A 50-year-old German tourist has been admitted in serious condition to a hospital in the Italian province of Grosseto after suffering penile necrosis for a nearly 24-hour sex marathon with his partner.

According to local media, such as the newspaper "Republic", the man was admitted with septic shock, and the only medical solution in his case would be amputation.

The German, who was on holiday in Italy, was hospitalized on the night of May 10-11. A few days later, he was transferred to the intensive care unit.

In some media, there is information circulating that the man had consumed ecstasy and other drugs before sexual intercourse, which worsened his health. Preliminary investigation evidence suggests that prolonged sex in combination with drugs in his body was a key factor in necrosis of his penis.

At the moment, the hospital has not yet issued an official statement, but doctors are expected to make a more thorough analysis of his condition in order to conduct appropriate treatment, with amputation remaining the best solution for now.
