Nobukhosi Ncube had the shock of her life when she found her lover's penis on the bed.

According to myzimbabwe.co.zw, Nobukhosi's live-in lover, Skhalazo Ndhlovu insisted on having sex in the dark throughout their relationship.

Nobukhosi said that the pain she experienced during intercourse was unbearable.

"The penis was too big and too strong. It was not like the penis of a human being," she said.

"At night when we had sex I couldn't see anything," said Nobukhosi.

But nine months into their relationship, Nobukhosi went to make the bed one morning and found the big plastic penis between the sheets.

"I found out my boyfriend was a woman like me," Nobukhosi said.

When asked for comment, Skhalazo said: "My girlfriend knew I'm a woman."
