Free Speech and Broken Penises

  • 10 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

Okay, this has absolutely nothing to do with Colorado politics, but there is a government angle and, well, the story is really funny:

A popular dance in Jamaica faces restriction by the government after being blamed for a spate of broken penises, said media reports on Wednesday.

The erotic dancy style known as ‘daggering’, features couples simulating dry sex in various positions to the beat of the music. The steps generally include extreme gyrating, heavy pelvis-thrusting and daredevil leaps.

According to media reports, couples have taken the dance moves to the bedroom with disastrous results.

The warning against the dance came from Jamaican doctors, prompted by being presented with a range of fractured penises caused by rough intercourse. The number of cases have tripled in the last year, the UK’s Sun reported.

Jamaica’s government, concerned about the dance’s growing popularity and public protests, has now banned ban songs and videos with blatantly sexual content, reported news.com.au…

…Jamaicans are apparently divided over the dance and the subsequent banning of the style – with some musicians saying it restricts free speech – but others support the government ban.

Do they really need to ban this kind of music? Won’t “natural selection” just kind of take care of this problem on its own?

  1. And when I typed in “penis,” the second entry in the drop-down menu was “penis fracture.”  Because I love my husband and want him to be safe, I read several articles to him, until he crossed his legs and demanded that I never speak of this again.

    I think it was the description of the loud popping or cracking sound that accompanies the event that pushed him over the edge.  Men are so sensitive….

  2. LOL, just joking.  I must be getting old.  I have done the “Bump, the Running Man, The robot, the bounce” and even a few dances that don’t have names. However,  I can honestly say I have never broken a man’s penis while dancing here in America or in Jamaica.

    This is why I love POLS!
