Fish Slips Into 14-Year-Old Indian Boy’s Penis
“Doctors treating a 14-year-old Indian boy were stunned to find a 2cm long fish had ’slipped’ into his penis. The patient, who was admitted to hospital with complaints of pain, dribbling urine and acute urinary retention spanning a 24-hour period, gave an interesting explanation. The patient claimed that the fish ’slipped’ into his penis while he was maintaining his aquarium. ‘While he was cleaning the fish tank in his house, he was holding a fish in his hand and went to the toilet for passing urine. When he was passing urine, the fish slipped from his hand and entered his urethra and then he developed all these symptoms,’ the Daily Telegraph quoted Professor Vezhaventhan and Professor Jeyaraman, who treated the boy, as saying. After detecting the fish in the boy’s bladder, the doctors used a technique known as cystourethroscopy to insert a special set of forceps down the patient’s penis. Unfortunately, the fish was just too slippery to grip, so they resorted to using a rigid ureteroscope with a tool attached that is normally used for removing bladder stones. The fish the urologists removed, which Practical Fishkeeping believes to be a small member of the Betta genus, measured 2cm long and 1.5cm wide. The boy was later admitted into counselling to help him overcome any trauma.” — Yahoo (US)

What else could the young man say other than that the fish “slipped” into his penis? Was he supposed to say, “Doc, you won’t believe what a strapping youth would do in search of jollies. Some boys would core an apple and screw the hole. Others would slather mayonnaise on that little cylinder of cardboard inside a roll of toilet paper and pretend it’s their auntie’s quim. Me? Well, I was cleaning this fish tank, and suddenly I had this wild idea…” It’s embarrassing enough being a teenager. There’s probably no teen on earth capable of admitting such a lapse of judgement.
Here’s a question. Would you categorize this as bestiality? Bestiality is sometimes a matter of inserting a human, um, thing inside an animal. And sometimes it’s a matter of putting an animal part in a human orifice. But if a person inserts an entire animal into his body, is it bestiality? It calls to mind “gerbilmania” or “gerbil stuffing” in which a gay man, most notoriously Richard Gere (according to the urban legend), inserts a gerbil into his ass for kicks. There doesn’t appear to be any reality to this supposed fetish, but suppose it were true. Would it be bestiality? It would be hard not to qualify it as such, since it involves man, animal, and eros.
And yet, if you find the usual behaviors of bestiality disturbing, somehow it’s even more upsetting to contemplate a human body swallowing up an entire animal, be it gerbil, fish, eel, snake, etc. Doubtless this is because, when you put a live animal inside you, you can no longer restrain what it does. The inside of your body is largely outside your control. Once a fish swims up your dick and lands in your bladder, there’s not a hell of a lot you can do about it. Same thing when a gerbil disappears up your ass. What then? You don’t have much choice but to turn to doctors — and they, quite possibly along with the rest of the world, will be laughing their asses off at you.
There is something decidedly fishy about this story. It does conjure up some images though. You know the “swallow a cherry pit, grow a tree in your stomach” fear? (Okay, perhaps more of a concern in elementary school.)But really–you want to pick your fish carefully. Could have been worse–he could have stuck 2 up there. Two bettas in one bladder–don’t they fight to the death? I think I read in Graham Chapman’s “autobiography” that there’s a cabinet at one of the London Med Schools devoted to displaying things extricated from patients’ posteriors. New cabinet theme: things fished out of urethras….
I can remember reading about a species of South American fish that will lodge itself in an unguarded urethra (for whatever reason), usually requiring methods of removal too ghastly to even render in text. I wish I could find a reference to this now. Anyway, I didn’t buy the kid’s bullshit story either.
The fish is the candiru, or toothpick fish. Ouch
The fish that Krovas is thinking about is the candiru. See the wikipedia article on it. I read Naked Lunch (William Burroughs) many many years ago, and the candiru is one of the few things I remember about it!
There used to be a punishment for adultery in ancient Rome that involved a mullet (the fish, not the hairdo) being shoved up the guilty guy’s bum. The point was that since a mullet’s spikes point backwards it was rather difficult to get out – no word, AFAIK, on whether it was still alive when it was inserted. There’s a reference to it in Juvenal somewhere.
When I was reading that story, I was thinking how painful it sounds. I remembered hearing in one of those shows on National Geographic about human parasites desribing such a fish. The fish was the Candiru fish. It is very possible that the boy did this to himself. The fish here was described as 2 cm long by 1.5 cm wide. How could a fish 1.5 cm wide fit inside anyones urethra? Maybe it contracts?
what i want to know is how’d he manage to get it up there in the first place.
I was wondering the same thing. If it’s 1.5 centimeters wide. How and why seem like the questions of choice…
