A PENSIONER who snapped his penis in two places while having sex was so badly injured that doctors described his member as "an aubergine-sized saxophone".

The 62-year-old, surnamed Liao, said he heard a "loud crack" during mid-romp at a motel with his partner, who had been on top during their steamy sesh.

Liao, who is from Taiwan, was rushed to a nearby hospital following the manhood mishap. Medics found he had fractured his old man in three segments, with the extreme swelling caused by the rupturing of the penis’ enveloping membrane, the tunica albuginea. "When he was admitted, his penis was already bruised and swollen due to the double fracture," said Doctor Kuo Chia-cheng, a urologist at the Feng-Yuan Hospital, Ministry Of Health And Welfare in West Taiwan. He added: "It was shaped like a saxophone and was the size of an aubergine."

Luckily for Liao, Doctors managed to mend the rupture and said the man will regain his erectile function with no long-term effects. While the man is said to be recovering well following the surgery, Doctor Kuo warned that men who experience the same injury should act fast. He advised the earlier the patient has surgery, the less likely they'll be affected by erectile dysfunction in the future. "Some post-surgery effects include irregular erections or a deformed penis, but the chances of that happening are quite low - roughly 3 to 5 percent," he said.

The phallus-fixing doc suggested that men who prefer to be on the bottom should be more careful with their ding-a-lings, as they are more likely to experience fractures. "All the penile fracture patients I’ve met suffered their injury during 'woman-on-top intercourse'," added Doctor Kuo. He also advised that men who believe they might have suffered the same injury should keep an ice pack on their penis before immediately seeking medical attention. Surprisingly, men snapping their trouser snakes isn't such an uncommon occurrence.

The 36-year-old went to hospital after suffering the eye-watering injury, complaining of swelling, pain and a "deformed" penis. However, not all men fracturing their manhoods are aware they've done any damage right away. In September, a 47-year-old man was reported to have fractured his penis during passionate romp with his girlfriend, but only noticed 12 hours later

Incredibly, he was able to continue having sex and maintained his erection - despite the injury usually leaving men in agony. Wondering how best to avoid a bend in the bedroom? Earlier this year, doctors revealed the top three most dangerous sexual positions for men. In a study called the “relationship between sexual position and severity of penile fracture”, specialists discovered that doggy style is the most dangerous – with 41 per cent of cases of penile fracture occurring because of this position. In at second was Missionary, with the man on top, causing 25 per cent of penile fractures – followed, in third place, by the woman on top.
