USB cables can be used in many ways, but ramming it into a penis is not one we recommend.

You could end up like this man from China, who was in an ‘incredible amount of pain’ after connecting himself to a cable.

Most people in Britain now want weed to be legal (for medical use, at least)

The man from China’s Shaanxi Province is thought to have been drunk when he started looking up ways of pleasuring himself.

He got this particular idea from a video and, predictably, it backfired – with the poor guy realising his mistake when he couldn’t remove it.

‘When the patient arrived he was in an incredible amount of pain.’



The procedure lasted longer than an hour, with surgeons slicing it into three sections (the cable, not the penis).

It is unknown whether the poor soul, who is recovering in hospital, has suffered long-term damage.

He told medics that he was very embarrassed and ‘regretful’.
