Man shares experience after losing penis in motorcycle accident
Man opens up about life post-accident, mental struggles, and marital support
A man who lost his penis in a terrible accident has shared the most common question people ask him.
Unlike a lucky individual who survived a snake bite in Thailand, this 33-year-old man turned to Reddit to discuss how doctors had to remove most of his genitalia following a tragic incident.
He revealed he “lost his wiener four years ago” and invited users to “ask him anything” on the platform. He also mentioned, “I am still married to my sweet wife though.”
Describing the incident, he explained, “It was a motorcycle accident. I was hit by a pickup truck. The bike was destroyed, and something sharp pierced my thigh and split my wiener.”
Doctors attempted reconstruction, but an infection a week later led to amputation. He nearly died from the infection and is now too scared to undergo further reconstruction.
The accident’s aftermath and subsequent mental health struggles were extremely challenging. He wrote, “Mentally, the first year was awful. I spent a lot of time with my therapist. I felt I was no longer a man, didn’t want to stay married, and felt I could never look at my wife again.”
He added that while the sexual desire remains, he has had to suppress it, especially initially, and still grapples with depression but has learned to cope.
One frequent question he gets is about his sex life. Many wonder if he can still be sexually aroused and ejaculate. He shared that he still produces semen at climax, saying, “It just oozes out of me. My wife finds it amusing, but I think it’s weird.”
In the thread, he also offered advice to others dealing with the loss of their ‘sex characteristics.’ He wrote, “The big turnaround for me happened when I stopped taking myself seriously. I still remember the self d**kless joke I made with my brother. It was so liberating.”
He also stressed the importance of surrounding oneself with genuinely supportive people and advised, “Look after yourself like someone you’re responsible for. Do for yourself what you’d do for someone else in your place.”
