Copper wire
This was told to me by a friend who's a doctor and who has seen her fair share of injuries. Male readers may find it difficult to read without squinting - and, come to think of it, so will the girls.

A&E units are replete with stories about men who have caught their wangs in the hoover, or girls who've shoved bottles up themselves. That's all par for the course to some extent - though the "I fell over while cleaning and naked" story does try the patience. Someone who is honest about the origin of the injury gets more respect.

So: one evening, a guy gets admitted with injuries to his penis. My friend was on duty and had to take his history. He looked embarrassed, but didn't attempt any bullshit.

He had decided that he would get his jollies by feeding ( - Oh, hell... it's difficult to write this - ) a length of copper wire down his penis.

Feeling uncomfortable yet? It gets better/ worse.

Not content with feeding the wire down, he decided that a warm wire would be better - so he lit a match and held it to the protruding end.

What he hadn't taken into account was the conductivity of copper wire - hence the trip to hospital with burns to the urethra.

It was a long time ago that I was told that story - but it still makes me queasy. Apologies.

*wince*
When you mentioned insertion of copper wire it was bad. When you said it got worse I was thinking it was going to involve applying a battery to it ... I think the match is probably worse.
