AN ADVENTUROUS lover has been rushed to hospital after ‘breaking’ his penis while attempting a daring new sex position.

The once-virile Vietnamese gentleman had his penis “broken at the joint” in an incredibly rare case which shocked medics at the hospital in Ho Chi Minh City.

While enjoying an energetic romping session with his girlfriend, the 59-year-old reportedly heard a deafening ‘crack’ before unimaginable pain coursed through his still-naked body.

Speaking with newspaper Tuoi Tre, Mai Ba Tien Dung from Binh Dan Hospital, revealed the unnamed man’s penis turned bright purple.

He said: “The organ was swollen and bruised, but also certainly broken at the joint.”

The poor man was rushed into surgery where a crack team of doctors worked tirelessly to stitch his penis back together.

There is still no confirmation as to what exotic sexual position caused the horrific injury.

Dr Dung insisted breaking the penis at the point where it is attached to the body is extremely rare and occurs at full erection.

He said: “Symptoms include a clear ‘crack’ that is accompanied by a sharp pain.

“Without timely surgery, the patient can suffer from a deformed and curved penis and erectile dysfunction.

“The case of this 59-year-old patient is rare, occurring only once out of a thousand cases of broken penises recorded in medical literature.”

‘Penis contusion’ occurs when the member is stuck with blunt force.

Earlier this year, former NBA star Dennis Rodman revealed he has broken his penis three times during sex.

In an interview with Vice magazine, the Chicago Bulls legend said that one lover thought she had killed him because of all the blood.

He said: “I was on a boat one time in Dallas, Texas and was out in the sun all day long, drinking, drinking, partying, partying then I was out for the night drunk as a m*********er.

“My girlfriend, we end up in the back of the boat in a big king sized bed.

“She loved sex and she said: ‘I think I’m going to try something different, go over there, walk over there’.

He added: “I said OK and she said ‘I want you to run and jump [on me]’.”

Rodman did as he was told but after diving on top of his girlfriend, he heard a crunching sound and saw blood everywhere.

He continued: “There was blood all over her and she was screaming and screaming ‘Oh my god he’s dead he’s dead, I killed him oh my God’.

“I said ‘no honey, I broke my d***’.”

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU’VE BROKEN YOUR PENIS?

While the penis does not have any bones to break, a penis trauma or contusion occurs when an erect penis is hit by a direct force.

An erection happens when blood rushes through the two big tubes in a penis causing pressure to grow, while making it hard and difficult to bend at the same time. If it experiences some kind of force, it can lead to a pressure overload and eventually, a rupture.

You will know almost immediately if you’ve broke your penis as you’ll hear a cracking or a popping sound, which is the tissue tearing. You will lose your erection and then swelling of a different kind will occur alongside bruising and lots of pain.

While embarrassing, you should probably head to your nearest hospital so doctors can confirm the fracture through a clinical exam. Men usually need to undergo surgery to repair the penile tissue and it’s important to go under the knife within three days of the injury to avoid further complications down the line.

But you shouldn’t worry too much as penile fractures are relatively rare, but it pays to be aware of the sex positions which put you more at risk, including when the woman is on top.
