John Wayne Bobbitt became an iconic figure in the history of
male castration fantasy in l993 when his wife Lorena cut off his penis and
threw it out of a car window. Naturally Lorena didn’t actually castrate John
since she didn’t cut off his testicles, but it is almost universally accepted
that severing a penis is tantamount to castration and even worse (though the
castrati who sang soprano parts in 16th century church choirs might have
testified otherwise).Needless to say the Bobbitt incident had a nefarious
effect on the dream life of many males since Bobbitt was attacked during a
drunken slumber and to quote the poet, “Lorena hath murdered sleep.” For many
American men the only experience of a severed penis prior to the Bobbitt
incidence came from walking though Greek wing of the Met and seeing the
dismembered statues. Apparently Bobbitt himself was no worse for the wear. His
penis was miraculously found and reattached and he went on to exploit the
incident by performing in adult films. John Wayne Bobbitt: Uncut is probably one of the most brilliant titles in
the history of porn and Bobbitt also went on to star in the movie Frankenpenis. Bobbitt also had a music
career as member of the band The Severed Parts.
