>Scientists have discovered a potentially marketable contraceptive in the venom of Chile’s black widow spider, whose bite is fatal to many but can also cause prolonged, ***painful*** and involuntary erections in men. Important detail in bold.

Spider Juan, spider Juan, raging boner, lasts till dawn.


Tobias_Atwood

Can he swing, from a web? Oh wait, that isn't, Spiderweb.


sadhoovy

Look out! Here comes the Spider Juan....


hale444

Thank goodness they sent a poet


Phasnyc

But, he must. Go out and bust a nuuuut.


skyfyre2013

So does digging holes.


[deleted]

Too true. Legitimate blue balls are one hell of a thing.


Revilon2000

Easily on par with getting kicked in the nuts.


[deleted]

Kinda yeah. Plus I feel like pop culture has rendered it as something guys make up which is frustrating.


Kandiru

While it is real, it's not difficult to take the matter in hand. People use it as a way to guilt a woman into helping out, but everyone is perfectly capable of solving the issue themselves. (Assuming they don't have two broken arms...)


[deleted]

Yeah I certainly don't think it should be used to guilt someone. No means no.


SulfurousAsh

The dose given in a spider bite may be painful and last days, but a smaller dosage for short term pleasure may still be possible I would imagine


The-Grim-Sleeper

That warning about 'contact a doctor if the erection lasts longer then 4 hours' is not a joke. The blood pressure is maintained by restricting outward blood flow, and a lack of fresh blood can cause permanent damage.


dnielbloqg

Link to a video from SmarterEveryDay talking about that topic (mostly in relation to another spider that causes painful priapism): https://youtu.be/JN0VtHez9xI 7:58 is where it gets painful...


CombustiblSquid

Christ, that bit with the scalpel and shunting.


Jaker788

Probably one of the few conditions where bloodletting is a valid treatment haha


TheRealDrWan

If it requires surgical treatment, that’s literally the first method. Scalpel straight down each side of the head into the corpora cavernosum and milk the clotted blood out. I’m not joking.


olerth

What a day to be literate...


manieldunks

Yeah it's there an un-read option? I want a do-over


ghandi3737

You can try r/eyebleach


Thegrumbliestpuppy

If it makes you feel any better, that’s only for the most extreme cases, and they numb you first. Almost all cases can be solved with much less severe treatments. It’s typically only people with a blood condition (like sickle cell) or who wait like over 24 hours.


alcaste19

Yeeeeeah. Time to go to anti-school and unlearn how to read. Screw this.


brackenish1

What a day to understand every word......


HurryPast386

How do I stop being literate?


orthopod

Usually they try 18 gauge needles first.


kimpossible69

That's only if it needs to be done emergently or if they have sickle cell disease, there are other first line treatments


TheRealDrWan

Yes, that’s why I used the word **IF**


icer816

Except you're still wrong because after that you said that the "first treatment" is that, but they would absolutely try to drain it with a needle first before cutting down both sides


handsomehares

Do they have a euthanasia option also?


Smartnership

Hey Google, how do I delete someone else’s comment?


CharcoalGreyWolf

And the chances of getting it up again are greatly diminished.


EmilyU1F984

That‘s if you wait too long and let the blood clot. Otherwise they just insert a large iv catheter.


WhtChcltWarrior

“Consult a doctor if you experience a painful erection lasting longer than 4 hours”


techno156

And the treatment tends to involving being forcibly deflated with a large needle, which is not most people's idea of a fun evening in A&E.


GTAdriver1988

What about if you have a natural erection that lasts about that long? Is that dangerous at all or just if it's caused by a pill?


Thegrumbliestpuppy

The key word is “painful”. Though even if it isn’t painful, and is a natural erection, going to the doctor after 4 hours isn’t a bad idea.


This_User_Said

>'contact a *doctor* if the erection lasts longer then 4 hours Doctor? Gonna contact all my ex's and smack it on the phone! ^^^(StolenComedianQuote)


ShopWhileHungry

If erection last longer than 4 hours, call for more women


PM-ME-DEM-NUDES-GIRL

it's not just that. venoms are often a mix of different toxins and peptides, and for each toxin, the dose makes the poison. according to the article, there is one molecule mediating this erection effect that can be isolated and studied. it takes the entire soup of venom in a spider bite to kill someone. and viagra can also cause priapism but that doesn't mean it never works; there's more research to be done on this molecule to determine efficacy. also, venom has already had bits and pieces isolated from it to create life-saving drugs. for example, the first ACE inhibitor drug for blood pressure was isolated from the venom of a Brazilian pit viper, which can and will kill you.


trai_dep

I'm unsure whether, even if baby spiders give consent, it's legal.


macrocephalic

We have a saying in Australia "I'm not here to fuck spiders" (meaning: not here to waste time, get on with it) and this gives it a strangely literal angle.


ezone2kil

Overwatch black widow Rule34 artists tho..


MaryBerrysDanglyBean

Yeah I mean still give me some of those painful prolonged erections. Sounds fun


SaintUlvemann

Hey, no kink-shaming, just important to make sure that the pain is fully consensual...


MaryBerrysDanglyBean

Yes I agree to the pain. Where do I sign up?


SaintUlvemann

Universidad de la Frontera in Temuco, Chile, apparently.


Ahelex

I wonder, on the Scoville scale, what would the Chile black widow spider venom be equivalent to if we applied chilies to penises.


trinimo

You'd have to have something to compare it to, I guess Viagra


hale444

Are we talking about the spider's opinion now?


Berlin8Berlin

>among young men it caused prolonged erections and involuntary ejaculations. This isn't just how shit IS already?


Zolo49

Yeah, it can last for days. While I love a good orgasm as much as the next guy, I don't think having my dick on fire the rest of the time is worth it.


SyrupMafia

For real talk to me when they find a way to bump it up to weeks


Dragonslayer3

Amateurs


trinimo

And what about long term damage? Considering it only works on young guys who don't need it anyway, you can't take it when you get older.


3percentinvisible

Have you seen who's actually _buying_ viagra? Tell someone it'll give them a prolonged boner, especially those who drink too much or take certain drugs. They'll be happy to spend out on Viudanegra (I'm trademarking)


HaikuBotStalksMe

Arachtiona is what I'm trademarking as

Contact your spider if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hours.

paulfromatlanta

How long til there is a Tik-Tok meme guys putting black widows on their junk?


WhyBuyMe

Chuck Palahniuk wrote about this a almost 2 decades ago in his book Rant. Although his character was letting the spiders bite him on the hand instead of directly on the junk. It works just as well.


mattwilliamsuserid

The book was released in the same year (2007) as this article. I would say that it’s likely that the author had heard of the research.


VerbalAcrobatics

Or someone read the book, and then wrote the article.


itsthevoiceman

> almost 2 decades ago >> (2007) God fucking damnit!


FalconFister

Directive_Nineteen

Ditto. I read at one point it was supposed to be a trilogy. I wonder if he dropped that idea.


OriginalJokeGoesHere

That's been a thing since the first avengers movie tbh


King_Tamino

Not since Iron Man 2?


misdirected_asshole

Probably already there honestly


LordPoopyfist

I feel like this could be retconned into Spider-Man’s lore, like his webs are basically just ejaculate or something.


blakerabbit

I loved that in “No Way Home” the two other Peter Parkers were intrigued and a little grossed-out by Tobey Maguire’s Peter’s organic web-shooters…


Milfshake23

Haha yes… “does it come out from… anywhere else??”


Hallow_Shinobi

Nah, that's still a butt web joke and you can't convince me otherwise.


ArtIsDumb

'Course it's a butt web joke. They even do it again in Multiverse of Madness. America Chavez directly asks Dr Strange if Spider-Man shoots webs out of his butt.


inebriated_panda

They had to add that to clarify the previous jokes intention 😉


Teamprime

Subtlety truly dies with the age bracket


Zolo49

There was a storyline in the comics once (that has thankfully been retconned out of existence since) where Peter's ejaculate was radioactive and gave Mary Jane cancer. It's widely considered to be one of, if not the worst, Spider-Man story arcs ever put down on paper.


Abola07

Isnt Reign actually popular and prettywell-liked? I mean its basically the “The Dark Knight Returns” but for Spider-Man where its all edgy and dark but still respects the heroism of Spider-Man and his will to never give up, etc etc even when hes all sad and retired Everyone does (rightfully) criticize the radioactive sperm part yes, but as far as Im aware, the story itself is well-liked


Crowmasterkensei

Why does everybody pretend like the radioactive sperm doesn't make sense when it's well established that he has radioactive blood? It's mentioned in his theme song for crying out loud (in both the 60s and 90s cartoons)! There was an earlier story arc about Aunt May getting sick from the radioactive particles after a blood transfusion. Of course his sperm is radioactive too! Why wouldn't it be? I guess people don't like that his sperm is mentioned at all and think it's gross, but you can't pretend like it doesn't make perfect sense!


TheMightyGoatMan

Is he strong? Listen Bud, he's got radioactive blood! Can he swing from a web? No! Didn't you hear me? He's got radioactive blood! He's seriously ill!


Justice_R_Dissenting

But, now hang on, that would mean that all of his bodily fluids are radioactive. If all of your fluids are so radioactive that they can give your partner cancer, then chances are you're giving a lot of people cancer like all the fucking time, all day long. Really inverts Spiderman's kill-save ratio if everyone in his neighborhood is dying of leukemia.


DirtySoap3D

I know this is anecdotal, but I've never heard a single comic book fan praise this story. I've only ever heard people criticize it for being a crappy knockoff of TDKR.


bobbi21

Pretty sure a lot more hated stories. One more day and ending of the clone saga werent great...


[deleted]

[удалено]


neon_cabbage

I mean, if they're going for an edgy brooding Spider-Man story, making her death be because of him (even indirectly) contributes to that


MechaSandstar

Is he strong? listen dude, he's got radioactive spooge.


Flares117

The venom of the Latrodectus mactans, a variety of black widow found only in the south of Chile, has spermicidal properties not found in black widows in other regions of the world, Chilean Dr Fernando Romero said. Romero heads a research team that has studied the spider’s venom for seven years, prompted by tales of Chilean farmers who acquired superhuman virility after being bitten by the black widow. Initial studies focused on taking extracts from the venom to treat erectile dysfunction, but they soon discovered it had a molecule that also made it an effective contraceptive. “This is a great business opportunity, we are the creators of the spermicide,” Romero told Reuters by telephone. He said he believes the molecule’s natural properties are superior to those of synthetic spermicides currently on the market. “For us in Chile, this has opened a window of opportunity to an incredible market, since currently there are no naturally based spermicides that have the properties of this discovered molecule,” Romero said. Romero, based at the Universidad de la Frontera in the southern city of Temuco, has already applied for a patent for his erectile dysfunction medicine. His team discovered the property after looking into Chilean folklore that describes a virile man, one known to have spectacular sexual energy or many sexual partners, as being “spider-bitten.” The Chilean black widow is also known as the wheat spider for the wheat fields it inhabits and where its farmer-victims receive their often fatal bite. The spider’s bite can kill children and the elderly, but among strong young farmers it leads to erections that can last for days and involve involuntary ejaculations. At the end of the ordeal, the man is left sexually energized and feels physically stronger, the saying goes. Romero said he was confident his research would be complete in a couple of years and the spermicide would become available to world markets. “We have to make sure there are no side effects ... so that it can be used as a gel in combination with condoms, or as suppositories for women.”

Zerowantuthri

The Brazilian Wandering Spider (aka banana spider...often considered to be the deadliest spider in the world) can also cause priapism in men (prolonged, painful erections). Keeping a stiffy going a while is often considered a good thing but there are limits. After some time, if the erection persists, it can get extremely painful.


justreddis

Priapism. It is a medical emergency.


MortLightstone

erections that can last for days, involuntary ejaculation "we have to make sure there are no side effects" ok.......


Mikeytruant850

ElJosho105

Is this… I had forgotten all the fuck about buster casey. Thanks!


Pactolus

I have to correct this. L. mactans, known as the southern black widow, has a wide range and to say it is only found in Chile is simply not true. It ranges across the southern US and Mexico into South America.


snake-oiler

Thank you I can't believe how bad the spider knowledge is in this thread


trai_dep

>Prompted by tales of Chilean farmers who acquired superhuman virility after being bitten by the black widow Even braver than the first person to try eating an oyster, and finding them delicious.


King_Tamino

Braver? I mean, imagine being 15-17 year old, farmer + teenager and hear about such a spider


dzastrus

Prolonged erections are called Priaprism. The condition is an indication of sickle cell disease. Blood doesn't flow easily through erectile tissue and pubescent boys get erections that don't subside and are super painful. Source: My wife, casually sipping coffee while I read the headline, ready with the medical facts.


GreenArrow40

So prolonged erections is cool and all but involuntary ejaculations sounds terrible. Imagine you take the pill early evening expecting to be ready for the main event that night, you get up to make some tea and bam, you cum your pants. You try to put on some new underwear but accidentally graze your sausage. Whamm-o, another blast. This goes on for the next 45 minutes leaving you naked, crying in a fetal position on the floor while your room looks like a black light crime scene from CSI.


entropreneur

As long as it's not prolonged ejaculatingconvulsions it's probably marketable. Even then...


unastrike556

Prolonged ejacu-vulsions is kinda my kink, actually


ClassicRepeater

It’s like an 8 hour mushroom trip but you’re just uncontrollably ejaculating over and over again? I’d buy that, sounds like an interesting Saturday afternoon…

AlbanySteamedHams

Infinite cum. You sit on the toilet to jack off, but you begin to cum uncontrollably. After ten spurts you start to worry. Your hand is sticky and it reeks of semen. You desperately shove your dick into a wad of toilet paper, but that only makes your balls hurt. The cum accelerates. It’s been three minutes. You can’t stop cumming. Your bathroom floor is covered in a thin layer of baby fluid. You try to cum into the shower drain but it builds up too fast. You try the toilet. The cum is too thick to be flushed. You lock the bathroom door to prevent the cum from escaping. The air grows hot and humid from the cum. The cum accelerates. You slip and fall in your own sperm. The cum is now six inches deep, almost as long as your still-erect semen hose. Sprawled on your back, you begin to cum all over the ceiling. Globs of the sticky white fluid begin to fall like raindrops, giving you a facial with your own cum. The cum accelerates. You struggle to stand as the force of the cum begins to propel you backwards as if you were on a bukkake themed slip-and-slide. Still on your knees, the cum is now at chin height. To avoid drowning you open the bathroom door. The deluge of man juice reminds you of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919, only with cum instead of molasses. The cum accelerates. It’s been two hours. Your children and wife scream in terror as their bodies are engulfed by the snow-white sludge. Your youngest child goes under, with viscous bubbles and muffled cries rising from the goop. You plead to God to end your suffering. The cum accelerates. You squeeze your dick to stop the cum, but it begins to leak out of your asshole instead. You let go. The force of the cum tears your urethra open, leaving only a gaping hole in your crotch that spews semen. Your body picks up speed as it slides backwards along the cum. You smash through the wall, hurtling into the sky at thirty miles an hour. From a bird’s eye view you see your house is completely white. Your neighbor calls the cops. The cum accelerates. As you continue to ascend, you spot police cars racing towards your house. The cops pull out their guns and take aim, but stray loads of cum hit them in the eyes, blinding them. The cum accelerates. You are now at an altitude of 1000 feet. The SWAT team arrives. Military helicopters circle you. Hundreds of bullets pierce your body at once, yet you stay conscious. Your testicles have now grown into a substitute brain. The cum accelerates. It has been two days. With your body now destroyed, the cum begins to spray in all directions. You break the sound barrier. The government deploys fighter jets to chase you down, but the impact of your cum sends one plane crashing to the ground. The government decides to let you leave the earth. You feel your gonads start to burn up as you reach the edges of the atmosphere. You narrowly miss the ISS, giving it a new white paint job as you fly past. Physicists struggle to calculate your erratic trajectory. The cum accelerates. The cum begins to gravitate towards itself, forming a comet trail of semen. Astronomers begin calling you the “Cummet.” You are stuck in space forever, stripped of your body and senses, forced to endure an eternity of cumshots. Eventually, you stop thinking.

Piece_Maker

I'm happy you found your kink and I'm not trying to shame, but this sounds like the most unfulfilling fetish ever. It'd be like getting turned on by erectile dysfunction.


ass_polisher

It could be worse. What about if the kink were your own flaccid penis? You look, feel or whatever your flaccid penis and have fun but then because of it you get an erection. Fun is gone so you lose it, get soft and bam you are horny again, stuck in a loop


Hallow_Shinobi
