    Your friend either hasn’t told you the entire story or is lying. Viagra, Cialis, and other ED meds won’t cause your penis to burst - human blood pressure is insufficient to pop a penis like a balloon. What may have happened is a penile fracture, where the outer sheath of erectile tissue tears in response to physical injury. Typical drivers of penile fracture are situations that cause the erect penis to bend forcefully, such as falling on an erection.

    Taking ED meds without ED will just result in a very firm erection that will likely persist awhile after ejaculation.

      I would disagree as I have torn my skin without meds once even. I did not burst any bloodvessils, but at one point in my life it kinda went harder than ever before, rupturing my outer skin on the shaft and on the gland… It was no fun sight as it healed while peeling.

      If that can happen without any meds, I can surely believe it can on.

      I am circumcised btw.

          Well, not sure what you mean by that, but I think that wouldn’t rip the whole shaft’s skin, nor the exposed gland…

          I shedded like a snake… 😅

          That shit should be illegal. It’s insane that people are still allowed to do that to people who don’t absolutely medically require it.
