Beware the Boner Mosquitoes
It’s just the latest thing trying to kill your sex life
Guys, you’ve got to be careful out there.
Because it seems like a lot of things are coming after your dick these days.
The big one’s still Covid. I don’t know if you remember this, but there were reports of Covid infections making it tough for guys to get hard.
And even after the acute infection is gone, the ED has a habit of sticking around.
Then there’s the wildfire smoke and air pollution that’s messing with your heart. And anything that affects your cardiovascular system is going to drain some of the stiffness from your man meat.
On top of all the things trying to make your dick soft, now you have to worry about it getting too hard.
Because apparently there’s a rise in dengue fever down in the United States. Only about 1,000 cases a year so far, but that’s ten times higher than the rates from a few years ago. And because mosquitoes transmit dengue fever, the risks get higher the warmer it gets.
And it’s been warm enough that I saw mosquitoes in December.
In Canada!
Those little buggers are getting past the Northern border, trying to get at our Northern boners.
Around Christmas, no less - one of the sexiest seasons.
Anyway, the reason it’s bad news for your stiffie is because there’s now been a case of dengue fever causing a persistent erection. 18 hours, to be precise.
Which is a long-ass time. I’m not even awake for 18 hours on any given day, let alone having my blood go to the wrong extremity.
There Is Such a Thing as Being Too Hard
I know that getting a hard-on that won’t quit doesn’t sound that bad, but it really is.
Not just because it could be embarrassing to have your rod bulging at the front of your pants while you’re pumping gas or meeting with your kid’s teacher. It’s bad on a physiological level too.
First off, it can hurt.
Some persistent erections don’t, apparently. But some do. And having pain in your groin for 18 hours is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies.
Well okay, maybe some of them can have the groin pain. They deserve it.
But you don’t, so I hope you never have to suffer through it.
When you’re stiff longer than a few hours, the blood in your junk is going to run out of oxygen. That’s when it starts causing tissue damage and could cause erectile dysfunction.
Yep, we circled right back to ED.
After suffering through a dick that won’t soften even though you really want it to, you might be left with a dick that won’t stiffen back up - even though you really want it to.
Protect Your Dick
Look, I’m not saying that you need to be hard to have fun.
You can have a great sex life even if you’re soft for most of it.
But it’s an adjustment. And being able to get hard does give you more options. It makes fucking a little more straightforward, you know?
And being sick can just ruin your sex life in general.
I’ve been chronically ill my whole adult life, and I don’t have nearly as much sex as I want because of it.
The brain fog and the other nonsense have pummelled my libido. When I do get horny, sometimes I barely have the energy to do anything about it. And sometimes I spend too much time in bed to get excited about doing anything else in it.
It sucks and I don’t want it happening to anyone else.
Sex and masturbation are some of the only decent things in this life, and you should avoid anything that makes it harder to enjoy them.
So, do what you can to keep your dick safe. Protect your health. Mask up. And I guess watch out for the mosquitoes that are coming for your hard-on.
