The condition is called Periapism, named for the ancient (Greek IIRC) diety of fertility, whose likeness is typically a statuette with the extended sausage being about as long as the figure is tall. Bought a few key rings with that image in a small likeness when I was in Turkey years ago, and sent them to a few friends as gag gifts. One, a gal, sent back a question: "Nice gag gift, but can you send me the address for the fellow who modeled for the statue?"

Hmm. As I recall, as some point in human history/evolution we were self-selecting above all for resistance to contagious disease. (This would be once we had cities.)
Perhaps the genetic fluke you mention will be a selected survival trait once marketing becomes advanced enough that we no longer have a choice about buying these drugs.
BTW, the link in the original post didn't work for me. Couldn't resolve

Although I missed one reply in the thread, and err, was wondering where the discussion of priapism came from... all figured out now. =)

Hm... Didn't know the genesis of the work Occhi. In medic lingo, "
priapism" I have heard used to refer to the persistent erection trauma patients get. It is the result of trauma to the sacral or coccyx spinal cord. Because these patients are generally in VERY bad shape (is usually associated with a pelvic fracture to add to the troubles), it is sometimes referred to as "God's final joke" to the patient.
Needless to say, my medic buddies and I were quite amused to learn this.
Didn't know it was a general term though.
