[Bryanforservice]

It truly is a wonder of modern medicine and likely a godsend for the poor young fella who needed it.

I wonder when this will move into the realm of cosmetic surgery.

Maybe there's hope for me yet.... :o

i assume this is from a cadaver rather than a donor. Although I have volunteered to give my penis to many men so you never know

A story in The Guardian mentioned the donor was deceased.

I could use a new one!! But I don't think I'd want to be on anti-rejection medications for the rest of my life. I mean it's one thing to be rejected by someone else's penis, but can you imagine how low you would feel being rejected for what was at least temporarily your own tallywacker?

Now why would I want to replace one dead penis with another???

This is certainly an interesting development. I was not aware of the problems in South Africa. I do have a friend who is a urologist who over the years has specialized in doing surgery on men's genitals to restore function after accidents in which the penis and or testicles have been seriously damaged. He says this is very difficult surgery, in large part because of the various nerves involved and the delicate tissues which serve so many different functions. He has indicated that the techniques that have been developed in the last few years have resulted in a much greater degree of success. He has also been a consultant to the military where injuries from mines often involve the legs and genitals. So here are three cheers for modern medicine and the men and women that devote their lives to provide restoration to a basic part of our humanity.
