When the United States toppled the dastardly Soviet Union hockey team to secure the gold medal in the 1980 Winter Olympic games, announcer Al Michaels uttered the phrase, “Do you believe in miracles?” The US victory was a moment many never thought they would see and a moment they wouldn’t soon forget. Coming out of a pandemic, we thought we had seen as many medical miracles as we were going to see in this lifetime. Then, a man broke his penis vertically. We once again believe in miracles.

Per Gizmodo, “A broken penis, or penile fracture, is more accurately described as a tear starting from the tunica albuginea, the protective layer surrounding the erectile tissue that pump blood to the penis. The reason why it feels like a broken bone is that most injuries happen during sex, when a fully erect penis is bent too far and/or with too much force and buckles under the pressure, which then causes blood in the penis to leak out. When that happens, it’s almost always accompanied by a loud popping sound along with quickly formed bruising and swelling, again much like a broken bone.”

Doctors say the man’s private parts could look “noticeably different in presentation”, He just needs to be thankful that he still has it attached to his body.
