Penile Implants

Rabbit SexPenile implants sound like a joke you would find in your Spam mail, but luckily may become a reality for those suffering from Erectile Dysfunction in the not-too-distant future.

Everybody knows that rabbits have the best sex lives around. Well, researchers at the Langone Medical Center found some unfortunate bunnies who had problems with sexual dysfunction. Apparently, researchers implanted some penile tissue into bunnies with damaged penises. And, no, I don't know how the rabbits penises were initially damaged.

Within a few weeks, the bunnies were miraculously revved right up and able to have sex with female rabbits. The researchers are unsure exactly how the implants worked, but are interested in seeing if penile implants will work on men in the future who are suffering the same misfortune. The goal is to cure the men who cannot be treated by existing drugs such as Viagra. Unfortunately, the researchers are predicting that the procedure will take a long time to get FDA approval-maybe as much as ten years from now.

The other sign of hope is that the researchers believe that this kind of technique may be applicable to other uses on humans to heal different organs in the body.
