UK Man Receives Bionic Penis Implant 37 Years After Childhood Accident

Read: How to Not Break Your Dick During Sex

An unfortunate childhood accident left him without a penis but thanks to a bionic implant, 43-year-old Mohammed Abad will be able to have sex for the first time.

Abad, who is from Edinburgh, Scotland, lost his penis when he was dragged under a car for 600 feet at age six, according to the Sun.

"I lost all my genitals," he said.

Surgeons at University College London have spent the past three years using a skin graft from Abad's arm to fashion a replacement. His final operation was last month. The result? Twin tubes that inflate to an eight-inch erection with the push of a button.

"When you want a bit of action you press the 'on' button," Abad said. "It takes seconds. Doctors have told me to keep practicing."

The button, located on Abad's testicles, allows his new penis to expand using fluid from a pump planted inside his stomach. University College London has also used the procedure to help men with micropenises—penises less than two inches in length—enjoy a more fulfilling sex life.

Abad, a security guard, is divorced. He married his ex-wife without revealing the accident and she left a year later.

He said he won't make that mistake again.

"I'm looking forward to a date, looking forward to meeting somebody who I can maybe practice with," he said.

"The ultimate goal would be to have kids, which would be a miracle."
