    God we had one of these question boxes at my school back in the day, and I put in my question, “Why is it dangerous to have an erection that lasts longer than than four hours?” — and the teacher decided not to answer my question, and instead read the question as, “Is it OK to have an erection at school?” and answered that question instead. And when I realized that he’d changed my question, I just said out loud, “That wasn’t my question!” and reiterated what I’d asked — and the teacher acted all dismissive, like my actual question was just some crazy weirdo shit and I was dumb for asking it.

    So I thought that was a fucked up thing to do, 'cause it would’ve taken so little to just say “I can’t answer this” or “I’m not familiar with this”. Changing a student’s question is a complete violation of trust, and making a student publicly come forth with its actual question, only for the teacher to outright ridicule the question, is downright insulting. For some students it would even be humiliating.

    There’s honestly a good number of teachers I had where I still feel bad about how shitty I was to them. Like I can recognize that I wasn’t in a good place mentally, but I should not have taken my problems out on those teachers, 'cause they were nice people who did their jobs well, and I have much to thank them for. But the teacher I had for sex ed on that day? Fuck him! Frankly, I should’ve focused all my jerkass energy on him alone. He got off way too easy for that stunt.

    This was like a decade ago but apparently I still have a grudge about it.

      Belatedly, it’s because the spongy tissues of the penis are filled with blood when a one way valve on the veins leaving the penis shuts, trapping blood in the penis. After 4 hours this trapped blood can become hypoxic and tissue damage can occur.

        And the technical term for this is priapism! Named after some Greek fertility god who always walked around with his fat cock hanging out. I learned about this on my own when browsing Wikipedia a while after that incident, and I remember being kind of underwhelmed, like the answer to my question was so simple that my teacher really should’ve just known about it to begin with.

        Incidentally, I think that incident was related to the laws on direct-to-consumer advertising. I believe I’d recently been in the USA at the time, and had seen a Viagra commercial on TV while there, which of course included that iconic line “call a doctor immediately if you have an erection lasting more than four hours” — meanwhile in Norway, direct-to-consumer advertising is banned, as it is in every country except the USA and Aotearoa. And this would then mean that whereas “4 hour erection = medical emergency” is a part of the sort of collective cultural awareness of the USA, thanks to these commercials; in Norway you’d presumably only really hear about priapism if you’d personally been prescribed medicine for erectile dysfunction (or otherwise were just particularly interested in the human body, or particularly tuned into the USA’s pop culture).

      Sex Ed Question #5: What happens if the cool boys pee on me holding an egg

      Good question. What happens is that the cool, masc boys of the school will learn what an obedient sub boy you are. They’ll invite into the locker room after practice, and make you blow them one by one. They’ll take you to rugby matches and your job will be to care for their equipment and bottom during half time.
