Buddhist monk cuts off penis and renounces refix
Wed Nov 22, 6:23 AM ET

BANGKOK (Reuters) - A Thai Buddhist monk cut off his penis with a machete because he had an erection during meditation and declined to have it reattached, saying he had renounced all earthly cares, a doctor and a newspaper said on Wednesday.

The 35-year-old monk, whose name was withheld for privacy reasons, allowed medical staff at Maharaj hospital, 780 km (480 miles) south of Bangkok to dress his wound, but refused reattachment, hospital chief Prawing Euanontouch said.

"We cleaned up the wound, gave him some stitches, but he declined to have it reattached because he said had abandoned everything," Prawing told Reuters by telephone.

Prawing declined to comment on the monk's erection, which Bangkok-based Kom Chad Luk tabloid reported on its Web site.

Without the hose, wouldn't you pee all over the place? I'd imagine it would be kinda messy around a urinal...

LOL. A lot of those monks are anything but chaste. When I was in Thailand, they were constantly hitting on my friend and I.

Well, he get ten points for determination, and loses ten thousand for sheer insanity.

ooooh * crosses legs* why did he have an erection LOL i wonder what he was thinking about.

I gave this a little more thought. Even if he has thingy cut off, it doesn't mean that he'll be able to stop thinking about the stuff that gave him a boner in the first place...so I thought it's kind of like cheating to remove the apparatus that would physically show his psychological weakness, immorality or whatever they wanna call it...

The thing is, you don't have to be thinking about anything..much less something sexual...to get a boner! Which makes this act even more stupid. This guy needs more than just medical help. Very fucked up.
