Steven was kept in hospital for four nights while doctors treated his broken manhood.
The treatment of his todger included having a catheter inserted in his penis and being forced to undergo a circumcision.
Steven, who had hopes to become a dad with girlfriend Kiera Diss, 38, fears his injury may stop the couple from conceiving.
He said: “Kiera is gutted. We can’t have sex for six weeks. We did try last night but it was too painful.”
Kiera was left in complete shock following the dramatic injury.
She said: “Steve was in a lot of pain. I was in shock, I never imagined something like this would happen.
“I feel a bit guilty as I think it was my thrusting backwards that was half the cause of it.
“But I stuck by him, helped him clean up, use the toilet, I’ve been there all the way.”
Have I broken my penis? Dos and don'ts to avoid an injury
What is penis contrusion?
While the penis does not have any bones to break, a penis trauma or contrusion occurs when an erect penis is hit by a direct force.
What happens exactly?
An erection happens when blood rushes through the two big tubes in a penis causing pressure to grow, while making it hard and difficult to bend at the same time. If it experiences some kind of force, it can lead to a pressure overload and eventually, a rupture.
How do you know if it’s happened to you?
You will know almost immediately if you’ve broke your penis as you’ll hear a cracking or a popping sound, which is the tissue tearing. You will lose your erection and then swelling of a different kind will occur alongside bruising and lots of pain.
What should you do if it happens?
While embarrassing, you should probably head to your nearest A&E so doctors can confirm the fracture through a clinical exam. Men usually need to undergo surgery to repair the penile tissue and it’s important to go under the knife within three days of the injury to avoid further complications down the line.
How to avoid breaking your penis
Don’t worry too much as penile fractures are relatively rare, but it pays to be aware of the sex positions which put you more at risk, including when the woman is on top.
Speaking about the couple's future prospects of parenthood, Kiera said: "We were hoping that we might be able to have kids one day.
“We’d been sort of trying for the past six months. I am worried now that we won’t be able to have children after trying too hard.
“Maybe this is fate telling us we shouldn’t.”
