A Japanese artist cooked his own genitals and served them to five paying diners in Tokyo to cover the medical costs, in a bizarre act to raise awareness about sexual minorities.
Mao Sugiyama had his penis and testicles surgically removed in March and kept them frozen for two months before dishing them out — seasoned and braised — to customers at an event hall on May 13, according to postings on his Twitter account and local police.
Diners paid 20,000 yen ($250) for the plate with a portion of genitals. Pictures published on a website appeared to show the meal came complete with mushrooms and a parsley garnish.
Sugiyama, who considers himself “asexual”, that is without gender, initially thought about eating the genitals himself, but decided to solicit paying customers to help pay his hospital bills for the surgery.
In an email to AFP, he confirmed the event had taken place and said it was organised to raise awareness about “sexual minorities, x-gender, asexual people”.

At my age I know my genitals are all but worthless, wonder if I could sell them for a good price? Ebay?
Relax. Just kidding folks. I will take my genitals (worthless as they might be) to my grave, after all they have been with me so long.
Well, that's about all he can raise now.
Mt. Fuji oysters.
How odd.
“Sugiyama, who considers himself “asexual”...”
Well, now, yeah.
Thought about eating them himself. This is the most disgusting story that did not involve a crime that I can ever remember reading.
Is there anything lower than cannibalism?
Tough to chu....
I’m reminded of a line by the late, great Rodney Dangerfield.
Do you know a definition of trust ?
Two canibals having oral sex.
They do some weird s*** in Japan...
Why is it that so many demand we must humor profound mental illness if sexuality is involved?
Blech.
Hot dogs and beans!
I’m thinking more along the lines of the boxer doing essentially the same pose, captioned “Are you serious?!?! You can’t lick your own...?”
Apparently the whole nuclear reactor thing did have serious effects on the Japanese people.
