A man claiming to have two penises has amassed more than 11,000 comments on Reddit during an Ask Me Anything session.
' DoubleD***Dude ' has been bombarded with questions about his genitalia and seemingly responded in genuine fashion after beginning ' I am the guy with two penises. AMA ' this morning.
At the top he posted links to two pictures of his penises - NSFW, obviously - alongside the following answer to a FAQ:
"It is Diphallia, not an absorbed twin. It's not genetic or inherited. I am bisexual and in a committed relationship with a man and a woman."
He insinuates that he was bullied in school and had one health problem as a result of his condition, but would never now consider getting one of them removed.
"I always knew I had an extra one [when I was younger]," he wrote.
"My mom told me the other boys only had one, so I was special.
"I had one issue in my teens. the Y intersection where my urethra splits into two had some tension issues and was ballooning until the pressure was enough to force the urine up and out.
"So they did some minor surgery and used catheters to stretch and open up the Y some. no problems since."
He concedes that he has several practical problems: "When i go commando, which is almost always except in winter, they take their own sides.
"The seam can be a pain sometimes because the skin between them is a little delicate and sensitive.
"I generally avoid public bathrooms and if I do use one i try to use the stall and not a wall urinal... because i have one muscle that controls my p***, it lets the stream flow out both my d****.
"so unless i pinch off one of them it comes out both and that doesnt feel good. So I have to take both out to pee.
"Yeah Ive gotten stares and even had a few guys at various times go HOLY S***.
"My prostate gets inflamed if I dont ejaculate enough. My prostate gets stimulation from both c**** and creates a lot of seminal fluid... I have to get the excess out otherwise it feels bloated and painful.
"[The] Worst [thing about my condition]? Briefs/underwear. I wear a small/medium in the waist (28-30"waist) so briefs that can hold it all together are too big, and briefs that fit everywhere else, i fall out of both sides.
"Best? having two c****."
He talks extensively about his sex life, revealing details of a few of his sexual encounters - or 'orgies' - and said that girls usually either love his unique member or run screaming.
"varies from girl to girl. Some have been like WOW. some have been like THATS FAKE!
"some have freaked out like, called me names. Most are pretty curious, but i dont have casual sex anymore, i stopped a few years back.
"Didnt like the empty feeling inside after a 1 night stand. did a lot of those in my late teens. A LOT of them.
"but for the most part, girls were nervous and some changed their mind at the last minute. dudes NEVER change their mind, they always want it even if they're freaked out a little."
Asked what it is like having a boyfriend and a girlfriend at the same time, he replied: "Actually no awkwardness. They were a couple before they mutually started dating me.
"She is straight, and he is bisexual and discovered he was when after four months of them both knowing me, they found out about my c****.
"It clicked and we've been together since."
He revealed that he once considered a career in porn.
"Yes I did, a few years ago. But decided against it. its one thing to be unique its another thing to be a novelty.
"i'd only be popular for so long and then i'd just be another blip in the hiccup of the porn business. the pay is s*** from what ive seen and I don't need money, I'm comfortable now.
"Besides, i can't figure a value for my dignity. the only reason I let photos out [on Reddit] is because i thought people might like to know, at least one guy with two normal d**** exists.
"all the others are pretty scary looking and i feel for them."
There are reportedly around 100 cases of Diphallia worldwide.
He is also game for a laugh. Asked "Do you have a favorite?", he replied:
"Yes. the right one. The left one has a grudge against me for it too."
And asked "Are you a Ghostbusters fan? Have you ever crossed the streams?", he wrote:
"HAHAHAHAHAHA. you can never cross the streams, it would be bad."
