A man who lost his penis in an awful accident has revealed the one thing people always ask him.
Unlike the lad who had a fortunate ending to being bit by a snake in Thailand, one individual took to Reddit to share how doctors were forced to remove the majority of his manhood after a devastating accident.
The 33-year-old, who 'lost his wiener four years ago', recently took to the popular social media platform with the request that users could 'ask him anything'.

Though he prefaced the thread by noting: "I am still married to my sweet wife though."
Beginning with how the horrific incident happened in the first place, the anonymous man explained: "It was a motorcycle accident. Got hit by a pickup truck. The bike got ruined and something sharp jammed on my tight and split my wiener.
"Doctors did a reconstruction but it got infected a week later and the whole thing had to be amputated, I nearly died from it. I can get one constructed but I’m terrified from the infection and can’t got through with it yet."
The accident was one thing, but the aftermath and the mental health problems the man subsequently suffered were extremely difficult.
"Mentally, the first year was awful and I have spent so much time with my shrink. I felt I was no longer a man and didn’t want to stay married and felt I could never look at my wife again," he wrote.
"The sexual desire was and is there but I have tried a lot to suppress it, especially in the beginning because well you know why. I still get depressed about it but I have learned to cope for the most part."
There is one question that often crops up for the anonymous man, and that is related to his sex life.
Many ask him if he can still be sexually aroused and ejaculate despite losing his penis.
Well, he said he still produces semen at the point of climax.
"It just oozes out of me. My wife gets a kick out of it but I find it weird," the man admitted.
Elsewhere in the thread, the man provided advice to others who are losing their 'sex characteristics'.
"The big turn around happened for me when I stop taking myself seriously. I still remember the self d**kless joke I made with my brother. It was so liberating," he wrote.
"Also so crucial to surround yourself with people who are genuinely interested in your happiness.
"Look after your self like someone you’re responsible for. Do for you want you’d do for someone else in your place."
