'It went black'
An Australian porn star has spoken out about the excruciating moment he broke his penis live on set.
Liam Ellis was in the throes of passion on set with one woman and another man when the incident happened.
Speaking to
Daily Mail Australia, he said: "Basically I was having sex at the time... and it slipped out and I was still in motion and I wasn’t lined up.
"That caused my penis to bend and tear, resulting in a penile fracture."
While Ellis said it didn't hurt at the time, the damage soon reared its ugly head.
"My penis swelled up straight away and after a few hours it went black from bruising," he explained.
Ellis had to undergo surgery to correct the workplace incident and is now back on the mend, although he is understandably concerned he "might never be the same again".
"I'm worried it might be one of those things that once you do it, it might happen again," he said.
Ellis went on to reveal he plans on being "cautious" in the bedroom moving forward, before revealing the one positive thing to come out of the life-changing experience.
"I got a free circumcision out of it, which is something I've always wanted," he said.
According to NHS figures, the sex-related injury
isn't as uncommon as you might think.
Stats show the number of surgeries on people who have injured their penis during sex is up by 37 per cent year-0n-year.
Professionals had to fix a whopping 169 fractured todgers in the year up to last April - 46 more than the same period the year before.
Experts are scratching their heads over why the sudden increase might have occurred, with some saying it could be a result of more men using Viagra to up their chances of performing.
The majority of procedures are being carried out on men in their 30s, even though two people in their 70s also had painful problems last year.
To fix the penis it has to be cut to enable medics to stitch the tear.
According to London-based consultant urologist Gordon Muir, such breaks can take place during romps when the penis comes out but gets bent when it attempts to re-insert.
He said this can commonly happen when the woman is in an "on top" position.
