A CHEF whose ex bit off one of his testicles when he refused a threesome told how the horror has put him off casual sex.

Marcello Palma, 46, said he has less “trust” about jumping into bed with someone following the crazed attack by Nunzia Del Viscio, 44.

The reformed casanova, of Leith, Edinburgh, is newly single after splitting from the girlfriend he met after surgeons put his left testicle back in place with 15 stitches.

But despite insisting “everything is working fine”, he has no desire for a relationship or random hook-up.

Italian Marcello said: “A lot of things have changed. I trust less than I did before. Now I’m very selective.

“I’m not into finding any casual sex now — it’s a concern. Before I was not minding about with who. I was more free to have a situation with a woman I’d just met.”

We told last December how Del Viscio sunk her teeth into Marcello’s scrotum after a boozy party at his pad — leaving his testicle hanging by a thread.

She burst naked into a bedroom where Marcello had paired off with a female pal before lunging at his privates when he snubbed her demands to join in.

Marcello, who described the attack as the “worst experience of my life”, said he is able to enjoy nookie again.

He added: “I had sex the day I left hospital to see if it was working. I also had a normal sex life with my girlfriend. It was a surprise for her when I told her.”

Del Viscio was tagged and ordered to pay Marcello £500 compensation after being found guilty of assault at Edinburgh Sheriff Court.
