Doctors Remove Wedding Ring From Man’s Penis

A 28-year-old South African endured a rare case of “penile strangulation” after squeezing his wedding ring around his sex organ for “erotic reasons,” according to the South African Medical Journal.

The unnamed man was apparently attempting to use the wedding ring as a substitute cock ring ― a sex toy that holds blood in the penis to heighten sexual response.

The ring caused the man’s penis to swell up so much that he was unable to remove it.

When the patient’s mother brought him to a hospital in Limpopo four hours after, his penis was erect and blue, according to doctors.

At first, doctors tried to cut the ring off with a tiny surgical saw, but that failed because the swelling made it difficult to get close to the ring without causing further injury, according to the paper.

Doctors eventually made multiple puncture aspirations with a syringe and a pink needle to reduce the swelling.

The patient was given antibiotics and pain killers, presumedly with a strong suggestion not to do this again.

The journal noted:

“No proper guidelines exist for the treatment of this condition, so the ‘best method’ is the one with a successful outcome.”

The complete study as well as some very gruesome and NSFW photos can be seen here:

I would prefer a Prince Albert as wedding ring.

The other recent story about cutting off a ring has some great pictures of the actual procedure, one where a guy has a hacksaw and another where they have bolt cutters, see here: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/ma ... ng-9101253

I actually had to go to the hospital to get a ring cut off. The ring wasn't so small that it was a problem, but I also injected alcohol into the penis after I put the ring on and it swelled up considerably. I was going to cut the ring off myself, and possibly could, but my wife insisted I go to emergency. That was certainly an embarrassing experience, although I have to say that I've had to go to hospital five times in my life due to sexual misadventure and the embarrassment hasn't been enough to learn to not to it again. One time I stuffed a bunch of fish hooks down my urethra (and of course couldn't get them out)!

There are worse things to stick a penis into. Our neighbor called for our help after her hubby stuck his penis through a hole in a plywood wall in their basement, which meant that he had to get on-the-spot help, not at the ER. My hubby was able to free him by cutting out the area of plywood in question with a SawsAll to get him at least free from the wall and then cutting the disc of plywood that remained.

But the worst I've heard of was a case where a guy stuck his penis through the mounting hole in a blade for a circular saw. I can imagine that would be a bear to cut through to get him out. I don't recall how they did get him free.

And then there's this one from the Darwin Awards (http://www.funny.co.uk/real-life/the-da ... e-archive/):

"A police officer in Ohio responded to a 911 call. She had no details before arriving, except that someone had reported that his father was not breathing. Upon arrival, the officer found the man face down on the couch, naked. When she rolled him over to check for a pulse and to start CPR, she noticed burn marks around his genitals. After the ambulance arrived and removed the man - who was declared dead on arrival at the hospital - the police made a closer inspection of the couch, and noticed that the man had made a hole between the cushions. Upon flipping the couch over, they discovered what caused his death. Apparently the man had a habit of putting his penis between the cushions, down into the hole and between two electrical sanders (with the sandpaper removed, for obvious reasons). According to the story, after his orgasm the discharge shorted out one of the sanders, electrocuting him. "

Back in the late 70's and early 80's some men discovered that putting their erection inside the large hose of a shop vacuum and letting it flap around and vibrate created a new and different type of orgasm. So Aside for the fact that I could never buy a large shop vacuum hose because Sears quit making them (damn the perverts) ... A few other men also discovered there's a similar hose on the bottom of vacuum cleaners. The problem being that the motor is very near and for certain over-exuberant individuals, it was painful -- the glans of their penises could reach the whirling rotor that created the suction and in one pass they had a glansectomy and a trip to the hospital screaming in pain.

At least that's the way the Playboy Sex Advisor explained it.

Machine Shops and warehouses had odd tales of some workman vibrating his penis against a moving convertor belt and then getting his balls (which were always low hangers) caught in the rollers and ripped wither off or ripped open.

I have a ring that I wear on my right hand (a family gift) and when it got tight, I went to a jeweler and he got out a small tool about the size of a set of pliers. It had a bottom side that slipped between my finger and the ring and the top side was a tiny circular saw blade that he carefully rotated and cut the band. After that, he use two needle nose pliers and pulled the ring open. There was no big fuss and only a tiny bit of discomfort. Of course that was a finger and not a penis.

I'll never forget the guy who was working in the prison print shop. He was the plate maker. there was a machine where in one placed the master print copy, a plate of glasss went over it, and then a picture was taken so that a press plate could be burned. when the glass was placed a switch was flipped, and a vacuum held everthing in place. The operator, who had heard stories about using vacuums to get off, decided to try it/. he moved the machine so he could get behind it, pulled the vacuum hose, and stuck his penis in. The howling and screaming that followed were testament to the small fan the was spinni9ng inside. Poor bastard got stitched up at the hospital. Every once in a while one could hear vacuum sounds in the hallway when he walked by. Dunno what his capabilities are today, but I still laugh everytime I think of him....
