OT, but this begs for correction (and the question has been well answered by others, anyway). Taut. Pull taut.
You are probably right, but you have a third hand? Damn I feel cheated!
I didn’t see how pulling the penis tight enough wouldn’t instantly jolt you awake, but pass out drunk would do it.
Thanks!
I was using a slicing motion, and the exercise band might if anything be easier to cut than a penis. My sticking point was how fast it has to be, we’re talking split second for the tug and cut unless the guy is black out drunk or high. I assume man accuses wife of lacerating penis or man comes to hospital with a partially severed penis and claims accident out of shame don’t make international news though.
You would not want to watch movies or TV with me, unrealistic violence drives me batty unless the media is clearly action movie fantasy. I was recently watching the show Rome which strove for historical authenticity in the setting seemingly, then comes a gladiator scene where heads and limbs are cleanly cleaved and flying in one motion with a swing of a dull looking sword that had all the heft of yard raking.:mad:
Some morbid and depressing research on youtube or liveleak of real footage of violence will prove it to be laughable, I mean hell the Daniel Pearl vid for a famous example.
The knife has to be strong? I wanna see a penis that can dull or snap a butcher’s knife.
Not what Lorena used though, see pic I posted earlier. But if true that John slept through his penis being severed, she could have been sawing away for all I know.
It isn’t that the knife would break or dull, it is that most people don’t have sharp professional quality knives at home and in a non-intoxicated individual you’d only get one slice before they scream and flail violently I’d assume after which you won’t be able to finish the job.
If I really wanted to do it right I’d get the lopping shears.
Hard to believe that among all us Dopers, there isn’t a country boy who butchers his own beef and could therefore answer the question of material properties.
[sub]How many slices does it take to get through a Tootsie roll?[/sub]
:eek:
Where do I go to have the brain cells destroyed where that picture is now stored.
I tried to call Lorena Bobbitt to ask about this question, but I got cut off.
This may well be the most uncomfortable thread I have read on the SDMB.
Well, at least part of me is uncomfortable.
And no, I do not want to see this on Mythbusters. I don’t want to see it anywhere.
What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbit?
“You gonna eat that?”
How about one of those cigar cutters? I see them every once in a while as a torture instrument to lop off fingers
It’s not ‘professional chef quality’ that matters, but rather, how sharp you keep pretty much any piece of steel. I’ve been keeping pocket knives since I was a kid 40something years ago, some dirt-cheap, shaving sharp with less than an hour of work every couple of months. Even cheap steel will slice your finger to (and nick) the bone. I’ve got the scars to prove it. It doesn’t even have to be steel. Your dick won’t even slow down a sharp piece of torn aluminum beer can. Or broken glass. Cross your legs, and fear Lorena’s wrath!
An aborted thread:[sup]*[/sup]
A man’s penis is cut off with a scissors, reattached, and soon cut off again. How well can he run?
Submitted as the faint distant wails of a zombie who never got to be a zombie.
*Pathetic plaint on what might have been:
[spoiler]I jus wanna say that Colibri closed with a stinging flourish my similar hypothetical OP about penile surgery, occasioned immediately following the China event, because it was “sensationalist” and didn’t belong in this forum–even though I was perfectly well aware of its potentially different directions.
But, as I recently stated in ATMB, I’m not mad at him. Well maybe a little.[/spoiler]
That would be ‘3’.
The knife wouldn’t have to be professional quality. You can put a surgically sharp edge on practically any old knife. It’ll just dull much faster than a really good one.
Or torn aluminum beer can, or broken glass. As I said, above. It only takes one quick-and-easy cut.
Hey, dude… Where’d your dick go?
Yep, sorry. Beat me to it. 
You’re forgiven, but I’m crossing my legs, just in case.
