An American man may never be able to use his penis again after his partner accidentally sprayed expanding foam up his urethra in a sex act gone wrong.
The 45-year-old patient had to have a new opening cut between his scrotum and his anus to urinate when the foam hardened and became 'anchored' in his penis.
Medics who treated him revealed he will only qualify for reconstructive surgery if he passes a psychiatric evaluation.
The unidentified man was struggling with impotence, and had been inserting various objects into the opening of his penis during sex to stay erect.
But things went horribly wrong during one of these sessions when the man's partner tried to use the straw of a can of insulation spray to keep him firm.
At some point the man's unidentified partner accidently hit the button on top of the can, deploying the foam inside of his penis.
The foam, normally used for home insulation, hardened and he was left with several masses in the inside of his member and bladder.

Urologists who detailed the incident in Urology Case Reports said the man waited three weeks to seek medical attention.
He only went for treatment after finding it increasingly sore and difficult to urinate. By the time he arrived at hospital he was passing blood.
Once he raised the alarm with medics, scans found various masses of the hardened foam with some measuring up to nearly 11cm (4 inches) long.
Urologists told the MailOnline that 'sounding', where men insert various objects into the opening of their urethra, was becoming an increasingly common 'home-remedy' among impotent men, despite carrying serious health risks.
Medical staff managed to extract the foam from inside the man's bladder during surgery, but the masses located in his penis proved more problematic.
Using specialised tools, doctors tried to grab the foam and pull it out through the opening of the man's penis but this proved impossible.
It became apparent that the man suffered from urethral stricture disease - a condition where the urethra, the tube carrying urine out of the penis, becomes scarred, causing it to narrow.
This scarred tissue effectively anchored the foam in place, making the attempts to manually extract it through the penis impossible.
Medics were forced to perform a perineal urethrostomy, where a new opening is made between the scrotum and the anus, to remove the remaining fragments.
This procedure diverts the urine stream away from the penis, with the new hole behind the scrotum used to expel urine.
Following the surgery, three tubes were inserted to help him pass urine and remove fluid from the procedure.
No issues were identified after the operation and the man is expected to undergo further surgery to repair his urethra but only after a psychiatric assessment.

The patient, who is currently homeless, will only qualify for an assessment if he 'achieves a stable living environment', the authors from New York and Pennsylvania wrote.
They said while it was rare for objects to get stuck in penises, other items such as straws, cotton tipped swabs, batteries or nails and cables had been reported.
Reasons for insertions could vary from a mental condition, to sexual gratification, to prisoners intentionally doing so to gain temporary release from prison for medical treatment, the urologists said.
They added that those who do insert objects into their urethras tend to be repeat offenders and may need psychiatric help.
Independent urologist Giangiacomo Ollandini, who works at both Milton Keynes University NHS Trust and health clinic International Andrology London, told MailOnline that while he had never heard of someone using a straw attached to a can of spray foam for sounding, fans of the sexual practice were quite inventive.
'Often any object with the correct size and shape is considered if there is no availability of a dedicated instrument,' he said.
Mr Ollandini said sounding has become something of a home-remedy for erectile dysfunction.
'Some persons end up practicing sounding because they are not able to have good erections anymore, and they insert a stiff rod within the penis to be able to have intercourse,' he said.
However the urologist added that this was definitely not an advisable way to treat erectile dysfunction.
'I have seen urethras severely injured by repeated sounding, and unfortunately they rarely recover very well,' he said.
Mr Ollandini said men, of any age, experiencing trouble maintaining or getting an erection to instead seek qualified medical advice from a health professional.
'It does not only represent a true threat for men’s, and their partners, quality of life, but also it is often a warning signal of the body that something in the cardiovascular system may not be quite right,' he said.
Mr Ollandini said the case also highlighted the need for healthcare workers to always treat patients with understanding and compassion no matter the extreme nature of cases like this one.
'Wrong attitude, the tone of the voice or a simple inquisitory sight may break the trust of our patients in us and generate shame, guilt, or anger,' he said.
'There is no space for gossiping, for judgmental attitudes, or for any form of personal comment,' he said.
