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.

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.
Austin Man Sentenced to Probation for Violent Assault Following Indecent ExposureAustin Man Sentenced to Probation for Violent Assault Following Indecent Exposure
AUSTIN, Texas – A Travis County judge has sentenced 28-year-old Gabriel Brown to five years of probation for a 2021 assault that left a woman with a broken leg after she confronted him for indecent exposure.
The incident occurred when the victim discovered Brown masturbating outside her ground-floor apartment window. Upon confrontation, Brown chased the woman, causing her to fall and sustain a serious leg fracture.
In addition to probation, District Court Judge Brenda Kennedy ordered Brown to register as a sex offender and complete a sex offender treatment program. The Travis County District Attorney’s Office confirmed that prosecutors had sought a prison sentence, but acknowledged the court’s decision fell within the sentencing guidelines for the charges brought against Brown.
The case has concluded with heightened scrutiny on the application of probation in offenses involving violence and sexual misconduct.
Doctor ‘cuts off man’s penis’ after mistaking syphilis for cancerDoctor ‘cuts off man’s penis’ after mistaking syphilis for cancer
A man from Italy is seeking €400,000 (£354,000) in compensation after surgeons allegedly wrongly amputated his penis, believing it to be cancerous. It was later discovered that he had a form of syphilis that could have been treated with medication. The surgery occurred in November 2018 at San Donato Hospital in Arezzo, Tuscany, and the patient, now 68 years old, intends to take the 35-year-old urologist responsible to court. A preliminary hearing in a court in Arezzo next month will determine whether the case will proceed to trial. The man has requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the situation and claims to have suffered significant physical and psychological harm. The surgeon, who is highly respected, no longer works at the Tuscany hospital but now operates in a Milan hospital. According to local newspaper Corriere di Arezzo, the man’s experience was both painful and embarrassing.
