Bobbitry
Bobbitry The name given to the act of cutting off a man's penis by a woman, usually an outraged, double-crossed wife. The term derives from a famous case in the US involving John Bobbitt, who successfully had his penis regrafted back in place. Occasional cases of penicide have been reported from China, Japan, and Australia, but in Thailand the practice has reached epidemic proportions, with around 100 cases in a decade, so much so that penis reimplantation has become a surgical speciality.
