had an ovarian cyst burst, horrifyingly painful, went to be ER doctor and my mom were buddies. Good times.”

8. Egos

“Few years ago with an ex-boyfriend of mine. We were fooling around and ended up banging my wrist really hard on the head board. It immediately started to bruise and I was scared it was broken. We ended up in the ER and I was asked all kinds of questions like did I feel comfortable going home with him, did he hurt me, did he hurt my wrist.

I wasn’t expecting that, at all! They separated us at one point to ask me more questions about how I got hurt. Which was super embarrassing to try and explain. I’m pretty sure he was scared to be too rough with me after that, and I don’t blame him. Nothing was broken just our egos.”

9. Cyst

“I had really terrible cramps a few times after sex, enough that I had to take pain pills just to sleep. The pain was gone in the next morning both times, and weirdly it didn’t happen every time we had sex. I went to the gyno and even had an ultrasound done, but no one could see anything.

Fast forward a few months later. One night my boyfriend and I got kind of drunk while watching Bay Watch (more like Bae Watch, amirite, Rock Bottom) and decided to keep a good night going with some tipsy sex.

The cramping started midway through and didn’t let up. Within minutes I was crouched naked on the toilet (no idea why I thought it would help) and couldn’t move. My boyfriend called an Uber in lieu of an ambulance. I managed to get myself dressed despite puking every few seconds into a plastic mixing bowl. The poor driver didn’t want to take me, since he probably thought I was drunk, and sat there arguing with my boyfriend that I needed an ambulance. I blurted out “get me to a hospital NOW” and he slammed on the gas. That argumentative angel got me there in less than five minutes.

It turns out an ovarian cyst had burst and torn my uterine wall, so I was bleeding internally. I had to have laparoscopic surgery to remove and cauterize the cyst. Those little b*s are no joke. My only regret is never learning what size fruit or ball I could compare it to. I’m also eternally grateful to my boyfriend to being too tired for tent sex the week before or I would have been bleeding internally at the far end of the Grand Canyon.”

10. Good thing you were the DD

“I had to drive a friend to the ER after he broke his penis during a house party. I was already the scheduled DD for my friends and apparently one of them snuck off with this girl. They were doing the good ol’ reverse cowgirl like any other young bucks would and she ended up zigging where she should’ve zagged and kinda did a 90 degree body torque.

To his explanation, it sorta just “popped” and he threw her off him and screamed bloody murder. He tossed on some shorts commando style and told me to drive him to the hospital like now. Drop what I’m doing, get in the car you’re the only one sober, let’s go, let’s go. Oh and the girl came along. Her name was Amanda and she was pretty chill.

So it was me driving two barely clothed 20 year olds in my car to the local hospital twenty minutes away with my dude holding his penis in the backseat and Amanda just consoling him rubbing his back making sure he’s okay. Telling him, “It’s going to be alright, you’re gonna be fine.” like he hadn’t just fractured his penis.

So, we make it to the ER and he just hobbles in and says he broke his penis, please fix it. And they took him in and I was just alone with this girl I had met that night just waiting for the prognosis. And around an hour later they tell us that he’s having emergency surgery because he suffered a_”severe penile fracture and tore his urethra aswell.” And basically told us to go home, call someone to pick him up that night.

Dude was under the knife and discharged the next day, penis intact and pride only somewhat. Oh and I also had to call his parents to let them know that their son was having emergency penis surgery and to pick him up in the morning. Could/could not be a fun call at 12 at night depending on the perspective. They ended up dating for a while after that too.”

11. Trim your nails

“Not the ER but I did end up at my gyno the next day after I got my clit sliced by someone’s too long fingernail. PSA: please keep your nails clipped and filed.”

12. Don’t stop

“My wife had just had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst, so after a week of abstinence we were having sex. I felt like I hit something wrong, but she said to not worry about it. Fast forward a couple of hours, and she’s in a lot of pain. She thinks there might have been a complication with the surgery and us having sex might have caused something bad.

Off we go to the ER, one ultrasound later, the doctor tells us that she had a bruise on the inside of her vagina. I remembered the “Uh oh”moment, and I asked her about it. She said “Well, it did hurt, but I didn’t want you to stop.”

Oy vey.”

13. Don’t do that

“I’ve seen the “broken penis” four times, twice THIS YEAR strangely enough. Also had to give a few too many intracavernosal injections of neo for priaprism.

Things inserted rectally that cannot be removed at home. We had a guy who would put toy cars, coke glass bottles, and later a clearly canadian bottle because he was excited it was back on the market.”

14. This sounds pretty popular

“While having a day shift, we were called a older man was brought in with a big whiskey glass up in his bum. The doctor had to do a laparotomy, and removed his lower intestines.”

15. A life saver

“I’ve told this story a few times. A sex injury literally ended up saving my life. My best friend at the time and I had a few drinks and tensions had been there between us for a long time. She invited me back to her room and tackled me onto her bed, where I hit my head hard off the bedpost. The next morning concussion symptoms started hitting me very heavily so I went to the ER.

On my CT scan they told me “everything looks normal except for your old brain trauma.” (I have never had brain trauma). About a month later it is diagnosed as a brain tumor that I was not showing symptoms for yet. Had surgery a few weeks later to have it removed and at that point found out it was non-cancerous.”

These 10 Tips Will Get You Through a Day in High Heels

It’s no coincidence that the words ‘heel’ and ‘hell’ are so similar (ok, fine, it was probably a linguistic accident – whatevs). Even the cutest pair of high heels can wreak havoc on your feet. And if your line of work requires them on a daily basis? Well, then, you definitely need to employ these hacks to get through your day.

And if you’re just dreading donning a pair for a weekend wedding, these will help you, too.

 

#10. Put your shoes in the freezer.

For added comfort, stuff them with a bag of cold water first, but either way, leave them for at least 30 minutes. The cold material will adapt to your warm foot instead of the other way around.

#9. Tape your toes together.

Specifically, your third and fourth toe, where nerve pressure can build up and cause pain.

#8. Break them in.

Wear cotton socks dipped in hot water to break in your shoes around the house. It will help them stretch a little and not be so stiff when you step out.

#7. Don’t take them off.

If your day isn’t over, don’t give in to the temptation of a five minute break. Your feet will most likely swell within minutes, making putting them back on a painful – or even impossible – task.

#6. Grab some double-sided tape.

Use it to stick your foot to the bottom of the shoe, making sure that your foot doesn’t do the slipping and sliding that can cause blisters and toe pain.

#5. Have your deodorant do double duty.

You can roll it on to your heels, toes, or anywhere else you experience painful chafing during the day.

#4. Invest in insoles.

If you’re going to be wearing heels on a regular basis, investing in keeping your feet healthy is the way to go. These little socks, typically made from silicone or fabric, provide much-needed support and protection.

#3. Move around.

If your feet are killing you, get up and walk. You can also sit down, but standing still in your heels is almost as bad as taking them off.

#2. Keep emergency supplies in your purse.

Bandaids, roll-on chafing blockers, liquid bandage, mole-skin, or even an extra pair of insoles – there will come a day when you’re not sorry you have them along.

#1. Use hydrating cream.

If you lather up before putting your heels on, it can help save your feet from rubbing, pain, and blisters, especially if your heels are new and still stiff.

Meet the 17-Year-Old Girl Who’s Training to Be One of the First People on Mars

“Daddy, I want to be an astronaut, and be one of the people that go to Mars.”

Meet Alyssa Carson. Ever since she was 3-years-old, she knew she wanted to be an astronaut. There’s nothing too unique about that. Most kids have grandiose dreams of growing up to be cowboys, astronauts, and everything in between. So, when she said that, her parents probably smiled and nodded, thinking that their daughter would change her mind about her future career fifteen times before choosing one, but in their case, they were wrong.

By the time Alyssa was 16, she had witnessed 3 Space Shuttle launches, attended 7 Space Camps and 3 sessions of Space Academy, and completed Robotics Academy. She’s the youngest graduate ever of Advanced Space Academy and has also finished several Sally Ride Camps.

Alyssa wasn’t done, either – she also attended space camps in Turkey and Canada, making her the first person ever to attend all three NASA Space Camps around the world.

Which is all to say…she’s not changing her mind.

And her parents aren’t the only ones who have sat up and taken notice – in 2013, NASA invited her to be on the MER 10 panel in Washington DC to discuss future missions to Mars on live NASA TV. Later, they selected her to be 1 of 7 ambassadors representing Mars One, a mission to establish a human colony on Mars by 2030.

Now, Alyssa is part of the Advanced Possum Academy, which makes her certified for space missions and an official astronaut in training.

Photo Credit: Facebook

The 17-year-old from Baton Rouge keeps up with her studies – including learning 4 languages – in addition to her astronaut training. She’s also an active public speaker and hopes to interest others in space exploration.

“Always follow your dream and don’t let anyone take it from you.”

Will we see Alyssa Carson on a manned mission to Mars in 2033? Only time will tell, but if she has anything to say about it, there doesn’t seem to be any doubt.

This Couple Might Have to Get Divorced to Afford Their Daughter’s Healthcare Costs

Here’s a story that truly captures just how weird things can get in 2018: two happily married adults are considering a divorce just to pay for their daughter’s rising medical costs.

Jake and Maria Grey have two daughters, and the six-year-old, Brighton, was born with a rare genetic disorder called Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. What it means is that she’s essentially still a newborn and requires round-the-clock care that is costing the family at least $15,000 a year out of pocket. Hence, they’re considering a divorce, which would mean Brighton would qualify for Medicaid and get the care she needs – for less money.

Jake is an army veteran and the couple have private insurance, but the bills are just too high. He told Today,

“It’s drowning us to try to keep up with her medical expenses. We’ve done everything we can do to try to keep her afloat, and we’re going to reach a point where we can’t do it and we won’t have another option. We don’t know what to do.”

Currently, they make “too much” for their daughter to qualify for Medicaid, but if they divorced, Maria would be a single, unemployed mother-of-two, which would mean the girls would have access to that coverage.

The Greys are happy and would otherwise not be contemplating divorce, but as every parent knows, when it comes to the kids, we do what we have to do – and Maria says they are no different:

“We promised to each other and to her that we’d do whatever we could do to make her life, however long she’s going to be with us, as good as possible.”

Good luck to them, and to all of the parents of special needs kids who are struggling out there.

Your Dog Can Sniff out a Bad Person… It’s Science

Has your canine companion ever had a bad hunch about someone? We’ve never been quite sure how dogs have an innate ability to sniff out trouble… until now!

A recent study shows that dogs can and do analyze a person’s reliability!

Photo Credit: Pixabay

The researchers were out of Kyoto University in Japan, and designed a 3 part experiment that would tell them whether or not a dog would trust someone after they lied to him or her.

First, a person would point to a container with food, and the dog would go to it. Next, they would repeat the gesture, but toward a container without food. When the person who had previously lied about food pointed again, the dogs – not one of them – went to the container.

What does it prove? Well, that dogs prefer to be certain about the humans in their lives, and in the world in general, according to the Animal Cognition Journal. 

Photo Credit: Pixabay

They prize reliability in people – and not only that, previous research shows that dogs will avoid or snub people who are rude to their owners. So, if your dog wants nothing to do with that new guy or girl you bring home, well…maybe you should listen.

The software to create…

The software to create the black hole in the movie ‘Interstellar’ is a full implementation of Einstein’s equations in 40,000 lines of C++, and rendered thousands of 23-megapixel IMAX frames on a 32,000-core render farm at about 20 core-hours per frame. 00
