I’m usually the first person to raise my eyebrow (occasionally even both eyebrows) skeptically when hearing a story about how some foreign object “accidentally” got longed in some guy’s junk. After all, it’s not like we’re famous for having much sense about what we do with our privates. But whether this man’s explanation for how a six-inch eel managed to work it’s way into his penis is true or not, I’m too busy cringing to laugh.

Apparently, 56 year-old Zhang Nan was taking a bath with live eels, a beautification treatment which is, believe it or not, available in a number of spas, to cleanse his skin when one of the eels slipped up his urethra and into his bladder:

I climbed into the bath and I could feel the eels nibbling my body. But then suddenly I felt a severe pain and realised a small eel had gone into the end of my penis. I tried to hold it and take it out, but the eel was too slippery to be held and it disappeared up my penis’

Nan had to undergo a three hour operation to remove the eel, which died during it’s ordeal. According to Jin Wang, the surgeon who performed the operation, it is possible that the eel slipped up there accidentally:

The diameter of the urethra in a man’s penis is just a little narrower, but because eels are quite slippery, its body worked as a lubricant and so it got into the penis smoothly

Nan is expected to make a full recovery, but will probably be a little more choosy about bathing partners in future…
