Man suffers permanently disfigured penis after getting it stuck in a padlock for TWO WEEKS: ‘Embarrassed’ Thai mother tells medics – ‘he likes putting it through small holes’
A Thai man has suffered a permanently disfigured penis after he got it stuck in a padlock for two weeks.
The bachelor, 38, clamped the metal device around the base of his genitalia in a bizarre sex act but he lost the key and his penis started to swell.
He tried and failed to remove the small padlock so left it on his penis for more than 14 days until it became infected and the pain was so unbearable that he was rushed to hospital in Bangkok, Thailand.

The mother said: ‘My son is a private person and he doesn’t have a girlfriend. He has been staying at home a lot during the pandemic because he is worried about going out.
‘He told me he did this because he was bored and he likes putting his ‘thing’ through small holes. I was angry at him for embarrassing me like this and I’ve told him not to do it again.’
Rescue officer Thongchai Donson said they received the emergency call but the injury was ‘worse than they expected’ and had to rush the man, who they would not name, to the nearest hospital.
Medics spent more than 30 minutes using an electric cutter to slice through the metal lock. They slid a thin sheet of metal between the bar and the man’s skin to prevent it from being cut and squirted water onto his body for lubrication.
Once it was released, they administered antibiotic cream and gave the man penicillin tablets.
Despite his penis now being released, medics said there could be lasting damage because of the amount of time the padlock was stuck. His penis has also been disfigured by the ordeal.
Thongchai added: ‘We received the emergency call and did not know the full detail…
