When wife mutilates husband

UNDER our Penal Code, "mutilation" is committed when one "intentionally mutilates another by depriving him of an essential organ of reproduction." In California law, the crime is "aggravated mayhem" when one deprives another of a body part.

Californian Catherine Kieu was meted seven-years-to-life in prison for cutting off her husband's penis, a news story said Monday.

Last May in Misamis Or., a Pinay slashed 20 percent of her husband's sex organ. In 2008 in Pasay City, one Lenly mutilated her spouse but doctors stitched the penis back.

Kieu's story drew worldwide interest. Her husband woke up to find himself tied to his bed. Putting sleeping pills on the penis, Kieu severed it with a kitchen knife, muttering three times, "You deserve it."

What pushes the woman off the edge of reason? Kieu felt betrayed: her husband wanted a divorce. The wives in Misamis and Pasay were cheated on by their spouses. John Wayne Bobbit, whose wife's butchering led to the word "bobbittize," had slept with 70 other women.

Removing the phallus, which represented love and deception, was symbolic punishment. "A cruel and calculated violation of the body and spirit," Kieu's husband said.

No more use

A Cebu student years ago cut off his penis and threw it into a garbage can--this is true--with the note, "What's the use?" Kieu flushed her spouse's dick down the sink.

In another U.S. case, the slasher threw the penis to an empty field: police recovered it, packed it in ice, and took it to the victim's doctors.

Someone asked: if women are taught to guard against being raped, shouldn't men protect themselves against mutilation?

I don't understand why these women do such a lousy job of cutting off the penis. If they are going to do it they should cut both the penis and testicles totally off and be sure they are never found. Why do such partial jobs?

I wonder whether they are shocked by their own audacity. My hubby thinks Catherine Kieu came closest to the perfect revenge--tying her man up and making him watch while she cut his penis off, then destroying it so that it couldn't be reattached, and leaving his testicles so that he'd remain horny but not be able to do anything about it. The only thing he'd change would be to have her bring along a bunch of beautiful naked girlfriends to get him just short of orgasm before the cut and then mocking him with the severed organ afterward. (That's been his ultimate fantasy since grade school.) But I don't think many women could be that cold and calculating, no matter how angry. I can't imagine being that angry no matter what he did.

Yeah, I don't see many crimes like this happening. It seems there are handful of unreported castrations or partial penectomies a year from sex play gone wrong, but people don't talk about that. And I think in most cases it was due to autoeroticism. Although it would be awesome to think that there are women out there that would not only help you accidentally castrate yourself, that they'd be ok with the consequence(not the legal consequence, just the aftermath of your emasculation).
