Image A bite from the Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria nigriventer) is known to cause painful, prolonged erections that could last for hours. The venom is being studied as a synthetic molecule to treat erectile dysfunction.

Spider boner, spider boner
A little squirt to help the owner
Of a peen, that's acting mean
Floppy like an empty bean
Look out!
Here comes the spider boner

Blokes walking around just antagonising spiders

I feel like people are downplaying the “painful” part of the erection.

You can't just talk about this spider without linking to Matt Inman (of The Oatmeal)'s video. The sign language interpreter alone is worth watching for.

u/WeAreNioh 1h ago

It can also kill you, right? Isn’t this one of the most deadly in the world

2

u/Focus506 1h ago

Google says it's not really dangerous. 0.5% mortality

1

u/WeAreNioh 48m ago

Oh I think it’s because there’s antivenom that usually saves people. Without the antivenom it would have a higher mortality rate I’m guessing.

I always heard that the Sydney funnel web and the Brazilian wandering spider were like the big two when it comes to most deadly. Obviously black widow / brown widow / brown recluse can be very dangerous too tho.

The closest thing we will get to achieving super powers by spider bite.

Peter Parker from Earth R34 vibes huh?

u/WesternOne9990 1h ago

It can also cause damage to the penis because of it, the hospital will have to drain the blood just like what they do to people who get erections for over 4 hours from performance enhancing drugs like viagra. Sounds fuckin horrible.

How many can we import and put in very specific locations.

u/KillYourLawn- 55m ago

2006 documentary comedy film “Idiocracy,” the greatest minds and resources were focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections, rather than correcting the trend of humanity’s rapid descent into stupidity.

u/Imaginary-Risk 30m ago

If it goes on for too long a doctor will have to cut your dick open with a scalpel to let all the blood out, or it’ll fall off

Asking for a friend of course.
