Just one hundred ejaculations left.

An incredibly rare condition known as idiopathic fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa.

A thirty-four-year-old man has shared his horror after learning that he only has ‘one hundred’ ejaculations left before a rare medical condition, which causes a buildup of scar tissue in the penis, will render it un-erectable.
Writing in BroBible the man known only as R.L.S has said that doctors call the condition idiopathic fibrosis of the corpora cavernosa, meaning every time the man gets an erection, it causes an autoimmune reaction, causing a build-up of scar tissue. Over time it will mean his penis will not be able to get erect.
R.L.S wrote: “I have a finite amount of real, working, orgasm-capable erections remaining. They estimate I have about a hundred [orgasms] left.”
It’s an extremely rare condition with hardly any known cases. The man now claims he avoids masturbation and has to be selective with sexual partners.
In an email to BroBible the man said, “You cannot imagine the feeling. I go in for what I think is a routine physical, and I’m blindsided. My whole life changes in an instant; like hearing you have six months to live. I honestly thought the doctor was f**king with me– how do you even process that kind of information?
“Ultimately, the scar tissue will make it impossible to ever get a boner again. I’m the first case anyone’s ever seen, and no one can tell me why it’s happening. I don’t wear briefs or hang out in saunas.
“There’s been no blunt force trauma to the balls. Some of the women from my past have suggested it’s karma, and I’m actually starting to believe it.”

Kavana: Katie Hopkins is a GAY ICON
In a recent interview, Kavana agreed that Celebrity Big Brother runner-up Katie Hopkins is a gay icon.
Katie Hopkins, who came runner up to Katie Price in Celebrity Big Brother, has often maintained that it is her ambition to become a gay icon, has received the thumbs up from openly gay singer Kavana.
When asked if Katie could achieve her dream of becoming a gay icon, Kavana said, “oh course, she was wearing Hot Pink and American tan tights last night…”
Katie, the controversial former Apprentice Star went into the Celebrity Big Brother house as the ‘most hated woman in Britain’ however managed to win over millions of fans, achieving second place to Katie Price.
Kavana also backed Alexandra O’Neal after he used an anti-gay slur against Perez Hilton, before removing himself from the Big Brother house earlier in the series. He called Perez a “silly assed f*ggot”.
Speaking on This Morning last week he said, “I’m gay. [O’Neal] didn’t make homophobic remarks,” Kavana said. “It just came out, but he was pushed and pushed and pushed.
“When someone is sat opposite you doing certain things – I won’t go into the action Perez did – but I think he was wise and clever to walk and not put up with it anymore. I respect him for that.”
Kavana also said that he was planning to work with Alexander on some new material as well as being the wedding singer at Katie Prices forthcoming wedding.

Larry Kramer To Be Honoured By Gay Mens Health Crisis
The writer and gay activist Larry Kramer is to be honoured by Gay Men’s Health Crisis the volunteer AIDS Organisation he helped found in 1981.
Disagreement caused by Kramer’s confrontational style, however, led to his resignation, and he left to then help set up ACT UP as a more direct action alternative. The whole traumatic period was dramatised by Kramer in his award-winning play THE NORMAL HEART that was adapted into a movie last year.
Mr Kramer, now in very frail health, has been named the first recipient of the LARRY KRAMER ACTIVISM AWARD which GMHC has established to recognise advocates who reflect Kramer’s ‘spirit, passion and fearlessness’. GMHC co-chair Roberta Kaplan also added that it’s also an attempt ‘to bring a sense of closure and healing’ between Kramer and the group.
80-year-old Mr Kramer is also the subject of the first ever documentary of his life ‘LARRY KRAMER: IN LOVE AND ANGER’ that premiered at Sundance recently and will be screened on HBO in the US in June and on UK TV later this year. Here’s a clip of director Jean Carlomusto discussing the film and working with the great man.

Now the words 3D and pants can only be a good thing, right? These sexy little red pants have been cleverly designed to allow an 8-way stretch which means every part gets a feature! For me one of the best features was the way they shaped around the bum. Without revealing too much detail it was certainly worth a look in the mirror whilst wearing them and I’m sure something the other half would appreciate. If only the shape stayed after you took them off!

THEATRE REVIEW | The Sound Of Music, National Tour 2015
★★★★ | The Sound Of Music
Let’s be honest, The Sound of Music needs no introduction. The story of Maria, who is sent from the Abbey to look after the Von Trapp family, is one that is known to most. This classic musical is crammed full of songs that you cannot help but know the words to, such is their foothold in popular culture. “Climb Every Mountain”, “My Favourite Things”, “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and, of course, “The Sound of Music” are all in there, but the question is, with a show which has been performed so frequently over so many years, what can a new version bring to the stage?
Firstly, this production brings a very good cast. Danielle Hope, who made her professional debut as Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, following winning the BBC’s Over the Rainbow program, was very impressive. Her singing voice was beautiful and effortless and her stage presence could be felt. Staying on the right side of twee, she made a very good Maria and had won me over by the conclusion of her first number. Jan Hartley utterly blew the audience away with her goose pimple-inducing rendition of “Climb Every Mountain” and Grace Chapman was equally impressive and perfectly natural in her role as Liesl. Most surprisingly for me though, was the incredible talent of the youngsters playing the Von Trapp children.
This production also brings with it a remarkable set. Appearing grand in scale (especially for a touring production), detailed and effective, it lifts the production and makes it feel fresh.The lighting and direction were of a high standard and the addition of a live orchestra only enhanced the experience. The sound in the theatre was perfect with a superb balance of music and lyrics and the performers delivered perfect diction in every line allowing the words to be heard clearly. Technically, it was a well-put together show.
Where the production faltered slightly was in the overly camp portrayal of (Uncle) Max Detweiler and that sometimes, especially during the party scenes, the number of people in the touring cast didn’t quite fill the stage. However, I wouldn’t necessarily hold these very trivial quibbles against such a broadly enjoyable production.Having seen the Sound of Music undertaken by numerous professional companies over the years I have to say that this is perhaps the best version I’ve seen. Of course it’s camp, of course it’s kitsch, but therein lays the fun and the enduring appeal of this show. This touring production seems to really revitalise the show as a whole, so iron your wimple, polish your sailors whistle and catch this production on national tour.
The Sound of Music plays at the Sheffield Lyceum until 14 February 2015 (www.sheffieldtheatres.co.uk) before continuing on its national tour (http://www.kenwright.com/index.php?id=1440)

Bobby Norris Wants You To Buy His Thong
Wondering what to buy the man in your life this valentine? TOWIE star Bobby Norris has the answer.
His thong. And this is not just any thong – it’s the Schlong Thong. The much debated one side man thong which took the fashion world by storm *cough cough* last summer is bound to put a smile on your Valentine’s face, and is a guaranteed giggle for you too! The picture was taken in Marbella whilst filming for the TOWIE summer special last year
Although the one-sided thong lacks much material it does pack column inches. Last year Bobby Norris melted the internet when he rocked the banana hammock on holiday in Marbs with his TOWIE pals.
Available from http://www.bobbynorrisoffcial.com just £10.
