As this is a serious medical subject, I am not sure if there is room for such a section. However, if not deemed inadequate, Priapism is mentioned jokingly in the movie [[Dreamcatcher (film)|Dreamcatcher]] as well as the novel [[Dreamcatcher (novel)|Dreamcatcher]] by [[Stephen King]].

Deletion of a line
Should all else fail, complete removal of the penis is necessary. This can't be true! is there any source information to back this up? This line should be removed if false as it can cause some men to worry about a non existant threat. --DragonWR12LB 07:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- Please review Penectomy; it is true. Jerry 03:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Looks like there is confusion here...
"...does not return to its flaccid state (despite the absence of both physical and psychological stimulation) within four hours." Then Followed by, "Priapism is a medical emergency and needs proper treatment by a qualified medical practitioner."
A few paragraphs down under "Treatment"...
"...if the erection has been present for six hours, it is essential to contact a medical practitioner."
I think this needs some clarification... :: Colin Keigher 01:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
Images
I removed few pictures of classical paintings and sculptures of men with an erection as not being "depictions of Priapism" - unless you have evidence that is what the authors of the work were representing - it is much more likely these were simply pieces of erotic art. An appropriate image for this article would be something from modern medicine specific to priapism. -- Stbalbach 13:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
