A man was left in excruciating pain after a toothbrush he bizarrely shoved into his penis snapped during sex.

Doctors revealed the 43-year-old waited 12 hours before seeking medical attention for his eye-watering injury.

Grilled about why he had a toothbrush in his penis, the unnamed Indonesian man confessed to performing DIY surgery for his ‘sexual satisfaction’. Medics were told he first made a ‘small incision’ to insert toothbrushes in 2017.

But it is unclear whether the toothbrush in question had been in place since that time, or whether he had taken others out.

…

Medics said the man was discharged three days after surgery, reporting no issues.
