Yes, it can. In extremely rare cases, Viagra may be associated with a very painful erection that is devoid of sexual pleasure. Known as priapism, this condition is a medical emergency and one needs to seek immediate medical help. The penis will remain erect and be painful. The color of the penis may range from dark blue to dusky brown. Priapism when not treated can lead to permanent damage to the penis. Therefore, you need to rush to the emergency center. Treatment varies but can involve surgery and/or medications.

I am 22 and have a problem with premature ejaculation. Does my race have anything to do with this embarrassing problem?
Premature ejaculation is a common problem in men of all ages. Because the disorder is often not reported, surveys of premature ejaculation reveal a falsely low prevalence. Almost all males report of having had an episode(s) of premature ejaculation at some point in time. However, the sensitive nature of the disorder means all data are underestimates as most men are unlikely to brag about this ailment.
Most data falsely indicate that the disorder is common only in Caucasians. However, because of cultural values, social taboos and lack of medical access, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians are under-represented in most studies. Anecdotal reports indicate that premature ejaculation is present in all cultures and communities. As men start to come out of their closets, it is becoming realized that premature ejaculation is much more common than previous estimates.

Can one get an erection by shocking the penis?
Millions of men suffer from inability to have an erection. While Viagra has helped some men, the medication is expensive and is associated with some side effects. Now some researchers say that shocking the genitals can help one achieve a sustained erection.
Preliminary studies from Israel indicate that shockwaves directed at the penis may help some men achieve an erection. These researchers noticed that animals administered low intensity shock waves developed more blood vessels in their penis and started to hump more energetically. More fascinating is that when they administered shock to volunteers at different locations on the penis, similar results were obtained. After 300 shocks (administered twice a week), some men had satisfactory erection and there were no negative side effects.
