A man was left in excruciating pain after a toothbrush he bizarrely shoved into his penis snapped during sex.
Doctors revealed the 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention for his eye-watering injury.
Grilled about why he had a toothbrush in his penis, the unnamed Indonesian man confessed to performing DIY surgery for his ‘sexual satisfaction’. Medics were told he first made a ‘small incision’ to insert toothbrushes in 2017.
But it is unclear whether the toothbrush in question had been in place since that time, or whether he had taken others out.
…
Medics said the man was discharged three days after surgery, reporting no issues.

You got up at 4 in the morning and decided to post it. You know you could have not?
It’s worse, I stayed up to post that! Took ages to cache too.
All that time passed, and at no point you thought “maybe I should just not?”
You know something? You’d feel better for the better sleep had you not. We’d also feel better if we didn’t spit out our cereal this morning reading what you posted. It would have been a win-win. But you chose chaos. You decided to make the world a worse place for both of us. How do you live with yourself?
