Ex pornstar Danny Wylde, aka Christopher Daniel Zeischegg, spoke to The Independent about the effects of using erectile dysfunction pills too much.
The former adult entertainer has starred in around 600 shoots over 10 years, but has given it all up after his health was affected and taking the pill also started to affect his personal life.
His career was a lucrative one, initially living as a student and shooting a few days a month, making thousands of dollars for a few days' work in LA.

From this blossomed a full-time career, but it meant he used erectile dysfunction medicine a lot, which ended up with him going to hospital on numerous occasions with a prolonged erection.
He told The Independent: "Over the course of an eight-year career, I ended up in the emergency room three times. All for priapism. After the third time, a doctor said to me that if I kept using the drugs, I could cause some serious long-term damage, like scar tissue build up in my penis, which could lead to impotence. I quit performing in porn the following day."
He believes he became addicted to Cialis, a drug designed to give you an erection, saying that once he stopped taking the drug for a while it became a psychological issue and he struggled to get an erection on set, becoming more and more dependent on it. He felt that the drug made him extra impressive while filming, and it also affected his personal life, taking the drug when on dates, too.

"I was still in my 20s. There should have been no reason that I needed to do that. But I had developed this idea about myself, and I didn't want to let my partner down, or make them think that I was anything less than a 'porn star' in bed."
Wlyde now works in video and film production, of which many people are from the adult entertainment business, as well as founding a hot sauce business, Wyldefire.

From having a prolonged erection and becoming dependant on performance enhancing drugs to the world's biggest penis, having a member that, on paper, sounds awesome, can be anything but.
Ask Roberto Esquivel Cabrera, who recently rejected the chance to reduce the size of his 18.9 inch penis, because his name in lights is much more satisfying than having sex.
"I am happy with my penis, I know nobody has the size I have," he said. "I would like to be in the Guinness Book of Records but they don't recognise this record."

WELL THEY SHOULD.
His penis, which looks more like a baby elephant's trunk, has its own sleeves made up of bandages and hangs just below his knees, meaning he can literally play keepy-ups.
"We have advised him, 'Mr Roberto, the best thing for you is that the doctors give a normal shape to your penis so that it doesn't hurt you, in order to have sexual relationships, in order to have children'," Doctor Jesus David Salazar Gonzalez said. "But he doesn't accept it, he'd rather have a penis bigger than the rest of the people.
"In Latin culture whoever has the bigger penis is more macho.
"It's something that makes him different to the rest of the people and makes him feel special."
I guess you can understand him wanting to keep his third leg, but it must land him in some awkward situations from time-to-time.

Getting through airport security must be a right pain in the arse, given that it'll look like he's trying to smuggle a concealed weapon into another country, but when he says, 'Nah, mate, it's just my dick' he'll never be believed.
Roberto has apparently been obsessed with the size of his manhood since an early age, with doctors determining that he performed his own ghetto 'enlargement' surgery in his teens, stretching it with weights.
The 54-year-old has to rest his middle stump on a pillow when he sleeps due to the discomfort, and he faces many health risks such as frequent urinary tract infections because not all his urine escapes his lengthy foreskin.
"Some people ask me if I put some condoms on it and the answer is: I cannot. I can never penetrate anyone because it is too thick," he says.
The Mexican actually qualifies for disability benefits because his penis restricts his job opportunities and he relies on food banks to live.
He says: "I cannot wear a uniform like anybody in the [work] companies and also I cannot get on my knees.
"I cannot run fast and so the companies think badly of me. They say that they will call me, but they never do.
"Every four months the [government] give me some economic assistance but it is not enough.
"I visit the food banks every day to take my meals at 12 'o clock."
Despite not being able to find a suitable partner, Roberto wants his penis to remain the same but he plans to move to the USA permanently in the hope that'll he find a woman who is 'the right size' for him.
"I don't feel sad because I know in the USA there is a lot of women," he explains. "One of them will be the right size for me.
"I would like to be a porn star and I think I would make a lot of money over there.
"And the people are not like over here, they are more liberal. They don't care about what I have in my pants."
We care. It's humongous.
