A 4-year-old boy who secretly began onanising to his father’s porn collection is set to have his penis amputated after it succumbed to catastrophic necrosis.

The young boy, a resident of Hong Kong, had secretly began watching his father’s porn collection (allegedly Japanese) on his PC.

He attempted to stimulate himself, but things soon went awry and his parents were alerted by a terrible shriek and discovered him bleeding profusely from his nether regions, with the video still playing.

He was swiftly hospitalised, but doctors found most of his penis to have already succumbed to necrosis and they felt they had no choice but to amputate it. Just how long he had been doing this is not clear.

Even very young infants are perfectly capable of sustaining an erection. According to a local university urology department, extremely early attempts at onanism (which can result in orgasm but not actual ejaculation) can result in testicular atrophy and damage to the spongiform tissues of the penis, which can progress to tissue death (necrosis). Mild cases can result in impotence, whilst severe cases can require amputation.

The parents expressed their shock that their boy would do such a thing, describing him as a clever, affectionate boy who enjoyed watching “Sailor Moon.” They collapsed in tears, lamenting his future inability to have children.

They are said to considering the possibility of having him surgically altered into a “female” rather than deal with the prospect of a useless penis-less male child.
