You may have seen pictures of indigenous tribesmen wearing an article of "clothing" made from gourds that they wear covering their penises in such a way that you may have mistaken it for an erection. A tribe with permanent erections does not exist.

Medically speaking, a permanent or persistent erection is a serious health problem called "priapism". It is often very painful and needs urgent medical attention. It is

caused by some diseases, an injury, or sometimes by drugs or medications. Without treatment, it can cause permanent damage and result in a problem achieving erection in the future.

Additional note: There are different tribes in different locations who wear the penis gourds. The Dani tribesmen in New Guinea wear them. In Papua New Guinea the gourds are called Koteka.
