Does anybody remember the Bobbits? I think that was the first time I have ever heard of a penis being severed.
To "bobbittize" a man, is the act of a scorned, angry or mental woman cutting off his penis, for revenge. The act of bobbittizing a man comes from the sordid marriage of John Wayne Bobbitt and his crazy wife, Lorena Bobbitt.
They had difficult relationship which gained worldwide notoriety for an incident in 1993 when Lorena severed or bobbittizd John's penis with a knife. The penis was subsequently surgically re-attached.
During the night of June 23, 1993, John Wayne Bobbitt arrived at the couple's home in Manassas, VA, highly intoxicated after a night of partying. He then raped his wife Lorena. Afterwards, she got out of bed and went to the kitchen. There she noticed a carving knife on the counter and "memories of past domestic abuses raced through her head." She re-entered the bedroom where John was sleeping and proceeded to cut off or "bobbittize" approximately 2.5cm, nearly half of his penis.
After assaulting her husband, Lorena left the apartment with the severed penis, drove a short while, then rolled down the car window and threw the penis into a field. Realizing the severity of the incident, she stopped and called 911. After an exhaustive search, the penis was located, packed in ice, and taken to the hospital where John Bobbitt was being treated.
His cock was reattached during a nine-and-a-half-hour operation.
