BALTIMORE — A new medical study has found men who have extramarital affairs might be risking more than just their marriage.
According to Dr. Andrew Kramer, a urologist with the University of Maryland Medical Center, men who have sex outside of marriage have an increased risk of penile fractures. Kramer said the study the university undertook found risk factors for penile fractures — also known as a “broken penis” — increase for men in unconventional situations and locations during sexual acts.
Kramer said many men in the study reported having sex in restrooms or at work, and that they were having an affair when the fracture occurred. Kramer studied 16 cases of penile fracture that were treated at the University of Maryland Medical Center between 2004 and 2011, reporting his findings to the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Kramer reported half of the patients studied were having extramarital affairs. Only three patients were having sex with their wives in their own bathrooms. According to Kramer, penile fractures are rare occurrences but are also underreported due to the nature of the injury.
