How does that apply?

The man was rushed to the hospital, but doctors were unable to reattach the severed member, the official added, citing the police report filed after the incident.

Needless to say, he will most likely live his remaining days unattached.

Was this act a violation of the Egyptian Penile Code?

He used a hot knife, according to the story, which tends to argue that he really meant this to be permanent.

I recall reading (some time ago) a text I picked up in a remainder bin. It was written by a female rabbi...There was a cult of pagans who in "goddess worship" would require the adherents to castrate themselves. The text reads: "Custom decreed that they would fling the part [penis] into a house, and the inhabitants of that house would have to provide the new initiate with women's clothing." this was in "worship" of Ishtar or Astarte...(these cults became particularly popular in Greek and Roman times..)

Quote:

Well, that explains it...

Perhaps he's gone Skoptsy

From the Khlysty came the Skoptsy, who believed that Adam and Eve were created sexless, and that reproduction organs only appeared after humanity had been tempted by Satan. Accordingly, in order "to avoid sexual temptation and sin" the group's men castrated themselves. Just to be on the safe side, they also cut off women's breasts.

The sect also distorted biblical texts, referring to Christ not as the redeemer (iskupitel) but the castrator (oskopitel), and stated that Jesus had himself been relived of his sexual organs by John the Baptist.

The late Russian academic Andrei Sinyavsky claimed in "Ivan the Fool - Russian Folk Belief" that the Skoptsy believed that anyone who castrated twelve people was guaranteed a place in heaven, irrespective of any other sins he may have committed. Soviet dissident Sinyavsky, in his quite remarkable study of Russian religious history, wrote that they even went so far as to pay peasants to let them "strike off the serpent."

Eh... "sweet" has got nothing to do with it. It's just that the more I think about the story, the more awful and tragic it seems.

and here I was thinking that a bunch of Russian nuts altering the bible so they could worship Christ the Castrator instead of Christ the Redeemer would get a big rise out of you all if you know what I mean.

This suggests some Tom Lehrer

After unsuccessfully petitioning his father for two years to marry the girl, the man heated up a knife and sliced off his reproductive organ, a police official said.
