After the operations, several patients reported phantom penises, but these disappeared within weeks. This is what we would expect if the brain is reorganising itself to respond correctly to the new genitals.

However, one patient was less lucky. Her phantom penis persisted for 6 months, and was always in a state of erection. That's perhaps not surprising, as many people with phantom limbs report fairly strong sensations, like itching or pain.

Apparently, phantom penis syndrome is much less common amongst transgender women than amongst men who've had their penis severed - which tends to support the view that their brains are different to other physiological males. ]]> Phantom Penis Syndrome http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=3866&Focus=92203#Comment_92203 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=3866&Focus=92203#Comment_92203 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 07:11:33 -0700 Kosmopolit Phantom Penis Syndrome http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=3866&Focus=92206#Comment_92206 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=3866&Focus=92206#Comment_92206 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 07:20:53 -0700 Winther So, if you were a multiple amputee and you had both phantom limb syndrome and phantom penis syndrome, could you jerk off?

Hey! All of the fun, none of the clean-up. And you could do it in public, too, without getting arrested. Sounds good too me.

That's because all the men with the severed penises do is sit and cry. ]]>
