#3 I know a real estate agent in Hawaii. It is a major deal for Chinese buyers if the previous owner died in the house. I don't quite understand this, as it would seem that Chinese would be less likely to die in a hospital and thus at home. But apparently, if you are selling to Chinese clients and they find out that the house is being sold because gram or gramps died - the first thing they will want to know is if he someone died in the house. If so - that's a big negative.

So along that line, I'm guessing that having a dead man's penis could cause a few problems for the wife.

#7 "Because of a severe psychological problem of the recipient and his wife, the transplanted penis regretfully had to be cut off,"

Talaq, talaq, talaq. Taaaaalaq!

#8 Additionally, any "flesh of the dead" issues probably do not apply here. When harvesting organs from a brain dead donor, the operations can be done without awaiting cessation of all vital functions. This ensures maximum vitality of the transplanted tissues and reduces the possibility of rejection.

Much more likely is idiotic superstition at work. Especially considering how the average size of a Chinese male's genitals are substantially less than the dimensions cited in the article. At a whopping 10cm, this guy would have been a regular Asiatic John Holmes.

The unerect penises of Chinese men (aged 18 to 45) are between 4.5 and 8.8 centimeters (1.6 to 3.5 inches) long, with the average length being 6.5 centimeters (2.5 inches).

The long and the short of it is more likely how this guy's wife choked in the clinch.

#12 I'll go so far as to presume how happy you must be that the only transplant you've probably experienced involved relocating to France.

#13 In all seriousness, A5089, please elaborate. I'll offer up that one of the most enjoyable experiences in my entire life was a trip to Taiwan. To this very day, I still feel "homesick" for Ilha Formosa - "The Beautiful Island".

#14 It's all about me mode on/

Now, I understand better.

Some anatomical details of mine, lol.

Except for those unfortunate chinese traits Phil-B attributed to the retaining of juvenile features, I'm not chinese-looking at all (grandfather's father was a WWI chinese worker called in to supplement french workforce along with about 100 000 of his fellows); in fact, I've got polish (jew, given name), jewish, czech, italian, chinese, and probably swiss, ancestry, but unfortunately, I've got all the bad genes from that. I'm the stuff that has stuck to the bottom of the Melting Pot (only good thing about me is that I'm mostly harmless).
And my direct family also includes nepalese, turkish (jew), sierra-leonese, dutch, and even arab lineage through alliances.

Doesn't prevent me from being a french born-and-raised non-practicing catholic little porker.

#15 All humans exhibit many characteristics due to neotony, the retention of juvenile characteristics into adulthood. The relative hairlessness of humans compared to other apes is commonly cited as an example.

Chinese exhibit markedly more neotony in sexual characteristics than Europeans for example. European men have significantly wider shoulders than women, and women wider hips. These sex differences and others like body hair, are noticeably less pronounced in Chinese and result from neotony as these differences are much less pronounced in children.

I told A5089 it means he is more evolved than us knuckle dragging Caucasians.

How rich do you expect the dowry to be 5089?

#17 Sure enough, A5089, flipping Heinz 57-Effing-Varieties you most certainly might be, but it still doesn't explain how in the bloody hell you (post # 14) managed to respond to a post (# 15) made after your own.

#20 Need I be more clear?

A5089, you are post # 14. Yet you refer to facts mentioned in the post (# 15) subsequent to yours. phil_b shows up nowhere in the entire thread until after your # 14 post. While I congratulate you upon a feat of Internet prestidigitation, I still want to know just how in the hell it happened.

#22 I'd reject a 10cm penis too. Out of over a billion people they could surely come up with a bigger one than that.

#24 It seems that the problem was that his spouse rejected the thing. In all fairness, my completely non-Asiatic spouse would probably not be very happy if the doctors attached a 10 cm penis to me.

#27 Yet you refer to facts mentioned in the post (# 15) subsequent to yours.

Ah, ok, ok. This is because this very subject was already evoked by Phil_B in an earlier thread, given the popularity of penis-related issues in RB - penis enlargement fraud, penis enarglement, penis damaged during sex with dangerous animals, submissive asian wimmen cutting off penis, nut cutting off own penis, false penis warmed up in microwave-oven, etc, etc... I think if it's penis-related, it was posted here -, and my tendancy to whine about my shortcomings (literally, in this case).
No clairvoyance, just a coincidence Phil_B commented right after me, with the same earlier argument.

Good observation.

I vote that "If it's penis-related, it's probably posted here" be added to Rantburg's list of random title phrases ("Tomorrow's news, today!", "Raw meat for the mind", "Oderous Dumb Mutant", et al).

I was actually getting a childlike chuckle out of the doc's name, IP. Doctor Willie....lol!

TW Ima shocked!! and rolling on the floor picturing the scene .. LOL!..coffee alert!!

imagine..what a revolting development and think of the fright of it, call 911!! LOL!

In the Emergency room Dr. Steve White asks, "what's the matter sir, why are you freaking out?"....

"I just came home from work and my wife whipped out her new 10 cm penis and waved it at me!"

and it's all Steve's fault!
