Bionic Penis Requires a Two-Week Erection<\/figcaption><\/figure> Question: Would you rather have erectile dysfunction for two weeks or a two-week erection?<\/p>\n

Even for men with erectile dysfunction, having a two-week erection just sounds, well, painful. But for UK resident Andrew Wardle, the two-week erection will be worth the pain because it means his bionic penis is finally working.<\/p>\n

An erection 40 years in the making<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wardle, who was born without a penis, has been waiting his whole adult life to get an erection and have sex, and his girlfriend of four years, Fedra Fabian, is ready to finally consummate their relationship.<\/p>\n

It took more than 100 surgeries, but doctors were able to use skin, muscle and nerve grafts from Wardle\u2019s arms, along with cylinders that fill with fluid pumped from a sac in his scrotum, to build him a functioning penis.<\/p>\n

The process will start in the hospital, where doctors will essentially have to flip the switch and monitor Wardle for three days. After two weeks of being homebound (so as not to go out in public with a giant boner), Wardle and his girlfriend will be able to test out the robo-penis.<\/p>\n

For the first nine months of their relationship, Fabian had no idea she\u2019d one day be waiting for her boyfriend\u2019s penis to arrive. She didn\u2019t know that he never developed a penis\u2014until she read it in the newspaper.<\/p>\n

Second fiddle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wardle isn\u2019t the first man to receive a bionic penis. A British man named Mohammad Abad, who lost his penis when he was run over by a car as a child, had the technology put into his body in 2012, though it took years to actually work.<\/p>\n

Unlike Wardle, Abad decided to lose his virginity to a famous dominatrix and later said he wants to date a sex robot. They\u2019re details that anger Wardle, who argues that the taxpayer-funded operation shouldn\u2019t pay for Abad to sleep with a prostitute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
