Chuck Negron's Exploding Penis

I was reading TVTropes yesterday and happened to run across this tidbit I hadn't heard before:

If Three Dog Night is remembered at all in the 21st century, it's because one of the most notorious legends of classic rock excess concerns one of the band's singers, Chuck Negron, and became a mainstay of Internet clickbait in the mid- to late-2000s (long story short: at the height of the band's fame, Negron purportedly had sex with so many women that his penis exploded).

Naturally this raised some questions in my mind, the main one being why anybody in the mid to late 2000s would start an urban legend about Chuck Negron. A friend of mine did some research and traced the story back to Chuck Negron's autobiography, which I guess explains that part. Apparently Negron claimed to have had so much sex that his penis began to get "chafed and swollen", which he somehow thought was a good thing, like, somehow it was making his penis better cuz "no pain no gain". IDK. Apparently he claimed that his penis eventually "split like a hotdog".

Look, I'm a former penis-haver, and since this is ILTMI, I'll admit that I didn't necessarily treat it great all the time. Chafing? Sure. Swelling? Definitely. UTIs? Yeah, I even had that, though I didn't know that at the time since nobody had ever mentioned that penis-havers could get UTIs. The idea that anything could have the unintentional side-effect of causing a penis to "split like a hotdog", though? Penises don't have _seams_ like hot dogs do.

Hmmm. Wait. OK, it's been a long time since I've read about ways penises can be fucked up (I was convinced that there was _something_ wrong with mine, though in retrospect it was totally fine and normal actually). I remember vaguely reading somewhere that it's possible for penises to be _congenitally_ malformed... maybe Negron was born with a bifurcated penis, but that didn't become apparent until he badly mistreated it (chafing IME has a lot more to do with insufficient lubrication than with the amount of sex one has)?

like a hot dog

ffs people use lube

i guess the real unasked question here is whether chuck negron microwaves hot dogs

also it would be cooler if it split into three parts so he could have a three-headed penis

"lead singer of three dog night has cerberus cock"

Apparently it is possible to ejaculate blood after too much sex or masturbation.
