A now 68 year old Rhode Island man, named Charles Lennon, received a penile enlargement implant 10 years ago, in 1996, when the penis implant surgery was just starting and in its experimental phase, so that he could maintain an upright erect penis in order to have sexual intercourse. 

Problem is, the steel and plastic implant that was surgically implanted into his penile shaft never went down, and the poor guy has suffered a permanent erection for the past ten years. 

Not only is it uncomfortable and painful according to the man, but he has also become so embarrassed by the constant hard on that he has become a recluse, sheilding himself from the outside world because of a constatnly erect penis.   

Good news is the guy won a court battle recently with the manufacturer of the implant, which he and his attorney contend was malfunctional, and he was awarded $400,000 for his pain, discomfort and embarrassment.  If you ask me, that’s not even enough for the suffering this poor guy has gone through, and he should have gotten millions of bucks for this. 

The penile enlargement implant is not operable, as taking it out is not a viable option and may cause further issues, dysfunction and pain for the man, so this is a lifetime affliction he now has due to penile implants.
