A 34-year-old man claims he only has 100 orgasms left before he’s going to permanently lose the ability to get an erection, thanks to a rare erectile dysfunction condition.
“I have a finite amount of real, working, orgasm-capable erections remaining,” the man, who goes by the initials R.L.S., writes in to the website BroBible. “They estimate I have about a hundred [orgasms] left.”
R.L.S. says he suffers from a rare disorder called idiopathic fibrosis.
“Basically, there’s a reservoir in your penis that fills with blood when you have an erection,” he explains. “In my case, every time I get hard, it causes an autoimmune reaction, which causes a scar tissue build-up in the reservoir. Ultimately, the scar tissue will make it impossible to ever get a boner again.”
How about we take this to the next level?

R.L.S. says he was “blindsided” by the diagnosis, saying it completely changed his life in an instant.
“It’s like hearing you have six months to live,” he writes.
R.L.S. wrote to BroBible hoping someone — anyone — could help shed more light on his condition. Therapy and medication, he says, had not helped and that he’s been traveling through the five stages of grief. Though he has accepted his fate, he noted that he still isn’t entirely sure how to cope with it all.
“Masturbation’s obviously out of the question,” he says. “And lately, I’m terrified of sex itself.”
R.L.S. confesses that the last time he had sex, he almost had a meltdown.
“I burst into a cold sweat and my chest felt like it was gonna cave in on itself,” he writes. “Since then I’ve been chaste as a fucking nun, but I toss and turn all night with crazy, disturbing sex dreams, and now I’m worried that I’ll lose a nut to a wet dream.”
The 34-year-old says he hopes to embark on a “farewell tour” before losing the ability to orgasm ever again. We wish him all the best.

Not to throw fuel on a house that’s already burning down, but wouldn’t it be 100 erections- not 100 orgasms- until he’s no longer able to have an erection? You don’t orgasm every time you have an erection, and you get several a night, even if you don’t have a wet dream.

How horrible. Clearly life wouldn’t be worth living anymore afterward…
Why is everyone so damned sex obsessed nowadays?

Sex erections only make up a tiny fraction of all erections. A man has between three and five half-hour-long erections every night while asleep. So if this guy is accurate and not exaggerating, he has about a month left before it is all over.

Saying that it’s like having “six months to love” does seem a little out of proportion, but we all value different things. If his thing was sex, then his is a disaster. A violinist might have some adjustment problems to losing a leg, but losing a hand may as well be the end of the world.

Wow, my typos today, “six months to live*” and “then this* is a disaster.”
Stache99
Well, if he’s gay then all he has to do is bottom it up.

I honestly felt empathy until the part where he said he felt like he heard he had six months to live. I suggest he actually meet some people with six months to live to get some perspective. I went from empathy to outright disdain just based on his own words
jwtraveler
This sounds like a joke.

@Theonewhoismany, well, not being able to have sex is a terrible thing, so I think one should be a little forgiving towards the guy for being a little depressed.

In retrospect, actually this does kind of sound like BS. “Idiopathic” just means his Fibrosis is without explanation. If this is real, he ought to be more concerned he will develop it in parts of the body more commonly known to have Fribrosis. Like- oh, I dunno- the lungs?

@level75RDM: Actually, I thought your ‘six months to love’ comment was quite apropos!

He needs to have a “Bucket List of the 100 People He Wants to Fuck Most” and have the Make a Wish Foundation schedule them.

This guy is full of shit. The body would not have an autoimmune response to erections, and he’s confusing erections with ejaculations. Regardless, from what I can tell, there is no idiopathic fibrosis, but there is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which is scarring or thickening of the lungs without a known cause.
I would suspect that if he already had thickening or scarring of the erectile tissue, to the point that a doctor would have been able to diagnose it, then he would already have erectile dysfunction. Also, since when would a doctor look at your erectile tissue during a routine physical?
He also has some of his facts goofed up, in his letter on BroBible. There is no erectile reservoir, there’s erectile tissue, like spongy tissue. It’s not a big tank that fills with blood. You can get scarring in that tissue which usually results in Peyronie’s Disease, or a crooked/bent penis.
If, indeed, this did happen to him, after this arbitrary number of erections or ejaculations, they could perform ED surgery on him, using either the bendable wire method (I can’t remember the name) or the inflatable saline balloons.
But I’m calling bullshit on the whole story. Do a Google search for “idiopathic fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa” and the only stories you’ll find are his.

Does he not know a product call Aneros? Stimulation of prostate still give pleasure and orgasm.
Kangol
He should have an endless amount of orgasms left, but not erections. But this raises the question of whether the scarring will also cause problems with him having to pee. That sounds an awful problem as well.
mbfmark
Maybe he should explore the erotic pleasures of anal stimulation/expansion/insertion. There is plenty of range there to keep him going if an when the erections stop. Erections are nice, but sex can be so much more!

Having had 55 cd4 cells, I take great offense to his claim that it is ‘like’ having six months to live.
Plus, the ‘science’ or rather, lack of it, is just downright stupid and makes zero sense.
Boners happen whether you want them or not and happen multiple times a night. If so, he’s got a month maybe left regardless of sex. All boners are capable of orgasm and a boner is not even required for orgasm.
Fake claim, bad fact checking… but hey, it’s everything I expect from Queerty.

In a nutshell, “feel sorry for me because I won’t be having sex anymore”? NEXT!!!!!

@GayMafiaKingpin: It’s just a sign of the times. People are going out of their way online for 15 minutes of fame(or infamy by trolling) and it really makes no sense why they care or want it so bad.
“Social media” has basically turned Americans into a bunch of toddlers.
