Mao Sugiyama, a self-described "asexual" from Tokyo, cooked up, seasoned and served his own genitalia to five diners at a swanky banquet in Japan last month, Calorie Lab reported.
In most cases, "asexual" is a word used to describe a person who is non-sexual. Sugiyama, however, embraces it as a way to show that he does not affiliate with either gender.
Sugiyama sparked a firestorm of interest on April 8 with one tweet:
"[Please retweet] I am offering my male genitals (full penis, testes, scrotum) as a meal for 100,000 yen …Will prepare and cook as the buyer requests, at his chosen location."
Just days after Sugiyama's 22nd birthday, the artist underwent elective genital-removal surgery, divvied up the severed penis shaft, testicles, and scrotal skin between five people, and garnished it with button mushrooms and Italian parsley.
On April 13, five of six diners who signed up for the $250-a-plate feast, sat down to dinner. The sixth person was a no-show.
The next day, an organizer posted a blog -- subsequently deleted -- containing pictures of the event. Images showed dozens of people who attended the event just to catch a glimpse of the rare treat.
The extra diners were served crocodile-based dishes while Sugiyama cooked up the exclusive meal.
Strange folks walk the earth!!! And personally eating that sounds nasty!!! Not enough toothpaste and mouthwash in the world to rinse that out!!
And yet people give *** every day.
Personally... I'd rather keep my *** intact and on my person regardless, but only $1500? Seems low, wonder if it even covered the cost of the surgery.
Hell no.. Anesthesia is expensive as hell, and 1,500 wouldn't cover it. Never mind the surgeon or nurses or all the other stuff used (a bag of saline is hundreds of dollars <_<;;; or was when my wife got hit by a car)..
... Just what the ***? Why would anyone want to do that? Why would anyone want to eat that!? Cannibals, where are you? Please explain!
someone insane enough to want extreme publicity any way possible /shrug remember 2 years ago when a man killed himself on his webcam for the whole world to see him dying?
You can find quite a few videos of people killing themselves in front of webcams on the interwebs.
Same with guys mutilating their genitalia, lots of stuff out there, big fetish for a lot of people. Worst kind would be cutting/removing/eating parts of it. Idc if it's just a fetish thing or if that guy actually sees it as an art act.
The really weird part is that people were actually ok with him doing that :/
Well, there's a big festival here every year for Rocky Mountain Oysters. It's called the Testicle Festival. And I don't mind the people that do partake, but I never could bring myself to. I can't imagine eating bull testicles, let alone human ones. :x To each their own I suppose, although that's creepily close to cannibalism. Ick.
