Johns Hopkins performs the first total penis and scrotum transplant
The first US penis transplant was successfully performed in 2016. Last year, a uterus transplant recipient gave birth for the first time in the US, too. Now, doctors at Johns Hopkins University have successfully transplanted an entire penis and scrotum to a young serviceman who sustained injuries in Afghanistan resulting in the loss of his genitals.
Doctors perform first penis transplant in the US
Thomas Manning from Halifax, Massachusetts lost most of his penis to a rare form of cancer in 2012. He likely never imagined he'd gain the organ back, but the 64-year-old bank courier has become America's first penis transplant recipient. A surgical team from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) performed the 15-hour operation on May 8th and 9th after perfecting their technique for three full years. Manning "continues to recover well, with blood flow established to the donor organ and no signs of bleeding, rejection or infection," the hospital said in a statement.

America's first penile transplants will be for war veterans
Arms and legs aren't the only appendages that American servicemen lose to IEDs but, thanks to a pioneering surgical technique, injured soldiers will soon have the option of replacing their war-damaged wedding tackle. A team of surgeons from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine announced on Sunday that within a year (more likely, just a few months) their facility will begin performing penis transplants. American veterans will be their first patients.
Pioneering surgery gives man world's first 'bionic' penis
When Edinburgh, Scotland resident Mohammed Abad was six years old, he was involved in a horrific car accident. He was struck by a vehicle and then dragged nearly 600 feet (180 meters), tearing his tallywhacker (and left testicle) clean off. But thanks to advances in modern medicine, and a dedicated team at the University of London, Abad will soon have a bionic penis that puts Steve Austin's junk to shame.
This cock ring quantifies your sex life
There are fitness trackers for your head, torso, wrist and calves, and then there are fitness trackers for your genitals. Drawing inspiration from Bondara's conceptual SexFit, Lovely is a cock ring wearable device that'll pull triple duty as an erotic toy, priapic activity monitor and sexual performance coach. Simply slide your penis into the hardware, get banging away and, when you're done, a mobile app will tell you your score. Statistics that are recorded by the device include the calories you've burned, the force of your thrusting and even your top speed. The software will even look at your performance and come up with one of 120 new positions that you can try next time out.
Laboratory-grown penises will be available in five years, say researchers
No snark here, dear readers: We sincerely hope you never lose a body part, especially not a reproductive organ. In the event that do you suffer a terrible accident, or if you were born with some kind of abnormality, there's a team of researchers dedicated to making sure patients not only recover these organs, but go on to live normal lives. That group comes from Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, where scientists are not only working on lab-grown vaginas, but also testing laboratory-made penises. If all goes according to plan, they should be ready for use in about five years.
Politics and the flying penis
Garry Kasparov (former World Chess Champion, now writer and political activist) got himself buzzed by a flying penis during a political speech. Only it didn't happen in the virtual world of Second Life, where such an event has happened before. This one took place at Amber Plaza in the vicinity of Novoslobodskaya metro station in Moscow. The phallus was an artificial one, thankfully. Which all just goes to show that people are no more or less weird out in the physical world than they are in Second Life or any virtual world. Our prediction? You'll see more and more of this sort of thing. Flying penises are about people, not about places. You can click on the image for more visuals. NSFW and all that.

NSFW: Austrian PS3 ad replaces penis with thumb
There's a saying that all advertising is good advertising. Perhaps this example will prove to be true. This Australian Austrian ad for PS3 uses a nude man whose penis has been replaced by a thumb. The imagery is clearly NSFW so we can't put it on our site, but you can check it out at Ads of the World (if you so choose).Perhaps the image is so provocative that the tiny "PLAYSTATION 3" text at the bottom will be seared into our minds. We don't know exactly how this ad would be effective, but that's for the folks at TBWA\Wien to explain to SCEE.[Via Gizmodo]Update: Austrian, not Australian. Whoops.
