A penis fracture involves a tear in the tunica albuginea, the fibrous cover of the erectile bodies of the penis, rather than a fracture of a bone, as the penis does not contain any bones. It typically occurs during vigorous sexual activity, not necessarily oral sex, and is considered a medical emergency rather than a common, minor, and temporary condition. It most often occurs in a sexual context.
