round trip on a motorbike.<\/p>\n<p>The male claims the ridge-like seat he had to use has left him in this condition, which is now into its 20th month.<\/p>\n<p>Known as priapism, it means his erect penis has failed to return to a flaccid state even after ejaculation.<\/p>\n<p>In the lawsuit Wolf v BMW, the man is looking for lost wages, medical expenses, emotional distress and general damage to make up for the misery he has suffered.<\/p>\n<p>This persistent and painful erection may have caused him a few problems, but it is undeniably a funny story.<\/p>\n<p>It must make the trivial aspects of life &ndash; such as going to the shops for groceries or paying his bills &ndash; very hard indeed and I hope for his sake it gets sorted soon.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Trevor Smith&nbsp;<img
