Fla. Gay Man Says He's Happier After Removing Large Genitals
Winnie McCroy READ TIME: 2 MIN.
A South Florida man said that after decades of being tormented by his huge cock and balls, he's finally happy after having them removed.
The man, who describes himself as a gay submissive bear, said he still has great sex, and can still come -- only it just sort of dribbles out.
In an interview with Gawker the man, who goes by the name Gelding, was first made aware of his huge unit in high school, when a bully on the football team teased him for having a baby face, and giant nuts.
"He said, 'You have a man's equipment and you're still a boy,' and he squeezed my balls in the shower," Gelding told the website in a very, very in-depth interview.
That launched him into a destructive fetish stage where he would put rubber bands around his balls and needles through them. In 1991, he said he tried to castrate himself by numbing his scrotum with ice water, tying it off with rubber bands and cutting them off with a kitchen knife. He got about two-thirds of the way through when he drove himself to the ER, where doctors sewed him up.
Three years later, he tried again, with the help of an underground 'cutter.' He headed back to the ER, but on the way, his balls fell off. Good riddance, he though, and went back 10 years later in 2011, to have his penis removed. Now, he sports a tiny hole which pee comes through.
He identifies as a "nullo," a man who voluntarily removes his external genitalia, but said that his friend Mack in San Fran calls him a "mascunull," because he remains hairy, beary and very interested in sex.
"Guys who are aroused by my situation are very aroused," he said. "This one guy, he likes to go down on me. He's a bi guy and he said he does this with his girlfriend so he goes down there and starts licking me."
A straight guy likes to fuck him, because his lack of genitals isn't threatening. But mostly, said Gelding, he gets with gay men, which suits him fine.
Although he has to pee sitting down now, and is at higher risk for urinary track infections, he can still come.
"With ejaculation, just before you reach the peak, all the fluid is there at the base of the penis, and right before orgasm happens it's the urethra that acts like a rail gun and expels the semen," he said. "So when you don't use the penis, there's no force behind it. It just flows out."
