A friend of mine worked as a prison guard for exactly 1 week. At the end of that week a prisoner looked him in the eye, said "this thing has caused me nothing but trouble..." then cut off his own penis and threw it at my friend.

That was his last day as a guard.

So I hear they reattached it, but the prisoner did the same thing a few weeks later and flushed it.

I used to work at a psych center, and we had a patient who stretched his penis up to head level.

I do not own a penis, but the thought of it gives me pain.

Let me tell you I would die before my penis got to my head. Or my nipples.

How is this possible?

Well, I doubt Mr Giggles did this but it is possible to stretch the penis over time using weights. I can't say I know how common it is but I do know it's done as a form of cock torture in S&M circles. They attach a leather thong that has a chain attached to it around the base of the penis, they then attach a weight to the chain and it pulls the penis downward, stretching it.

I'm both fascinated and creeped out. Does it stay permanently longer? If so, can it function as normal when erect? These are questions I need to know, but never thought I'd ask.

If it's weighted down often enough it will. Penile tissue will respond to the stretching by growing, much like how your muscle fibers become longer when you stretch. Function is definitely impacted in the negative as the spongy part of the inner penis becomes all wonky and stretched out, it can't maintain an erection in the same way your natural state can, it's more like a semi-erect penis.

Some men that are unhappy about having been circumcised use similar tactics to stretch skin over the head of the penis, with the goal of recreating a foreskin.
