BBC reported a trial of men who had cut off body parts of other men.

One gave consent to having his penis and testicles cut off. Another his nipple and yet another his leg.

AIBU to wonder who is standing next to you in a queue in the post office?

There was a case twenty or thirty years ago where a group of men made their own videos. One of the videos appeared to show a man nailing another person's penis to a piece of wood.
In reality, the penis was already pierced and the nail did no damage but the person doing the nailing got charged as though he had. I think that's the origin o the 'consent is no excuse' view.

Nothing much surprises me anymore. The human race are deplorable!

@Ownedbykitties I don’t live far away from where these men (no pun intended) operated, so I might literally have been stood next to one of them in a queue at the post office.

Ugh.

YabbaDabbaDooooo · 15/01/2024 23:42

All these people skipping from thread to thread demanding warnings here, there and everywhere...

Do you manage to get through life without ever seeing a news report, or hearing one on the radio?

Just how do you get through life, and what are you doing on the internet since it's not exactly something that's full of warnings for everything?

Any cases of women doing this sort of thing to each other? No? Funny that ...

APickUpFullOfPinkCarnations · 15/01/2024 23:49

I've seen this case come up in news reports over the last few weeks and just can't begin to comprehend it. Just... why?!

Ohdojustfuckoff · 15/01/2024 23:50

What is even wicker is the fact that he had done the exact same operation to numerous men previously.
Atleast one of these men was actually a teenager 16, or 18, I can't quite remember.

The main one was actually called the eunic maker online apparently I read a few articles about him and this situation. I was bewildered and wanted to try and understand what the fuck makes someone do this to themselves, turns out I just had more questions the more I read

I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of men are very sick and most of it is all about sex. On the news today about the perverted men in Rochdale still getting their kicks grooming and raping children. It’s a sick world we live in…

I completely agree a think a lot of people are still absolutely devastated for them girls,the way they weren't belived how they were treated and still there is still men out there walking the streets not even been punished for the lifetime of pain they caused those girls.

In a therapy session once I spoke about my childhood and how it affects my opinions of men.and he threw me the line that not all men abuse children.i said maybe not but that not all men like seems to get thrown around a lot,and i think a lot of men see behaviors and things happening and they wont challenge other men on that.

Really is a sad world we live in and it's not getting any better much worse in some cases

Other than FGM, no I don't think so.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 15/01/2024 23:55

I assume this case is perverse sexual thrills, but they may have an element of severe MH problems as well.

I remember seeing a news article from many years ago now, where a surgeon in Falkirk amputated two people's 100% healthy legs (one leg each iirc), because the patients were convinced in their minds that the legs were diseased/harmful/deadly or similar.

It's entirely unethical to know full well that somebody needs mental healthcare and, instead, to give them wholly unnecessary and damaging physical 'treatment'. As is often pointed out on the trans 'affirming surgery' threads, no doctor would see a 5-stone adult patient with anorexia that makes her believe she is very overweight and deliberately facilitate/enable her to lose even more weight.

WestendGrrls · 15/01/2024 23:57

Yes this all sounds a lot like a case from years back, can't remember what happened there. It was also a group of men. There was also a video circulating on email some time in the early 2000s (possibly late 90s) that showed a man being nailed to a piece of wood as described above, along with an even worse one. There are some right wrong uns out there.

The older I get the more I realise men are fucking sickos.

I could show you a lot of videos that would evidence a lot of women are just as sick!

Gettingbysomehow · 16/01/2024 00:08

Not quite this awful but my once lovely exH got involved with fetish and almost overnight turned into a person I didn't know any more. Our marriage didn't last.
He chose the fetish over our fun and easy life and he has nothing now. What the heck?

Nothing surprises me in this world just when you see someone and you think wow that's messed up,you see something on the news that's really worse.serious question will some men literally go to any lengths for a bit of gratification?

Yes they will.

Fraaahnces · 16/01/2024 00:49

Bleurgh…. It’s very Jeffrey Dahmer. What the hell do these people do with the cut off bits? Make testicle earrings? One of those annoying dangly things hanging from the rear-view mirror in the car? 🤢

If you haven't realised that many humans have a propensity for weird shit and many humans are also mentally unwell, you've been living a very charmed life.

This.

Did everyone miss the guy who was happy to be killed as long as he was eaten?

And I don't agree that it's just men who are 'weirdos'.

TwoOfMine · 16/01/2024 02:40

You'd have be very vulnerable to allow another person to cut your dick, leg or nipple off let alone any other major body part

Very sad really

I mean there was the guy who advertised years ago that he was a cannibal and would someone allow him to eat them

Someone answered his ad and got eaten

In Germany I think

JanglingJack · 16/01/2024 02:41

Both men and women pay a LOT to see real time streamed 'snuff' movies.

Removing body parts is nothing really.

There's a fetish and then there is stone cold depravity and murder.

Oh, you haven't been on the Internet for long, have you? I've read quite a few times about women doing various things to try to lop off each other's / their own bits. It's apparently called Body Integrity Dysphoria (or Body Integrity Identity Dysphoria) among both men and women.

Though, there apparently is a "nullo" subculture which 1 source says has more men than women.

There was a documentary about it. Apparently the guy who answered the ad wanted to also eat his own penis but in the end he couldn't because it was too tough, so the guy who cut it off fried it for him but then it was too burnt. Then he died and the dog had it.
