Man Suffers Seven-week Long Erection

A 22-year-old Irish biker suffered a seven-week erection after he straddled his bike's crossbar - the section between the seat and the handlebars.

The man was unable to have sex as his penis refused to come in normal shape, said a report published in Irish Independent.
