World's 1st Penis Transplant Done In South Africa

PolygamousRanchKid writes The world's first successful penis transplant has been performed by surgeons in South Africa, Bloomberg News reported Friday. The 21-year-old recipient has made a full recovery and regained all functions in the transplanted organ. The nine-hour operation was done Dec. 11 by surgeons from Stellenbosch University and Cape Town's Tygerberg Hospital, the university said Friday in a statement. The unidentified patient had his penis amputated three years ago in a life-saving procedure after he developed complications from a traditional circumcision. "Our goal was that he would be fully functional at two years and we are very surprised by his rapid recovery," said Dr. Andre van der Merwe, head of the university's urology division, who led the surgical team.

The ancient prophecies

have come true!

When I was a teenager, if we we didn't like some chick, we'd tell our friends "I wouldn't screw he with your dick!"

Now he will always do that

I'll bet masturbation is awkward to think about as well.

Around my teenage years, I got circumcised because of medical complications of having my foreskin. My parents let me make the decision.
