A daredevil lover snapped his penis after falling from a branch while trying to have sex in a tree.

The nature lover went out on a limb when he asked his girlfriend for a treetop sex session.

The pair - who were only on their third date - started getting busy on a branch.

But the half-naked man, known only as Erik, had to move because he was getting a splinter.

And their outdoors action ended in disaster when he lost his grip and hurtled down to earth.

Erik said: "My hands slipped and I came tumbling down.

"I ended up getting skinned really good and I hit the ground."

Erik didn't realise what had happened at first - it was girlfriend Salina who spotted his penis was bleeding.

She told him his "package" looked like it had "sprung a leak".

Salina said: "He was laying on the ground and there was blood all over his leg.

"I was concerned about his penis.

"I was concerned about his well-being too but every woman wants to make sure a guy's functionable."

The pair got dressed before making their way to an American accident and emergency unit.

Erik has made a full recovery, while Salina says she now hates nature.

Their story was featured in Sex Sent Me To The E.R. which showed on cable channel TLC.

The bizarre series also featured the story of the 440lb man who hospitalised his girlfriend and the woman who was taken to A&E suffering from a three-hour orgasm.
