Man Receives First Penis Transplant in the United States

But I would think the last thing on the list of important things to do with it would be peeing standing up!

At the urinal guys don't want their buddies giggling at their GoGirl.

hahaha Or he could just use the toilet in the stall and have a seat!!

I am waiting for Kenny' s post... I am LOL aready just thinking about what he is going to say...

I don't have anything to say, beyond he is a very very lucky and a very very happy man ... but not as lucky and happy as his wife.

You see, I was the donor.

I've notice two problems with that.
1. The water's too cold.
2. The bowl's not deep enough.

OMG you sound like my dad! When we go fishing in the boat and he uses the can to pee he says "Ohhh I'd say it's about...18 feet deep or so..." or he'll say what the temperature of the water is. Must be a guy thing. So JD gets in on it too. "Ohh nope, you're not on the bottom-I'm touching bottom right now and it's at least 21 feet." They don't find it amusing when I tell them to shut up and put 'em away b/c the other boats think we're using worms as bait.

OMG I DO THE SAME THING ON MINE!!!

We don't bother with the can, straight over the side. I usually say something like 'feels there is some reef down there guys'

Then you'll have to be the next big donor.

Oy. I cannot imagine the lack of privacy about his privates that man is experiencing. I mean, COME ON. That has to be a violation of HIPPA. Although he appears to be waiving his rights to privacy by giving interviews. God forbid I had something like this done (thank you God for making me a woman), although I can't imagine what, I would keep it to myself. I wouldn't advertise.

And, okay... I KNOW that many people get organs from the recently deceased. But a dead guy's penis? I can't imagine wanting that thing anywhere near me!

Actually, one of the moms in my mommy group (in South Africa) cried when she heard about the first penis transplant. Her son was born without a penis. She feels that these transplants will give her son a chance at a normal life.

Just adding a different perspective.

In all seriousness, I'm sure it's a huge thing for many people. My issue is the privacy aspect. I don't get advertising this. KWIM? I like my privates to stay private.

No problem ... but people vary ... and ...

To quote the patient himself from the NY Times link in the opening post ...

"Mr. Manning welcomed questions and said he wanted to speak out publicly to help dispel the shame and stigma associated with genital cancers and injuries, and to let other men know there was hope of having normal anatomy restored.

“Don’t hide behind a rock,” he said."

Of course there will be sniggers galore but I admire him for speaking out.
Brave man.

The article did mention men who'd had pelvic injuries (military, etc.) accidents, and other issues. I know that this is a serious situation and not to be taken lightly. But making light of issues such as these very, very serious ones does need to happen sometimes because it helps everyone involved to talk about it. Ya know? My dad's really been through the ringer with colon cancer and if we as a family couldn't joke about the fart noises from his colostomy bag, well he would've probably succumbed a long time ago. Humor is a great part of humanity.
