A bricklayer has put trying for a baby on hold after a freak accident during intercourse left him in hospital.

Steven Horden, 37, from Gillingham, was having sex with girlfriend Kiera Diss, 38, when his penis 'snapped in half'.

Steven was rushed to Medway Maritime hospital where he was forced to stay for four nights.

During his hospital stay, a catheter was inserted into his penis and he was forced to have a circumcision.

Now Steven, who hoped to one day become a dad with unemployed Kiera, now fears he may not be able to.

He said: "It's nasty. The whole penis is bruised and bent and horrible.

"I think we overdid it a little.

"The doctors told me that only time will tell if I can still have children."

Steven tells how girlfriend Kiera feels 'gutted' after the situation.

He says: "We can't have sex for six weeks. We did try last night but it was too painful."

Kiera says that during the moment it happened, she was in complete shock.

She says: "Steve was in a lot of pain. I was in shock, I never imagined something like this would happen."

Speaking of the couple trying to have a baby, 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."
