etal Objects + Masturbation 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
r. Q's 68-year-old mother found him collapsed on the couch in urine-soaked pants. She called an ambulance which rushed him to the hospital. When they examined him for his "fever, chills, and problem urinating," the doctors discovered his gangrenous scrotum swollen to the size of a grapefruit and urine oozing out of the rotted tissue at the base of his penis. An x-ray showed a 10.5-centimeter long metal cylinder lodged there. The treatment? Immediate amputation of the penis and scrotum. They were able to save the right testicle, though, which they transferred to his thigh.
Eventually, Mr. Q revealed the specifics of how that metal tube got there. Since the age of 14 he'd been inserting plastic or vinyl tubes into his penis while masturbating. He discovered about 12 years before the hospitalization that the chrome casing of a tire pressure gauge makes an excellent sex toy, especially when lubed up with Vaseline. He used this toy without incident for about 5 years, until it got lost in his bladder. There it stayed for 7 years until it migrated down into his scrotum.
