We experienced with 3 cases of penile fractures for recent 2 years, one occurred during masturbation and the others occurred during coitus(one case was associated with urethral injury). While the former was treated with conservative management, the latters were treated with surgical intervention that was immediate removal of hematoma and primary closure of ruptured corpus cavernosum. Penile deformity end decrease in rigidity occurred in conservatively treated case. However, two cases of immediate surgical treatment had a excellent result without complication. Even though we describe only 3 cases and could not compare the degree of injury. our short experiences suggest that immediate surgical intervention is better than conservative management in initial treatment of penile fracture.

Most foreign bodies in the lower genitourinary tract are self-inserted through the urethra for masturbation. It can be diagnosed by clinical histories and physical examinations of the patient, endoscopy and radiologic evaluations. Extraction should be tailored as the surgery, endoscopic manipulation and dissolution according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimize bladder and urethral injury. We report a case of a long wire in the bladder and urethra with brief review of literatures.

This study was designed to evaluate the clinical manifestations and results of operative treatment in penile injury during erection. We reviewed 18 cases of penile injury during erection from December 1992 to June 1996. Of 18 patients, 14 patients were treated with early operation, 3 patients with conservative treatment and followup was 1 to 31 months (mean: 14.1 months). Patients age ranged from 23-76 years old (mean: 39.6 years), common cause of the injury was sexual intercourse (8 cases), masturbation (3 cases) and finger-pressure (2 cases) in order. Of 8 patients who occurred during sexual intercourse, 7 patients were married. The injury developed at midnight in 8 cases (44%), early morning in 7 cases (39%) and the other times in 3 cases (~7%). Of 14 patients who received with early operation, 13 patients revealed rapture of the corpus cavernosum and 1 patient revealed rupture of superficial dorsal vein. The site of penile fracture showed proximal shaft in 8 cases (62%), midshaft in 3 cases (23%) and distal shaft in 2 cases (15%) in order. The overall complication rate of early operative treatment was 15% (2 of 13 cases) compared to a complication rate of 100% (2 of 2 cases) for conservative treatment. In conclusion, our experience demonstrates that the most common cause and site of penile injury are sexual intercourse and proximal shaft, early operative treatment would be an effective treatment of penile injury to prevent complications.

An anorectal foreign body can cause serious complications such as incontinence, rectal perforation, peritonitis, or pelvic abscess, so it should be managed immediately. We experienced two cases of operative treatment for a self-inserted anorectal foreign body. In one, the foreign body could not be removed as it was completely impacted in the anal canal. We failed to remove it through the anus. A laparotomy and removal of the foreign body was performed by using an incision on the rectum. Primary colsure and a sigmoid loop colostomy were done. A colostomy take-down was done after three months. The other was a rectal perforation from anal masturbation with a plastic device. We performed primary repair of the perforated rectosigmoid colon, and we didea sigmoid loop colostom. A colostomy take-down was done three months later. Immediate and proper treatment for a self-inserted anorectal foreign body is important to prevent severe complications, and we report successful surgical treatments for problems caused by anorectal foreign bodies.

Foreign bodies in the genitourinary tract are relatively common, and almost of them are discovered within the bladder. We had experienced a patient and report herein, who had a plastic tube in the bladder, introduced through urethra during masturbation. The size of the tube was 110cm in length and 0.5cm in diameter, and it was easily diagnosed by history, symptoms, simple KUB, cystoscopy, and was removed by foreign body forceps under the cystoscopy.

This study examined the masturbatory experiences and other sexual activities of young Korean males in military service. The actual status of masturbation and its relationship to sexual activity questionnaire. A total of 1,212 young males among military personnel in Korea were interviewed with sexuality questionnaires on masturbation, sexual intercourse and personal characteristics. We divided these subjects into four groups according to the age of initiation of masturbation and analyzed the relationship between masturbation and other sexual activities. The mean age of subjects was 22.03 +/- 1.22 (19-27) years. The percentage of men who reported ever having masturbated was 98.1% (1189/1212) and the average age of initiation of masturbation was 14.26 +/- 1.66 years. So we divided 1,212 males into four groups on the basis of the average age below and above one standard deviation. Overall, 67.7% (821/1212) had experienced sexual intercourse, and significantly, the earlier the initiation age of masturbation, the higher the coitus rate in each group (p < 0.05). About 21.5% of the men who were not virgins had experienced their first sexual intercourse with prostitutes. The mean age of first coitus, the incidence of sexually transmitted disease (STD) and the frequency of masturbation were closely linked to the initiation age of masturbation, respectively (p < 0.05). A masturbatory guilt feeling was seen in about 10.9% (132/1212) and there was no significant difference according to the types of religious worship (p = 0.227). On the basis of this study, sexual activities generally increased accordingly as the beginning of masturbation was earlier. Coital incidence in this study was 67.7% for young males in Korean military service, and 21.5% of them had their first sexual intercourse with prostitutes. Prostitution still plays an important role in the sexual lives of males in Korea. The incidence of STD was over 10% and homosexual manifestation was seen in 1.07% of subjects. Thus a proper and sound sex education at school during childhood is needed in Korea. A large scale survey of sexual behavior in various populations is essential for the improvement of correct sexual concepts.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to test the validity of hypothesis that the index finger and ring finger ratio (2D:4D) is related with men's semen quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We set two groups of healthy young male student (mean age 23.9) who have different 2D:4D ratio from different departments of Chosun University. One group consists of 26 men whose 2D:4D ratio is higher than 1 (mean 1.06), and the other group consists of 33 men whose 2D:4D ratio is lower than 1 (mean 0.94). Their semen was collected by masturbation and examined. RESULTS: A comparative analysis revealed that there is no relation between semen quality and the 2D:4D ratio. The group of 2D:4D> or =1 showed a semen volume of 3.66+/-1.64 ml, on the other hand, the group of 2D:4D<1 showed a semen volume of 3.73+/-1.40 ml. No statistical correlation was found (p=0.82). The view of sperm count and motile sperm in single ejaculated semen also showed no statistically significance with 2D:4D ratio (p=0.84, p=0.43, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The 2D:4D ratio has no statistically significant correlation with the semen quality of health young male. Thus, measurements of finger length cannot be a reliable indicator of semen quality and testicular function.

Most foreign bodies found in the bladder are inserted through the urethra. Abnormal psyche senility, inebriation, and eroticism are the most frequent causes for such induction. The following is a report of a male who slipped Nylon silk into the urethra during masturbation and lost it in the bladder while attempting to remove it.
