Maasai man in Kenya reveals all
Saloon met his Kikuyu wife at school. She is now in hiding.
A Maasai man in Kenya has had his penis bitten off by his angry wife, who suspected him of adultery.
Saloon Ole Mewet from Ngong in southern Kenya said his spouse attacked him in his sleep. "She bit me and removed all of it," he told the BBC's Muchiri Kioi.
His shouts raised the alarm and he was taken to a local hospital by his neighbours where he received stitches.
It is an unusual admission, as Maasai men, who often beat their wives, do not like to lose face before their community.
"If you do not beat your wife it's taken that you're a hen-pecked husband, which is not allowed in our community," Maasai elder Johnson Ole Sipitiek told the BBC's Network Africa programme.
But Mr Mewet, who has reported the incident to the police, said he was so overcome with pain that he could not help but make a noise.
Unprecedented
On the evening of the assault, Mr Mewet returned home at 2200 and was beaten up by his wife just after he drifted off to sleep.
I don't know why she complained when I got another girlfriend
Saloon Ole Mewet After hitting her husband and knocking out his front teeth, Mrs Mewet bit off his testicles and despite his struggles when he awoke, chewed off his penis.
"I don't have a penis now," he explained, showing the BBC's reporter his wound.
Mr Mewet admitted he did have a girlfriend, but said he was at a loss to understand his wife's actions as she was aware that he had other girlfriends when they got married.
"She knew that I had many girlfriends, and I don't know why she complained when I got another girlfriend," he said.
According to Mr Mewet, castration is unprecedented in Maasai culture, as there is no traditional punishment.
"If you kill somebody you must pay 49 cows, even if you've removed somebody's tooth - it's one sheep. But this has never happened to a Maasai," he said.
Mr Mewet said he was left with no option but to pursue an action against his wife through the courts.
Mr Mewet's father said they planned to slaughter a sheep in the homestead in order to remove any dangers of a curse.
"Can anybody find me, somebody to love bite me?"
Apologies to Queen.
Is she related to Lorana Bobbitt, or maby Ferrory Dauhmer
The lengths some people will go to for revenge.
Fodder for the Oprah show.
Hold muh beer bump.
There once was a girl named Lorena
Whose husband could not have been meaner
He'd not let her come,
She said, "this is dumb"
And cut off the offending weiner.
The once was a man from Ngong
Who treated his wife rather wrong
She knocked out his choppers
And chewed off his wh**pers
Then finished by chomping his *******
Memo to self: Stop using "bite me" as put down because of increasing literal interpretations of hyperbole.
There's one point to this silly verse:
That paybacks are often perverse.
With no teeth for chewing
You know he's not doing
Female circumsision or worse.
I yield to your masterful limrickry.
Haiku at twenty paces next time? (Japanese rules, of course)
I just HATE when that happens!
There once was a gal from Ngong
whose hubby kept doing her wrong,
so one eve as he slept
she silently crept
to his bed and bit off his dong.
The message in all this is clear,
some women are far too austere,
so stop playing the field all you fellas,
or you'll make all your ladies get jealous,
and you will miss what you once held so dear.
