Étude de cas d’aujourd’hui : Le prince Albert manquant !
Ce billet est spécialement dédicacé à MistaiR.
Malheureusement, mon université n’a pas accès au journal Obstetric Gynecology, donc cet article sera court.
Parmi les piercings génitaux chez l’homme, il y a le Prince Albert, il entre par le frein et ressort par l’urètre. Il peut entraîner des complications comme une gangrène de Fournier, des saignements post coïtal, des fistules et autres joyeusetés mignonnes.
Dans le cas présent, c’est un événement innatendu qu’on va découvrir, celui du Prince Albert manquant !
Pour faire très simple, un mec a un piercing Prince Albert à son pénis et couche avec une nana, quand ils ont fini, il ressort et il découvre que son Prince Albert a disparu ! Dans le genre “le vagin magique” c’est pas mal !
La grande question est, Mais où est Charlie le Prince Albert ?”. Les médecins cherchent dans le vagin de la nana, ils ne trouvent rien, par contre le piercing en métal est bien visible aux rayons X dans la zone pelvienne.
Comment l’ont-ils retiré ? Quel est la conclusion ? Je ne sais pas, je n’ai pas accès au journal. On se doute bien qu’ils lui ont retiré le piercing. On ne saura malheureusement pas comment, ni comment le piercing s’est décroché du pénis pour se retrouver aussi loin dans le vagin.
Si vous avez accès à la publication, n’hésitez pas à me l’envoyer!

Aujourd’hui, on va parler de pénis et plus précisément des blessures du pénis du aux braguettes et zips de pantalon (short etc).
Une étude épidémiologique vient de paraître sur ces accidents. Je vais vous la détailler.
La team qui a fait cette étude a récurer les données du National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) dataset en rapport avec les accidents du pénis à cause des zip, collecté auprès d’environ 100 urgences d’USA entre 2002 et 2010.
Ils ont étudiés 2695 cas de patient admis aux urgences pour cause de blessures au pénis et 523 cas pour cause de blessure au pénis du à un zip/braguette pour en faire une estimation nationale qui donne ceci :
- Entre 2002 et 2012, aux USA, une estimation de 81448 individus ont été admis aux urgences pour cause de blessure au pénis dont 17616 dûs aux zips et braguettes.
–> Étiologie : les blessures au pénis du aux zip sont de 21,6% des blessures totales du pénis.
Plus en détail, chez les adultes l’étiologie est de 29.8% (raison la plus commune des blessures du pénis) alors que chez les -18 ans, c’est 16.6% (raison seconde, la première étant du à des blessures d’écrasement (crush injury) à cause des sièges de toilette et ça correspond à 17.5%).
Heureusement, dans la très grande majorité des cas (98%) il n’y a pas eu besoin d’hospitalisation. Deux ont du subir une opération pour retirer le zip. Onze ont eu en même temps des abcès ou de la cellulite (Pas le gras ! Mais l’inflammation de la peau appelée celulitis en anglais).
D’autres données sympathiques à savoir. Donc les blessures du aux zips impliquent extrêmement majoritairement le pénis, ensuite vient le scrotum (1% des blessures dû aux braguettes). Concernant l’appareil génital féminin, c’est encore plus rare. Ils ont trouvé que 5 cas : 4 cas étaient des blessures sur les lèves lors de la fermeture de la braguette et le 5ème cas était du à une partie de la braguette qui s’est retrouver dans le vagin (utilisez des sextoys, ils sont fait pour ça !).
Le petit tableau récapitulatif avec les détails par groupes d’âge.
Que faire, si votre pénis reste coincé dans une braguette ? Allez aux urgences !
Sinon les méthodes utilisées sont : couper le vêtement autour des dents du zip, généralement suffit. (Ne vous coupez pas la bite!). Donc ça, ça marche si le pénis est coincé dans les dents de la braguette. Par contre, c’est plus délicat s’il est coincé dans la tirette. L’idée étant de dézipper avec ou sans lubrifiant (dans le doute, je conseille avec). Si ça ne marche pas, couper la bite, non je déconne, couper la tirette à l’aide d’une pince coupante ou essayez de la tordre, enlever les dents de la braguette un à un etc. Bon si vraiment ça ne marche pas, dans le pire des cas, faut couper et pas la braguette, au programme, circoncision (pratique si vous avez songé à en faire une, ça fait deux en un, rooh humour) ou une incision elliptique de la peau du pénis.
Bon sinon, avis purement personnelle, achetez des pantalons et jeans à bouton !

Cette décortication d’article scientifique va vous paraître glauque, surtout pour les hommes et il y a de quoi vu que je vais vous parler de gangrène du pénis et de masturbation.
Généralement la masturbation, masculine en l’occurrence, n’est pas dangereuse pour la personne ni pour le pénis et ne rend pas sourd non plus.
Sauf que voici un cas de Gangrène de Fournier (gangrène rare, généralement du a une infection synergique multibactérienne qui provoque une fasciite nécrosante des parties génitales. Elle touche principalement les vieux diabétique, alcoolique ou immunodéprimé) suite à de la masturbation excessive chez un type de 29 ans.
Le type s’est retrouvé aux urgences avec de la fièvre, vomi et myalgie diffuse. En plus il a des douleurs scrotales sévères, des gonflements et que ces dernières masturbations finissent toujours avec des érythèmes et écorchure du pénis.
L’examen révèle œdème, érythème, esquarres malodorantes du pénis. Ils ont trouvé, dans le sang, deux magnifiques bactéries à l’origine de cette gangrène : Staphylococcus aureus et Streptococcus pyogenes, donc il a été mis sous antibiotique. Après 22 jours d’hospitalisation, il a pu rentrer chez lui !
Là où ce cas est bizarre, c’est que ce type de gangrène n’est déjà quasiment pas prévisible chez un jeune adulte homme sain à notre période (hygiène de vie) alors encore moins que cela soit due à de la masturbation fréquente. Les cas de gangrène de Fournier, chez un homme sain, sont surtout dû à une inoculation bactérienne à cause d’injection de corps étrangers dans le pénis (autoérection, sadomasochisme etc), dans une moindre mesure, l’utilisation d’anneaux pénien peu dans de rare cas induire cette gangrène et nécrose du pénis, mais pas à cause de la masturbation en elle-même (du moins ultra méga rare).
La conclusion est que choper une gangrène de fournier et avoir le pénis nécrosant à cause d’une masturbation excessive ou courante est vraiment ultra extrêmement rare, mais ça peut arriver, la preuve avec ce malheureux jeune homme.
En conseil perso, si vous constater que votre pénis change ou réagis différemment (trop gonflé, trop douloureux etc…) par rapport à d’habitude et que cela empire au fil des masturbations, allez consulter un docteur, se serait dommage de se retrouver avec un pénis comme sur la photo.
Voici la photo du pénis nécrosant du gars.

Substantia Innominata renaît de ces cendres et en français pour vous proposer de la vulgarisation scientifique sur des sujets drôles, bizarres, différents, WTF ?, lolesque etc.
Le but est de vous décortiquer des études scientifiques, de les analyser et commenter. Au départ, ce site de vulgarisation était en anglais et concentré sur quelques thèmes précis, cette fois ci, il sera en français et sur tout et n’importe quoi tant que c’est un peu bizarre.
J’ai gardé les anciens articles que je réécrirais en français peut être, d’ailleurs mon anglais était tellement nul, enfin, je les laisse.
J’espère que vous vous plairez ici.

Guys, I am sure this post will interest you it is about women vocalizations during sex. Is she faking or not? Whatever she is faking or really enjoys the intercourse, the fact is we are different about vocalizations. Some of us are quiet other scream like or worst than porn movie etc but what that really means?
Brewer and Hendrie have written a scientific paper (in my opinion it is not a good paper, see the end) about that and it is called “Evidence to suggest that copulatory vocalizations in women are not a reflexive consequence of orgasm”. They did a female self-report to assess how and why they do copulatory vocalizations to 71 heterosexual women between 18 and 48 years old.
Questions were about their sexual life (i.e. number of sexual partners), how they reach orgasm (i.e. self-masturbation, oral sex performed by partner etc) and when it is achieved (i.e during intercourse after or before or in the same time than the partner, before or after intercourse etc). Kind and intensity of vocalizations noises (i.e. silence, scream, moan, words, instructional command etc). How often they vocalize, why and reason even they know that they will have no orgasm (i.e. boost ego of partner, to speed up things for: time limitation, pain, discomfort, fatigue) and finally the consequence of the intercourse and how they feel to have orgasm or not.
What are the results of this self-report study?
When they have orgasm and vocalization?
- The frequency of orgasm achievement is higher by self masturbation, partner masturbation and oral sex compared to vaginal penetration.
- Also this frequency is higher during the foreplay and during the intercourse before partner’s orgasm than during intercourse after or in the same time that his orgasm and afterpaly.
- The frequency of vocalizations is higher during foreplay, the intercourse before or in the same time the partner’s orgasm. So there is an association between vocalization and orgasm during the foreplay but it is dissociated during intercourse.
Why they vocalize?
- 66% of female use to speed up their partner’s ejaculation for many reasons in equal proportion: relief pain/discomfort, boredom, fatigue and time limitation.
- 92% of female think that vocalization boost self-esteem of the partner and 87% use it for this purpose.
- 68% of female would stay with the partner even if they don’t reach orgasm with him and are bad in bed. (OMS* O_O)
- 25,3% of female make vocalization even they will not have an orgasm in 90% of time, 56,2% over 70% of time and 79,1% over 50% of time.
They concluded
Women manipulated man when they vocalize during intercourse even when they will not have orgasm to end the intercourse or/and to boost the self-esteem of the partner to avoid “emotional infidelity or abandonment resulting in continued access to resources and protection.”.
Why I don’t agree with this paper and some criticism to the method.
I really don’t like their conclusion: “In conclusion, current findings clearly demonstrate that at least one component of female copulatory vocalizations is not a reflexive consequence of orgasm which gives women the important advantage of being able to manipulate male ejaculatory behavior.”. At any time they speak or ask about pleasure during intercourse so they don’t know whether the vocalization during intercourse is associated to pleasure (not necessarily orgasm) or not. Even if vocalization boost the self-esteem of the guy that doesn’t mean there is no pleasure!
Of course some women used it to manipulate and to stop the intercourse for many reasons. But in this study the authors postulate that if vocalization is done when the frequency of orgasm is low it means vocalization is pure manipulation. It is wrong, we can groan per real pleasure without orgasm. Orgasm equal pleasure but no orgasm doesn’t mean no pleasure. Also they postulate that because the frequency of vocalization is high during the partner’s ejaculation. Again, it is not necessarily a fake. They again didn’t ask anything about pleasure, sexual position and so one during this end of intercourse, just before partner’s ejaculation which are generally (ok I generalize my case) associate to an increase the movement of the penis backward and forward inside the vagina in pleasurable position and it has consequence to increase or give a lot of pleasure even if there is no orgasm.
In conclusion and in my opinion/experience, vocalization during intercourse is not meaning a fake even there is no orgasm. We can have a lot of pleasure even without orgasm, something that the authors of this paper have forgotten! So i repeat Orgasm equal pleasure but no orgasm doesn’t mean no pleasure!!! We can enjoy sex and have pleasure without orgasm!
Finally the question is “Are the authors frustrated? or did they found only stupid venal bitch?”.

At the moment I play a lot to Team Fortress 2, a funny first-person-shooter where teams are red or blue. The aim is to defend your bases, to attack the enemies’ bases, to steal documents and so one. It is a really good game that I advice you. Well, I am not here to speak about my fav’ video games but to tell you to always be in the red team if you want to increase your chance to win on FPS video-games.
Ilie et al. have wondered whether the color of the team (generally Red VS Blue) in video game gives an advantage like it has been shown for the Olympic game 2004.
How they have found that?
They have analyzed the public anonymous statistic of the best gamers at Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004) specifically the Deathmatch mode during 3 months (April to June 2007).
What they have found?
They have analyzed 1,347 matches (Red VS Blue) during these 3 months and the red team won 54.9% of matches (according the data this 54.9% is statistically significant). So wearing red or being on the red team gives a slight advantage on a matche or competition.
What is the explanation?
Apparently wearing/being red psychologically enhance performance in contests and could be a signal of relative dominance of human. Also seeing red may act as a psychological distractor for men.*
Conclusion
If you are a big noob on a game always go to the red team at least to have a slight advantage even if you don’t know how to use your gun. If you are a pro chose also the red team, by being in the red team your enemies are pwned because you are a roxxor and also because you have the psychological effects to be red! Well, I am sure that works better If your avatar is a red woman with big boobs and ass. I’m not saying, I’m just saying

Metalheads, we have a bad reputation in the world! People think that we are Satanist (did they know that a style of metal is called White Metal?), people think that metal is only noise with puking-pig-horrible-voice (This is the grindcore! There are many many many kind of metal which are really different each other, including kind of voice, music and lyrics) or we are depressed and suicidal… for this last assumption a recent scientific paper have shown that we are normal! Yes we are! Ok some of band or metal style speaks about Satan, Death, Occult, Murder, Torture and many other not really happy topics and generally when you see the name of the band or its album artwork you can guess the topic of lyrics and sometimes even the kind of metal. But still we are mentaly OK.
A French scientific team decides to focus on Metal Music and Mental Health in France. Because we have a bad reputation, because a big part of the present French government want to stop the HellFest (Metal Festival in Clisson), because stupid people says “metal music is bad, corrupt and put our children on the wrong way, also it push them to suicide and making violent act”, because we wear almost only black clothes (and some have many tattoos and piercing), this scientific paper bring the truth in Hell about our mental health mainly anxiety and depression.
How they have done that?
- To detect anxiety and depression they have used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
- They have taken into account these several factors: age, gender, employment status, education and field of study, body modification (piercing, tattoos, scarifications), motivation and number of and type of participation at metal concerts
- 282 males and 39 females (= 321 French metalheads) were selected. They have found them by internet metal community and they have taken only those have filled completely the questionnaire. The mean age is 22.67 years old (between 13-44 years old).
What are the results? Here the result and some explanations about them.
- The mean of the score for the HADS is far lower than the cut-off which determines the presence of anxiety and depression. Except and like for every population, 15.58% has high probability of anxiety and 3.43% for depression. → Globally metalheads are really not anxious or depressed.
- Gender, age, number of concerts per year, preferred musical style and body modification practices of tattooing and piercing had no link to mental health, in terms of either anxiety or depression. → So listening black and death metal don’t affect you mental health even if you listen to Dark Funeral, go often to death metal concert and have tattoos representing Baphomet.
- Metalheads with high grade have less anxiety. Also those who have an arts and literature background have more anxiety than those have a scientific background. And finally the lower the employment status, the higher the level of depression and of anxiety. → These are general anxiety and depression factors finding in all population, it is not specify to metal music fans.
- The score of HADS for depression and anxiety of metal lyrics writer are higher compared to other groups. Alcohol consumers during metal gig have a higher score of HADS for anxiety than the other groups and persons with scarification have a higher score of HADS for anxiety. But these score are still under the cut-off to determine presence of anxiety or depression. → For instance in these cases we don’t know whether songwriters are inspired because there are anxious and depressed or metal writing song increases anxiety and depression and even, for this metal music fan population, the HADS score remains low.
- Finally and about ritual practicing during metal concert, people who do ‘‘stage diving,’’ ‘‘moshing’’ and ‘‘Bravehearting’’ were not linked to mental health. But metalhead who do ‘‘pogoing’’ are less anxious than other groups contrary to person who do ‘‘slamming’. → Funny correlation isn’t it? The significant relation is statistically really weak, so don’t really take into account about metal concert dance and mental hearth.
Conclusion
We are on good health! Yeahhhh \,,/ So fans of metal are not anxious or depressed! No, horror picture representing dying and suffering persons with theirs guts getting out of their body and with blood everywhere on album artwork, lyrics about death and promoting the supremacy of Satan, dark clothes and tattoos did not affect our mental health contrary what people thinks. Actually it could be the contrary, according to the paper and other studies, being confronted to death openly and directly help to manage and be more comfortable with death in general and in real life. So it could explain why metalheads have a lower anxiety and depression than the rest of population, because we used to hear and see horror, death, suicide and torture ritual by metal music, lyrics and artworks.
Finally, guys, Stay Metal \,,/ and don’t forget that music is pleasure!

We all have a system called pleasure and reward circuitry inside our brain. Thanks to this system we feel pleasure when we eat, have sex, drink beer, win something etc. It is also this circuitry which is affected by all kind of drugs. One of the neurotransmitter involved in this pleasure is Dopamine.
Globally this system is necessary for survival but not only! According to a recent paper “Anatomically distinct dopamine release during anticipation and experience of peak emotion to music”, music also activates the emotion and reward system by dopamine, so now you know why you are euphoric and have a good pleasure when you listen to music I will be clear when I said Music I speak about Metal or Classical music, not Justin Bieber or Eurodance and other kind of horrible noses which induce ear bleeding (at least to me).
How they have found that?
- 8 persons had to choose a song which gives them the most pleasure and obligatory induced chills when they listen to it.
- Verifying that the chills response is a good representation of emotional pleasure during music listening. Briefly when you listen a song which give you pleasure, your autonomic nervous system is activated and induces: increasing of heart rate, respiration and electrodermal response; decrease temperature and blood volume pulse. In this case, chill (which is not obligatory or necessary to stimulate the reward system during music listening and also chill is not specific to pleasure but also to fear) is correlated with these same autonomic responses.
- PETscan, boring thing but briefly they have injected [11C]raclopride which binds D2-receptor of dopamine (neurotransmitter involved in pleasure) and by PETscan they have measured the activity of this radioactive element and where it is happens on the brain.
- fMRI, also boring thing but it is used to assess indirectly the activity of the brain. The participants had to press a button when they had chills during the listening session and by fMRI it is possible to see if the activity of the brain increase or decrease after and before this button pushing.
What they have found?
- When a pleasurable music is listened, the pleasure and reward system (ventral and dorsal striatum, mostly in the right caudate and the right nucleus accumbens) are activated by increasing of dopamine, but not during a neutral music excerpts.
- The dorsal (the caudate) and ventral subdivisions (nucleus accumbens) of the striatum as contributing to the anticipation and experience, respectively, of peak pleasure moments during music listening
What that fucking means?!
- Music (an abstract reward) activates directly you pleasure and reward circuitry by dopamine release as drugs, food and sex do.
- Anticipation of pleasure moment and pleasure moment itself involved two different part of the reward circuitry.
Well, ok music = pleasure but in what this good study is implicated to me?
- This abstract form of pleasure which are not a vital/survival element activated directly your rewards system. That is why you feel good in concert, when you listen good music and so on.
- These areas of the rewards system are interconnected with other brain area involved in emotion, learning of stimulus-responses associations etc. That means, music could touch your emotion or could induce an association/reinforcement to something else. That could explain why music is used in rituals and fucking marketing brain washing.
Now, I will induce pleasure to myself by music with the song Invocations Beyond The Outer-World Night of Bal-Sagoth.

A folk myth really popular says: (imagine the voice of an old old old old man telling an old old old old legend) “To know the size of the penis of a guy, see his Feet/Nose/Hand/Thumb/Toe/Hair/Dog/Cat/Goat/Number-of-porn-movie-in-his-computer*”.
Some scientific have decided to verify this folk myth. There are a kind of MythBusters** of sex. These 3 scientific studies will tell you the truth about this folk myth!
1- A Korean study has measured the stretched penile length, its circumference, the length of: each finger, each toe, nose, hear and month; the weight, the size of the body and even the baldness of 655 Koreans above 17 years old and during 4 months.
The averages are:
Age: 46.6 +/- 18.4 years old
Stretched penile length: 10.0 +/- 2.0 cm
Circumference of stretched penile: 8.5 +/- 1.0. cm
The results are:
- Weak correlation between the size and the circumference of the penis (stretched penile).
- The circumference of the penis is weakly correlated (in decreasing order) with the size of the penis, the size of the body and the weight of the person, also with the length of the 3rd and 1st toe.
Conlusion: Even the weak correlation that they have found, it is not possible to determine the size of the penis from these different parts of the body.
2- A Canadian study has measured the stretched penile length, the length of the body and the size of the feet of 63 mans.
The averages are:
Age: 39.6 years old (between 27 and 71 years old).
Body height: 174.7 cm (between 157 and 194 cm)
Stretched penile length: 9.4 cm (between 6 and 13.5 cm)
Size of feet: 26.5 cm (between 24.4 and 29.4 cm). Caution!! They have converted the shoe size to foot length.
The results are:
-Size of the feet and body height are moderately correlated.
- There is a weak statistical significant between size of the penis and body height and also between size of the penis and foot size.
Conclusion: There have found the same results than Loeb et al. in 1899. But it is still not enough to be able to determine the size of the penis from the body height and foot size.
3- London’s study has also measured the size of the penis and foot size from 104 mans but contrary to the study above, they didn’t find any correlation.
The averages are:
Age: 54 years old (between 17 and 84 years old).
Stretched penile length: 13 cm (Between 6 and 18 cm)
Shoe size (UK size): 9 (between 5.5 and 13). Caution! They use the shoe size, not the real size of the feet.
The results are:
No correlation is found between penis size and shoe size.
Conclusion: No correlation = myth busted
By the way, you are probably asking what is the “Stretched penile length”? As it is named, it’s when you stretch your dick (don’t ask me more detail, I don’t have a cock). But according this and this study, the size of a penis in erection can be determined from the length of a stretched penile. I am sure guy, who are reading that, you are trying to do something with you dick… ah? At least you have looked at it. Don’t lie! 
The conclusion of theses 3 studies is clear, even a weak correlation between a penis size and the size of some other part of the body, it is not possible to determine or guess the penile length of the guy that you want to pick-up on a bar. Sorry women… we can’t make a “pick-up selection” by checking the hand of guy and honnestly it is not the size of the penis which meter but how to use it. If you are stubborn and really want only man with horse-dick-like on your bed, you should pick up only tall guy, the correlation between body height and penile length is weak but… correlation it has… Remember correlation does not equal causation! So don’t come crying after, if the guy has a micropenis even with his 2.20m or if the boyfriend of your bestfriend, whose you have looked after and finally decided to give up because of his 1.65 m, has a big penis!
