Nail Clipper Circumcision

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Wendy/Darwin says, "What is it that makes these penis predicaments popular? If someone needs medical treatment and can't afford it, he might well attempt a DIY medical procedure. Circumcision might easily be mistaken for a simple procedure, since infants are routinely circumcised without anaesthetic, often at home, with one quick slice. It is a more serious matter to be circumcised as an adult, but who knew? Although titillating and ill-advised, this incident is not going into the archive."

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

A man who gave himself a DIY circumcision using nail clippers was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.

The young man had to be rushed to the Lister Hospital in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. The wound was disinfected to cleanse it before he was given a bed in an observation ward.

"This is something we would advise men never to attempt," a medic said, "The results can be quite horrific and long-lasting and have quite an affect on a man's sexual performance.

"Using a pair of nail clippers must have caused excruciating pain, even if he had had a few drinks beforehand."

**Since he didn't castrate himself, it's worth at least an honorable mention.

OUCH! What WAS this guy thinking? A little too embarrassed to ask a doctor to do it the right way? Well now he's got more publicity then he could ever askfor. Thanks!
