Man Cuts Off Own Penis to Cure Sex Addiction

Here is another krazy Kraut story for you bloodthirsty Americans ;-) .
A fact missed by Reuters: the incident took place in a town named "Bad Säckingen" - "Sack" is a word often used ... err.. for the beanbag or as a taunt ("Du Sack!"; not always offensive).


BERLIN (Reuters) - A German cut off his own penis with a kitchen knife to cure his addiction to sex, police in the southern town of Tiengen said on Friday.

"The man called a friend around eight o'clock to say he'd done something stupid," police said in a statement. He had been drinking vodka to pluck up courage for the amateur surgery.

Police arrived to discover the blood-soaked man, 41, in his apartment and his organ under the kitchen table. Emergency services rushed the man and his penis to a nearby hospital.

Police said the man did not want his penis to be reattached but were unable to say if doctors had complied with his wishes.

:silly:

Just loving sex with consenting adults is not a horror, but if he preferred sex with young children? or some sort of sex that demeaned himself?? Hey...maybe he is onto something?

but he cut off the tool and left the power plant.

:toast:

sorry -

had to do with cutting off one's nose, etc.

the book The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester. It is about the most unique contributor to the first Oxford English Dictionary, an extremely intelligent and well educated American doctor who saw some horrible things during the Civil War, moved to England where he was placed, with aparently good reason, in an asylum after shooting and killing an innocent man.

Suffice it to say that the man's insanity involved excessive religiosity and sexual arousal was abhorent to him. He had horrible sexual dreams, probably schitzophrenic. And in his elderly years, cut off his penis to thwart his sinful desires and the devils who visited him in the night and sexually molested him.

Yeah, I know. I read some really wierd shit.

on edit: link to the book in case anyone out there has wierd tastes too.
