Yes he cut off his testicles entirely and split the tip of his penis down the middle. He received stitches on his penis. Can he have sex? Well I really don't know. I mean technically he can't have sex anyway because he's incarcerated for the rest of his life. But as for whether an erection will be possible, I think so, with hormones. I've been reading about this online but it's all totally new to me.
Most of these comments have been really warm and supportive but I certainly never meant to be controlling. What exactly am I trying to control, his safety?? His emotional well- being?? Also I'm not forcing him to get help. He wants to. He wants to be well and right now he is feeling positive and determined (today, anyway).
Of course I will read the letter. How could I not read it? I didn't force him to tell me what happened. He wants me to know.
I don't mean to take these remarks in the wrong way, but you can imagine that it's a sensitive issue. It's taken me a lot of courage to talk about this at all. I can't even tell anybody that I know in "real life", except for one friend, and he wasn't supportive at all.
