A man from Battle Creek, Michigan had to undergo a 14-hour operation to remove his 80-pound scrotum due to a rare condition called scrotal lymphedema. This left him in constant pain and struggling to walk, shower, or use the toilet. The condition also prevented him from having sex with his wife for seven years.
Initially, doctors were unable to determine the cause of his condition, until he saw a TLC show titled The Man with the 132lb Scrotum and reached out to Warren’s doctor, Dr Joel Gelman, at UC Irvine Medical Centre.
In 2014, Maurer underwent a 14-hour operation involving a team of eight surgeons and 12 support staff to remove 80lbs of tissue from his scrotum and around 70lbs of fat from his stomach.
Following the surgery, Maurer was able to live a more normal life and found tasks such as walking and having sexual relations easier. Dr Gelman noted that while massive scrotal lymphedema is a rare condition, they have treated men with this condition successfully for many years.

Do Men Buy Flashy Cars to Overcompensate? Study Finds Truth in Old Stereotype
A new study suggests there may be some truth to the old stereotype that men buy flashy sports cars to compensate for lacking in other areas. Researchers at a London university set out to explore if feelings of inadequacy about penis size motivate men to seek out symbols of virility like sports cars.
The team manipulated participants’ perceptions of their manhoods by presenting misleading information intended to make some men feel below average in endowment. These men were then more likely to express interest in buying a sports car, suggesting they may use conspicuous consumption to boost self-esteem.
The effect was strongest among men over 29, who showed statistically significant increased desire for sports cars after receiving small penis misinformation. The study indicates that age impacts mating strategies, with older men more motivated to showcase status to overcome perceived inadequacies.
This builds on earlier research finding sports cars help men attract dates but don’t necessarily signal long-term partner potential. The authors suggest further study into whether other luxury items similarly compensate for male insecurities.
Of course, flashy cars likely provide an ego boost regardless of the driver’s anatomy. But this study sheds light on the deep-seated psychology potentially at play for midlife men gripped by sports car fever. While pop culture has long joked about compensation, this research suggests a real link between feelings of inadequacy and conspicuous consumption.
After a tragic incident in which his penis was completely torn off, a man received a bionic replacementAfter a tragic incident in which his penis was completely torn off, a man received a bionic replacement
In 1972, Mo Abad was just six years old when he was pulled under a moving vehicle while walking home from a football game in Huddersfield. The accident left him with severe injuries to his groin, resulting in a fleshy tube for a penis, an inability to have sex, and the need to sit down to urinate. Mo, who now resides in Edinburgh, recounted in a conversation with LadBible last year that he was given a mere 12 hours to survive after the accident occurred. The impact had completely destroyed one testicle, while the other was pushed into his groin area.
Mo avoided discussing the incident for many years and refrained from forming intimate relationships with women, apprehensive about their potential reactions. However, his fortunes took a turn in 2012 when skilled surgeons implanted a £70,000 pump-up bionic bulge for him. The surgical team extracted skin from his arm and inserted an inflatable implant, enabling Mo to attain erections. By pressing a button located in the scrotum, two oblong-shaped balloons fill with saline solution, giving Mo the ability to achieve an erection.
This surgical intervention, known as a phalloplasty, was performed at University College Hospital in London, where surgeons complete an average of one bionic penis attachment per month.
Man gets jump-rope stuck in bladder after shoving it into his penisMan gets jump-rope stuck in bladder after shoving it into his penis
A 79-year-old man from Japan ended up with a 90-inch jump-rope stuck in his bladder after inserting it into his urethra. In a published September study in Urology Case Reports, doctors found that the rope became tangled in the man’s bladder, forcing him to seek medical attention for difficulty with urination. Medical professionals investigating the issue found a wire-like coiled foreign body in his bladder accompanied by acoustic shadows, leading to the man’s admission of what happened. The medical team found surgery to be the only way to remove the rope through an incision in the man’s abdomen. While the man did recover from the surgery, he is not the only person to suffer from penis-related issues, as another patient had a USB cable stuck in his penis in the same month.
