For once, I will agree with Slogger. It is barbaric.
Yes, definitely not nice... although there are people who do the above.
If you can think of a body part that you wouldn't want sliced, diced, pierced or removed, there will be some freak who would. In the body-modification world, a man who has removed his p*nis is called a "nullo". Usually they would have done this themself (yes, there are men who would cut off their own p*nis). I think "self-bobbitification" rolls off the tongue much more easily though!
However, the fact that you are all now screwing your faces up, wincing and feeling somewhat tender in the nether regions would indicate that there is no chance of this catching on as a popular thing to do.
Our disgust at this practice is not something new. There was an English missionary who tried to stop female circumcision back in the 19th century, the tribe was so angry that they did her and she bled to death.
