life without a penis

Would you choose to live with no penis

Reminds me of a story-

Little Jane's mom was watching the neighbor's kid, little Johnny for an afternoon. As kids are curious they did the ol' show me yours and I'll show you mine. Little Jane came running in to her mommy crying. "Mommy I don't have what Johnny has down here!"

With a sigh her mom said, "Honey when you grow older, with what you have down there you can have a dozen of what Johnny has down there."

Such is life....

I use to go to church with a guy who didn't have (a natural) one. As a kid he was injured in an accident and lost it. The doctors were able to create a Chaz Bono replacement. He's seemingly very happily married but no with kids. He and his wife spoke at church once on overcoming challenges. She says they have an active sex-life and she "can hardly tell there's any issue." Of course, he can't sense anything and the accident occurred when he was a young boy so he has never experienced any sexual sensation. I did get the impression he was curious as to what he's missing out on and possibly struggles with resentment toward a relative who caused the accident as it was more a a situation where it was callous horse-playing more than an true accident.

If all that's missing is the member, you'd think that he could still have kids. Is that by choice?

There is a thread about penis cancer being on the rise and it made me wonder if I would choose to die or have my penis removed. In my younger years I would say die with no hesitation but in my 60s now I would have to think about it a while.

It depends on what my situation in life was. If I was using my penis on a regular basis, I might just die because my wife or GF would deserve a shot at getting some. In my present situation, I might just go without (though I'm not completely without hope).
 
Some of my decision-making process would need to be adjusted, for one thing.

Considering that they use the penis in that surgery, I can't imagine how they would do it. You have to have puzzle pieces to complete a puzzle, and in this case, some of the pieces had cancer.

really? how does that work? IOW, where did the "penis" come from to turn Chasity Bono into Chaz Bono?

Not sure. I suppose that would depend on the severity of the injury, which I have no idea on. Shotgun injury.

Sorry, I had the wrong surgery. :D Still, there would be a lack of tissue to complete the surgery and I can't imagine where they would make up the difference, or how they would make it worthwhile. In any event, that surgery relies on a pump to get it hard, and it's not really a penis.

Yeesh. Say no more.

I was thinking that maybe it only effected the twig, rather than the berries. However, I somehow suspect that bird / buck shot probably isn't so discriminating. :(

There's stuff they can do I think. My guess would be stretching skin to create an excess similar to the extra skin gastric bypass surgery patients have. Then transplanting it to the region (unless its all originating in that area) and possibly sewing in some sort of rigid tubing and covering it with the extra skin.
 
When I have yet to use it on others, I would have an extremely hard time choosing :lol:
 
My baby brother is a heart surgeon. back when he was doing his general surgery residence, he got to take part in one of the few successful (if you can call it that) "hemicorporectomies". The patient was a gangbanger/drug dealer who had been paralyzed below the waist in a shootout. the guy's family didn't take proper care of him so he developed bedsores and gangrene in and around the pevis. The surgical team basically cut the dude in half at the waist. He had a custom-made wheelchair with a fake lower body in it with a cradle to support his upper torso.

Just over half the population of the world goes through life without a penis and manages well enough, don't they?

Do they, do they really? :mrgreen:

They can transplant anything these days.
Penis transplantation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lab-grown penis[edit]In 2006, researchers succeeded in replacing a rabbit's penis with one grown in a laboratory.[6] The penises were grown on a matrix from the rabbit's own cells, and contained nerves and blood vessels allowing them to become fully functional.

Agreed!

It sure would be weird trying to make decisions based on only one set of stimuli!
 
At 70, it would just be one less thing to wash and maintain. I sit to pee anyway so my biggest loss will be the freedom of the urinal in public facilities (where I pee standing).

Until I was around 67, I would have been upset by the development. Now, go ahead, take it and use it as you see fit. Give it wings and use it as a drone. Take it on a world tour as a flag-pole. Just send me a photo of Big Guy on Twitter from time to time.

"Just Shoot Me". In fact, I have a bullet in my dresser at home that's sole purpose is to end my life if I end up with Cancer, or any number of other diseases, maladies, or situations I have no interest in living through.

Pretty much agree. My need to fight ends with my chances to survive and still be of use to my loved ones. Once I see the odds slipping toward me being more a burden, that bullet goes into the chamber.
 
I've been living without one just fine. :2razz:

Very similar but slightly different. In my case it's both a matter of being a burden and not being able to maintain my personal responsibilities and duties as I see them. There are just certain things I don't want to live through, regardless of what the prognosis is on the other side.

Sure. Surviving what's discussed in the op being one of them.

I don't think this is worth thinking about until you are in this situation.

Are you sure? There has to be some disadvantages that you have encountered. The ability to urinate just about anywhere comes to mind. Just think what kind of possibilities exist when snow is involved. Other benefits come to mind that I won't mention.

Yeah but you have the counterpart apparatus, which from what I understand offers an exponentially more intense experience than what guys get to enjoy, but that's a different thread.
