Abstract

Various metallic and non-metallic objects are placed over the penis to increase sexual performance or because of sexual gratification. Hypersexuality can be cause of such bizarre behaviors. We present two cases of perversion due to hypersexual behavior. One patient used a hard plastic disposable cold drink bottle nozzle over his penis for masturbation which resulted in strangulation of the penis. In the 2^nd case, a constricting ring was used to prolong the erection which resulted in necrosis of penile skin. Both cases were managed successfully.

Keywords
