I find that extraordinarily improbable. It seems to be a popular fantasy, promulgated by the an article on
the circlist fetish site, and I suspect all that you "read" actually originates from that particular article.

Wouldn't it be easier just to wash under it instead?

It's supposed to come back when you're erect.

Well, a chap who sometimes posts here, but says he has forgotten the URL just now(!), frequently quotes
this page which I think may answer your question.

> Could it do any harm to me?

Probably not if you're careful. Some say you wouldn't like the loss in sensation long-term.
