For a sharp pair of butcher’s scissors, it wouldn’t be difficult. Mine (brought home from work when I closed the meat packing plant) will easily cut both flesh and bone of a raw chicken breast. When they’ve recently returned from the knife guy, most of my kitchen knives could amputate a finger, toe or penis. Once you leave the kitchen, there’s a vast array of garden shears and knives, hunting knives, survival knives and leather working knives that would get the job done. Makes you think twice about getting dead drunk after pissing off that special someone in your life, doesn’t it? 😃 ---

“The two of us forever.” _In the Realm of the Senses_ (French: _L’Empire des sens,_ Japanese: _愛のコリーダ_, Ai no korīda) is a 1976 French-Japanese art film directed by Nagisa Oshima. It is a fictionalised and sexually explicit treatment of an incident from 1930s Japan, that of Sada Abe. It generated great controversy during its release;[3] while intended for mainstream wide release, it contains scenes of unsimulated sexual activity between the actors (Tatsuya Fuji and Eiko Matsuda, among others). Plot: In 1936 Tokyo, Sada Abe (Eiko Matsuda) is a former prostitute who now works as a maid in a hotel. The hotel’s owner, Kichizo Ishida (Tatsuya Fuji), molests her, and the two begin an intense affair that consists of sexual experiments and various self-indulgences. Ishida leaves his wife to pursue his affair with Sada. Sada becomes increasingly possessive and jealous of Ishida, and Ishida more eager to please her. Their mutual obsession escalates to the point where Ishida finds she is most excited by strangling him during lovemaking, and he is killed in this fashion. Sada then severs his penis, walks around with it inside her for weeks, and writes, “Sada Kichi the two of us forever,” in blood on his chest. from a YouTube photomontage of the film (2:30-et seq. most relevant to this thread). https:// youtu.be/B-zcoRkkTH8 NSFW (even in YouTube) unless you work in artsy film. I remember seeing it when it was released, and waiting for the chop-chop, but not much else. A decade and change later I saw _The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, & Her Lover_ (1989) and two decades later saw _Antichrist_ (2009) (also with REAL sex). Each a can-you-top-this. Three eye-rinse movies. ---

[QUOTE=grude] I didn’t see how pulling the penis tight enough wouldn’t instantly jolt you awake, but pass out drunk would do it. [/QUOTE] If the assailant doesn’t just grab and yank, some little reptilian corner of the victim’s brain will be thinking “Ooh baby… yeah…” Don’t need to be passed-out drunk for that to work. 🆒 ---

I’m quite surprised that people think this would be difficult. Except for the holding him down part, it would be a piece of cake, except with blood. ---
