Name a body part more important than the male penis; I’ll wait. Sure, a man needs a heart, brain, kidneys, and lungs, but life without a sex organ creates a profound sense of loss, affecting more than his sexual pleasure and happiness in the bedroom as if that in and of itself isn't gruesome enough. Losing a sexual organ sends a man into an orbit of confusion and creates a significant psychological impact on his self-esteem, masculinity, and overall identity. If you have the balls, read the following stories of a few men who can give firsthand testimonies of what life is like without genitals.

Woman Charged With Murder After Chopping Off Lover's Penis

In May 2024, 32-year-old Shenting Guo of Grand Junction, Colorado, was charged with murder after she allegedly stabbed her boyfriend and cut off his penis during an argument at the Woodspring Suites.

Police responded to a call of an unresponsive man and found the victim on the bed, deceased.

Guo told police she stabbed him in the leg because she was angry but said she did not intend to kill him. She then cut off his penis, traveled to a nearby market, and purchased rubbing alcohol, beer, and antibiotics but forgot bandages, so she returned to the store.

The victim told Guo he might die; she gave him a Propel drink and an Ibuprofen. He later passed away from his injuries.

She has been charged with second-degree murder.

Woman Ripped Man’s Testicle Out With Her Teeth

Back in May 2016, Nunzia Del Viscio, 43, attacked her ex-boyfriend in his flat in Edinburgh, using her teeth to rip one of his testicles out of its scrotum.
