Don’t worry, this is a dummy penis (Picture: CEN)

Firefighters have to prepare themselves for some pretty hairy situations.

Well, over in Germany, they’re doing exactly that.

It’s all down to the love of butt plugs and penis rings in the country, which has left firefighters in high demand.

Because every so often, the sex toys get a little too attached to their owners and require urgent removal.


But getting rid of a stuck penis ring or butt plug is no easy task – it requires delicate care and attention.

It means firefighters have to be trained properly before they can tackle such an emergency.

At a seminar for 600 firefighters in Dresden, east Germany, firefighters learned exactly that.



Images from the course show trainees around a dummy with a lifelike dildo emerging through a heat shield blanket.

On this occasion, a penis ring was trapped on the shaft of the dummy’s ‘manhood’.

The seminar – titled ‘Maschinenunfaelle’ (‘Mechanical Failures’) – showed them how to remove the ring without harming the unfortunate man.

Instructor Eric Forberg, 39, explained: ‘Sensitivity and delicate work counts.’

First, the penis is bandaged to prevent injuries from flying sparks and then a paste – able to absorb up to 4,000 degrees Celsius – is spread on the penis ring to prevent burns.

A spatula is then inserted between the member and the ring before it can be cut off with a grinder.

The delicate procedure should take less than 15 minutes, say experts.

Rescuers have been called to free crochet needles stuck in a man’s urethra, a penis trapped in a bottle neck, and even an apple inserted up a man’s backside.

One weightlifter in Worms, west Germany, spent three hours having his penis removed from the central hole of an iron weight.

The 2.5kg weight had to be shattered using a grinder and then cut up with a vibrating saw.

Firefighters on the course say the training is no laughing matter.

Trainee, Matthias Lehnigk, 36, said: ‘The training is not fun for us, but rather requires the utmost concentration.

‘The patient is in enough pain, after all.’
