Is it true that in Thailand it is not uncommon for a woman, upon learning that her husband has been unfaithful, to chop off his penis and then proceed to feed it to the ducks? How are these women able to overpower their husbands to perform this task?? I remember hearing about this practice on the Jenny Jones show- which I have found to be a fairly reliable source of information- but I thought I would try to confirm it here. Thanks. ---

It’s certainly talked about in Thailand as happening frequently. I believe the preferred method is to wait until their husband/boyfriend drinks himself unconcious, rather than subdue him. Here’s a quote that seems quite legit: > [@](#): > > _from **TRAUMATIC AMPUTATION OF THE PENIS** an abstract published in the Brazil Journal of Urology by WACHIRA KOCHAKARN, Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Ramathibodi Hospital and Medical School, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand_ > Introduction and Objectives: Penile amputation is an uncommon injury and 87% of the patients had psychiatric problems. Since 1970 in Thailand there had been an epidemic of penile amputation as philandering punishment by humiliated wives. We reported on the surgical management of this injury. Patients and Indications for Repair: Our state of the art management of penile amputation is based on a review of 100 reported cases of which 25 were our patients. Penile reimplantation applies to all cases of amputated penis, providing that the amputated part is available or not completely destroyed. The amputated part can be maintained up to 16 hours or may be up to 24 hours at hypothermia. So, not that common, but a lot more frequent than gets press here in the USA. Here’s a [link for the morbidly curious](http://www.brazjurol.com.br/pdf/kochakarn_385_389.pdf). Note that there are some graphic diagrams and photos included. Blecch! ---
