An ITV<\/a> documentary about women who have chopped off men\u2019s penises<\/a> is airing tonight.<\/p>\n

A man\u2019s worst nightmare, I Cut off His Penis: The Truth Behind The Headlines, will explore the phenomenon of penicide.<\/p>\n

The show will follow the case of Lorena Bobbitt<\/a> who went on trial for chopping off her husband John Bobbitt\u2019s penis in 1993.<\/p>\n

Lorena severed John\u2019s penis with a knife while he was asleep in bed after she claimed he had raped and abused her for years, which he denied.<\/p>\n

Former US marine John was charged with marital sexual assault later that year but was acquitted, while Lorena was acquitted of assault by reason of insanity.<\/p>\n

I Cut Off His Penis will also explore other incidents of penicide that have happened across the world in the UK, US and Thailand.<\/p>\n

The synopsis says: \u2018This revelatory documentary explores other cases that have happened around the world. <\/p>\n

\u2018Travelling to the USA, UK and Thailand, we\u00a0go beyond the tabloid headlines to hear the extraordinary personal testimony of both women and men who have witnessed and felt the impact of this act. <\/p>\n

\u2018From the women who committed the act, to the men who were cut, to the surgeons who re-attached the penises, we ask why this very specific act of violence is committed. <\/p>\n

\u2018Is penis-cutting a malicious act, long-awaited retribution or, for some, argued as a means of protection?<\/em>\u2018<\/p>\n

In 2019, John recalled the horror he felt when he woke up to discover Lorena had cut off his penis.<\/p>\n

\u2018I sprung up and I was bleeding, I was applying pressure, them immediately I thought it was something out of a horror movie. A nightmare\u2026turned into reality,\u2019 he\u00a0told ABC News.<\/p>\n

John\u2019s penis was found by police near a 7-Eleven and an officer put it on ice and transported it to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Dr David Berman, a plastic surgeon who operated on Bobbitt, said that the surgery\u2019s focus was to reconnect the arteries, veins, and nerves so John would have blood flow and sensation in his penis.<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

The surgery lasted nine hours and was a success.<\/p>\n

\u2018It remains the most interesting and dramatic case I\u2019ve ever done in my life. It kind of really blew a lot of people\u2019s imaginations away with what could be done,\u2019 Berman said.<\/p>\n

John went on to have a short career as a porn star.<\/p>\n

I Cut Off His Penis: The Truth Behind The Headlines airs tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
