Man sues BMW over painful two-year erection

Henry Wolf, San Francisco Man, Sues BMW, Claiming Ride Gave Him Two-Year Erection, if you've watched television at any point over the last decade or so, you're probably familiar with the warning that comes at the conclusion of commercials for erectile dysfunction remedies advising gentlemen using the drugs to consult a doctor if their erections last longer than four hours.
But what if you had an erection that stuck around for considerably longer than that--say two years--and it arose not after taking a pill but following a motorcycle ride?

That's precisely what San Francisco resident Henry Wolf alleges happened to him. Wolf is suing both the bike's manufacturer, BMW of North America, and the company that made the bike's after-market
seat, Corbin-Pacific Inc., in a civil suit filed last week in San Francisco Superior Court.
In his lawsuit, Wolf claims he was cruising on his 1993 BMW motorcycle equipped with a Corbin-Pacific seat on two back-to-back two hour rides and, immediately afterwards, was stricken was a severe case of priapism (a.k.a. "a persistent, lasting erection") allegedly caused by "the ridge-like seat on his motorcycle, negligently designed, manufactured and/or installed by [the] defendants."
He took the ride in question on May 1, 2010 and has had the painful condition ever since.
The suit argues that Wolf "is now unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish." He is suing for personal injury, lost wages, product liability and emotional distress.

According to Automotive news blog Rushlane reports, this is not the first time motorcycle riding has been linked to such problems. However, in most cases it has been seen that there may be a direct link between motorbike seat design and problems regarding infertility and impotency. Vibrations caused by the bike coupled with configurations of the seat are said to be the crux of the matter. As reported by Huffington post.
