Death Boner, also known as the "死后勃起", is an urban legend that gained popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s, stemming from a series of underground parties hosted by the pop group Death from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The story goes that the band's lead singer, Alejandro Robledo, disappeared under mysterious circumstances, prompting rumors that he had experienced a religious experience leading to his death. The legend then spread that during his séance, Robledo made a deal with the devil, allowing him to return to Earth as a demon with supernatural powers. His most famous trick was the ability to perform sexual acts even after his death, leading to the death boner, which was used as a slang term for having an explosive and passionate sexual relationship.
The concept of the death boner gained traction on the internet, inspiring various theories, including claims that it was a hoax or a genuine phenomenon caused by near-death experiences or psychological stress. The majority of people believe that the death boner is an urban folk tale, with no credible scientific evidence to back up its existence.
Despite its lack of evidence, the death boner has become a staple in popular culture, particularly among younger generations and online communities. It has been mentioned in various TV shows, movies, and documentaries, as well as being the subject of countless online jokes and forums. However, there are no serious studies or reports of anyone actually experiencing a death boner in real life, suggesting that it is most likely a mythical urban legend.
