A Brit has been left with a permanent erection after a sex drug was injected directly into his penis.

Danny Polaris has spent the last two weeks in hospital in agony after making "one of the worst decisions" of his life while partying at a club in Berlin.

The jazz singer and sex columnist was on a night out with friends when he was persuaded to try the performance enhancing drug by a nurse he went home with.

He told PinkNews : "I didn't want to do it to start with, but I consented. I thought, why not, what could possibly go wrong?

"It's one of the worst decisions of my life."

Danny woke up the next day to discover his erection hadn't gone down, but put off seeking medical attention to take part in Berlin Pride with a wine cooler wrapped around his penis to try and reduce the swelling, Wales Online reports.

A day later, the erection became even more painful and he was taken to hospital "screaming in pain".

Since then, he has been diagnosed with priapism and a number of extremely painful treatments have been tried to reduce the swelling.

This has included driving needles through the side of his penis five times a day, pushing a plastic nail down his urethra without anaesthetic, and emergency surgery involving taking a vein from his leg to draw the blood away.

He has lost so much blood, he required a transfusion.

Despite this, Danny still has an erection two weeks since the injection and remains in hospital on blood thinners.

He said: "Some days I wake up and I just cry about how stupid I was, about what I've lost, about what's going to happen to me.

"I don't know how much it's going to cost to get my penis working how it used to be working.

"Sex is very important to me. I'm a sex writer, I write erotica and edit erotica. I need all the help I can get.

"I don't know what's going to happen in the future... will I have sex again?"

Danny now lives in Berlin, where he was on the night out.

A Go Fund Me page has been set up by a friend to help pay for his treatment and recovery costs.

But Danny, who is in an open relationship, is worried about the impact on that relationship.

He added: "This is a marathon, and it's going to take me a long time to recover.

"My advice to anyone with a penis is be careful when you take Viagra and don't let anyone come near your c*** with an injection because it's not worth it."
