Penile fracture results from direct trauma to the erect penis. The classic scenario involves a couple having sexual relations with the partner on top, and the body weight is placed downwards onto the penis. Other mechanisms that have been described include anal penetrative intercourse, aggressive masturbation and rolling over onto an erect penis during sleep. In certain ethnicities, the practice of "Taqaandan" (purposeful forceful bending of the erect penis during masturbation) can be the cause.
