PS
Prolonged, painful erection of the penis is called Priapism in medical literature. Priapus was a God of Greek Mythology. He is depicted in drawings and statues as having a permanent erection.
The medical condition is caused by clotting of blood inside the venous compartments of the penis. The blood has gone in and made the penis erect for sexual activity but is unable to find its way out. The answer was to puncture the penis with a large bore needle and wash out the clots. The penis can be made to shrink. Unfortunately in quite a few patients impotence results.

It was in the late 1990s that I saw this patient. Viagra was available illegally in Sri Lanka in the late 1990s. This chap, a businessman, had been told that one had to swallow a tablet of Viagra one hour before the expected intercourse. He had bought TEN tablets of viagra at Rs.990/= each. Then the comedy started. One hour before he went home he took a tablet. When he reached home the wife was all dolled up ready to go shopping. He had to post-pone the sexual encounter. He did not tell the wife that he was experimenting this new drug. Just before they left the shopping mall he took one more tablet as two hours had elapsed after he took the first one. Then they met a friend who dragged them to a birthday party which lasted for three hours. Our friend swallowed a third tablet, just before leaving the party. When they reached home the businessman was in full form and ready. They got down to business and he performed well. They kept repeating the sex act but the penis remained erect and was getting painful. Then only they realised that something was wrong and came to the hospital for treatment.

Man with
'agonising' 17-hour erection claims he had three pints of blood drained from
his penis (and 24 injections)
PS
I have seen a similar case in the 1970s in Kandy in the pre-Viagra era. They used an ointment called 'Spanish fly' to stimulate an erection. Treatment was the same.
Nurse heroine slept with Nazis to give them STDs.
Locals in the south Bohemian
town of Trebon said the nurse, who worked in a local hospital, decided to get
revenge on the Nazi invaders after she was raped shortly after the occupation
in 1938.

Is a £1 tub of baking soda the only house cleaner you’ll ever need?
Bicarbonate of soda is often overlooked but it could solve no end of household tasks from cleaning bracelets to school shirts and dirty mugs you thought were past saving.

Al Maari, 11th Century, Aleppo, Syria.
email from Dawood
Al Maari. 11th century Syria
An Atheist a Vegan a
philosopher and Poet who lived in 11th. Century Aleppo Syria ,
His name was Al Maari.
The following are a
small sample from. His poetry.
If an insolent man
thrusts a sword of speech against you,
Oppose him with your
patience, so you may break its edge.
Victory
If time aids
thee to victory,
he will aid
Thy foe anon to take a
full revenge.
On abstaining from
meat
You are diseased in understanding and religion.
Come to me, that you
may hear something of sound truth.
Do not unjustly eat
fish the water has given up,
And do not desire as
food the flesh of slaughtered animals,
Or the white milk of
mothers who intended its pure draught
for their young, not
noble ladies.
And do not grieve the
unsuspecting birds by taking eggs;
for injustice is the
worst of crimes.
And spare the honey
which the bees get industriously
from the flowers of
fragrant plants;
For they did not store
it that it might belong to others,
Nor did they gather it
for bounty and gifts.
I washed my hands of
all this; and wish that I
Perceived my way
before my hair went gray!
Soften your tread. Methinks the earth's surface is but
bodies of the dead,
Walk slowly in the air, so you do not trample on the
remains of all who trod before thee!
