US woman who severed husband's penis no 'black widow'

A US woman cut off her husband's penis because she "wanted him to stop hurting her" with it, and was enraged that she thought he had another woman, her lawyer said Wednesday. Catherine Kieu Becker planted audio devices to try to catch him having sex with a lover, but they failed to find any evidence -- although the bugs did record the night she "took away his manhood," tossing it into the garbage.

Penis size does matter to women, researchers say

The eternal question of whether penis size matters to women has been probed by a team of international scientists who reported on Monday that yes, ladies do find larger men more attractive. What’s more, prehistoric women who could see the sex organs of their scantily clad male counterparts may have helped influence the evolution of larger genitals in men by choosing to mate with partners who were bigger. Researchers said they decided to tackle the topic because past studies had offered conflicting answers, and may have been sullied by asking the women too directly.

Indonesian mother kills son over 'small penis': police

Sea animal has grow-again penis

Scientists reported Wednesday on the bizarre sex life of a sea slug that discards its penis after copulation. Then grows a new one. "No other animal is known to repeatedly copulate using such 'disposable penes'," Japanese biologists wrote in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters, describing the behaviour as "extremely peculiar". Dubbed Chromodoris reticulata in Latin, the red-and-white slug -- technically a shell-less mollusc -- inhabits warms waters in Southeast Asia.
