A story seed for you all

After reading this account of a scientific conference, I wish to apologise for some of the times I have judged Literotica plots as "absurdly unrealistic":

In 1983, at the Urodynamics Society meeting in Las Vegas, Professor G.S. Brindley first announced to the world his experiments on self‐injection with papaverine to induce a penile erection. This was the first time that an effective medical therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED) was described, and was a historic development in the management of ED. The way in which this information was first reported was completely unique and memorable, and provides an interesting context for the development of therapies for ED. I was present at this extraordinary lecture, and the details are worth sharing. Although this lecture was given more than 20 years ago, the details have remained fresh in my mind, for reasons which will become obvious...

Some 40 years ago I was hired to teach at a community college, and assigned a course in race and racism. Among the students was a young man, a founder of a local white supremacist group, who, naturally, argued for racial superiority at every turn. It was amusing to use him as a foil to disprove the standard racial myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes. Things came to an impasse in the next to last class of the term.

The young man declared that I was Jewish. I indicated I wasn't. He pointed out that I was an Anthropologist, and thus must be Jewish. I explained that some, but not all, Anthropologists are Jewish and that not all Jews are Anthropologists. His next proof of my "race:" I was from New York City. Again, I similarly explained that some New Yorkers are Jewish and that some Jews are New Yorkers, but that it wasn't an identity relationship.

"You're an Anthropologist from New York. You're Jewish," he insisted, despite my objections. Being the good scientist that I am, and recognizing the need for observational proof, I stepped up to his desk and offered as I gripped my zipper, "I'm not Jewish. Do you want to see?" He responded by leaping from his desk and running from the classroom, unable, I presumed, to face the truth.

Colleagues have asked me if I would have proceeded with the demonstration if needed. I've always been a firm proponent of experiential learning. Lab and field research are necessary for knowledge.

I can't imagine anyone today holding on to a career after something like that.

I like the article's description of that lecture as "paradigm-shifting." It certainly was.

It’s a good story

Where did he inject?

Times like this, I wish this forum had an option to upvote posts.

Where did he inject?

According to the article: in his hotel room, and in his penis.

And some found my story Randy's Revenge (The Pharmacist) fantastic. Ha! The plot device there of a genital-enlarging injection came directly from underground comix circa 1970, so Prof. Brindley was a latecomer, as it were. Or maybe he was also inspired by the same comix. Coincidence, or... ??

Personally, I'm glad it's a Pill for the afflicted these days.
I wouldn't fancy the idea of self-injection.

The article fails to inform us whether or not the erection lasted for more than four hours, or what happened if it did.

It this critical to the story you plan to write? I'm sure you could just fabricate the details. Were I to write a story from there then the medication wouldn't take effect until the woman stroked it in.

Hell, I could get four chapter out of a four hour erection!

 

[Hypoxia]

Hell, I could get four chapter out of a four hour erection!

Only four?

Chap 1: Before
Chap 2-5: The four hours
Chap 6: After

Then the quarter-hour spinoffs and half-hour replenishments. Not to mention the repeated lubrications.

The plot bunnies runnth wild.

A guy hobbles into the ER and up to the front desk.

"Who do i see about one of those erections over four hours?" He asked the head nurse.

"How big is the problem?" She asked in reply.

When he opens his robe, every eye behind the reception area is on him. Every eye is wide and most mouths are hanging open. The head nurse looks around and grins. "Sorry ladies, but I'm pulling seniority on this one."
