(BERLIN, GERMANY) — 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 penis under the kitchen table. Emergency services rushed the man and his detached organ to a nearby hospital.
Police said the man did not want his penis to be re-attached but were unable to say if doctors had complied with his wishes.
