Like a column collapsing under the burden of a heavy roof, erectile dysfunction is a classical mechanical engineering problem, says a US urologist. Using mathematical models of penis geometry and hydrostatic pressure, doctors can predict when penises will fail and in which vagina he says.
The most widely investigated parameter of penile rigidity is intracavernosal pressure (ICP) the fluid pressure achieved by blood build up in the two expandable "caverns" of the penis. For a healthy man, the erect ICP is between 60 and 90 millimetres of mercury (mmHg), but can drop to just 30 mmHg, in men with erectile dysfunction (ED).

Each was measured by slowly injecting their penises with saline solution until erect
This is why I won't volunteer for medical research.

Since the article seems to rely on “applied force versus resistance” for the theory, I don’t think she really qualifies as a “buckling” impediment.....;-D
[good grief...that was absolutely filthy on *so* many subliminal yet dryly technical levels]

“Now scientists have figured out the chemical that seems to be responsible for the penis boost.”
But have they found a guy who’s insane enough to test it?

Maybe we should ask Rosie O’Donnell since she is now an expert on structural engineering.
