I like having sex. I make no excuses for it. It's me and that's what I like. Why shouldn't I? It's a fun activity. Fortunately my wife also enjoys sex and we've had a lot of good times together.
On this particular day I'd become rather horny during the morning. Probably due to the warm spring weather and all the young women wearing sun-dresses and looking mighty fine.
Now, by chance, I was working on a building site fairly close to home, so come lunchtime I hopped in my car and me and my erection went looking for a little fun. I knew Katy had no plans for the day so I was sure she'd be up for a quick break to the usual routine.
It turned out I should have phoned ahead. When I got there, Katy's car was in the garage, but no Katy. I wandered through the house checking but she just wasn't home. Maybe she was visiting a neighbour.
I called her mobile, but no answer. I was starting to feel a little concerned. Then there came a knock on the front door and a voice calling out and Caitlin and Michelle came bustling in. Caitlin lived next door and she was a lovely young thing. I wouldn't mind making a pass at her, but wasn't sure how she'd react. I wouldn't want to spoil her friendship with Katy, after all. Michelle was another mutual friend of Katy and Caitlin.
"Hi, Nick," said Caitlin. "We thought you'd be wondering where Katy was so we came over to tell you."
"I was wondering," I admitted. "Her car here and her not is rather unusual, and I can't raise her on the phone."
"She probably has it switched off while she's in the hospital," volunteered Michelle.
Seeing the look on my face Caitlin hurried to explain.
"No, no. There's nothing wrong with her. It's Brenda. She went into labour and Katy's gone with her to the hospital because Jack is interstate. Katy insisted on using Brenda's car, because she said if Brenda's water broke or she delivered in the car it wasn't going to be her car that got messed up. She'll probably stay with Brenda until the baby comes and that may be hours."
My frustration at seeing my midday nooky slipping away must have shown on my face. Caitlin was quite concerned.
"Um, you see a little concerned. Is there a problem? Maybe we can help."
"Ah, yes," I admitted. "I do have a little problem that I was expecting Katy to help me with. Now I'm not sure what to do."
"Well if you explain the problem, maybe we could help."
I laughed.
"Kind of you to offer, but I don't think you realise the type of problem I have." Acute horniness, but I couldn't really tell them that. "I, ah, have this potential medical problem and it needs to be treated as quickly as possible. I, ah, I get these bouts of Incipient Priapism every so often. One started up this morning and I was looking for Katy to treat it."
Caitlin was totally clueless as to what Incipient Priapism might be, but Michelle apparently recognised the term Priapism. She flashed a look at my groin and my erection was probably noticeable if you were looking.
Caitlin, bless her tender heart, wasn't worried about expressing her ignorance. If she didn't know something, she asked.
"Um, pardon my ignorance, but just what is Incipient Priapism?"
"Ah, this is a little embarrassing to explain," I hedged.
"Oh, don't be embarrassed. It's not as though it's your fault, and maybe we can help."
"OK, but I warned you. You know how men can get an erection, and if they ignore it, it just goes away again? Happens to everyone. A case of use it or lose it. Unfortunately, with Incipient Priapism the damn thing doesn't go away. There is some sort of blockage caused by pressure of the gonads against the base of the shaft, preventing blood from draining back out of the erection, so it can't subside.
Blood keeps seeping into the penis, causing it to keep swelling and become very painful. If not treated as soon as possible through natural means it could mean a trip to hospital, as the Incipient Priapism turns into Priapism proper, which could require surgery to repair the problem."
Caitlin blushed. "Oh. It sounds painful."
"Not yet, but it could get so if I can't contact Katy for some assistance."
"Well, what does the treatment involve to resolve the problem?" asked Caitlin, quite innocently.
