A man had to have metal rings removed from his penis by the firebrigade when a sexual experiment went wrong.
The 33-year-old man - who would only give his first name of 'Wirat' - had been pleasuring himself at home when he slipped two small metal rings onto his manhood. But they became stuck and his penis began to swell - leaving Wirat in pain as the circulation was cut-off to parts of his organ.
He went to Pattaya City Hospital in Thailand on Saturday and pleaded with medics to remove the make-shift sex toy which he said he had been 'experimenting' with. Wirat initially feigned implausible innocence, saying that he did not know what the rings were or how they had miraculously appeared there. But then he admitted he had put them on himself.
Doctors tried to remove the device but had to call the local rescue group for backup - who arrived with a selection of plier, cutting tools and a reporter who had picked up the emergency call.
Eye-watering pictures show the man laid out on a hospital bed as a nurse holds a lamp and two doctors and rescue worker Luang Watcharapong battle to cut away the rings.
As the man wailed in pain, the doctors used a metal sheet to protect his penis and the rings were eventually removed at around 1.30pm.
Luang Watcharapong from the Sawang Boribun Fire Rescue Center who attended the incident at the hospital said the man was in 'less pain' after the rings were removed.
Luang, 40, said: 'We had to be careful not to hurt his penis because the rings were stuck very tightly. We don't know how long he had the ring on his penis before he went to hospital. The doctors tried first then we arrived at 1pm and it took us around 30 minutes to remove it. We used small cutters.'
'The man said thank you and he left. He felt much better. He would not give details of exactly what happened. He said he was experimenting sexually and the rings got stuck. He also did not want to tell his family name.'
