Electric shock to the penis may cure premature ejaculation, claims study

Doctors used an electrical current to activate a man's dorsal penile nerve, one of the nerves that gathers movement and sensation information from the penis

According to a recent study, premature ejaculation could be remedied with a physical shock - in the form of a simple zap! After receiving electric-current therapy, doctors in Lebanon were able to assist one guy to last about seven times longer in bed.

Doctors in Beirut used an electrical current to activate a man's dorsal penile nerve, one of the nerves that gathers movement and sensation information from the penis, according to a recent study published in the Asian Journal of Urology. The case study examined a 28-year-old patient who had failed to respond to medication. The patient had been in a relationship with his girlfriend for a year and would come 'nearly every time' after only 40 seconds of intercourse.

Zapping therapy

The anonymous man was given zapping therapy three times a week by inserting electrodes into his penis for 30 minutes of continuous current. Two electrodes were implanted on the surface of the man's penis whenever he underwent zapping therapy. Over the course of six months, he completed the procedure, which involved three 30-minute sessions per week in which he was exposed to a constant current. Apparently, there was no mention of whether the treatment was painful or unpleasant in the study.

The man measured his intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT), that is the period from vaginal penetration to ejaculation, with a stopwatch during sex. His IELT was 40 seconds before the procedure. His average IELT had risen to around three minutes and 54 seconds by the end of the six-month experiment. Even after six months of treatment, this therapy showed 'instant improvements' and continued to help the man's sexual stamina. The individual spent an average of 4.9 minutes in his bedroom fifteen months after starting the therapy.

Excessive masturbating side-effects

A Japanese man almost died from masturbation after suffering a life-threatening stroke just moments after ejaculating, according to another horrific example. The anonymous 51-year-old guy was stated to be in the habit of masturbating many times a day, according to a medical case study published last year in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases. Unfortunately, his habit resulted in a potentially fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage, which occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures.

After climaxing, the male, who prefers not to be recognized (for obvious reasons), experienced severe migraines, followed by bouts of vomiting. Concerned for his health, the guy went to Nagoya City University Hospital, where doctors performed a series of tests. He had low blood pressure and was confused, they discovered. The man's diagnosis was verified by a CT scan, and he was treated immediately after.

Twitter reactions

Many people, especially the men, have posted hilarious and sarcastic comments on Twitter regarding this study. One person wrote, “Can confirm that this works. Stuck my p*nis in an electrical outlet last year and now I last for hours,” while another said, “Don’t do it, don’t even think about it guys.” Another person wrote, “going to try now on my wall socket....” while another said, “Just stuck my p*nis in the wall outlet. I didn't end well.”
