Sex on the Net

Sex has a never ending fascination for most of us. Here are some sex-related stories found on the Internet that are not your ordinary run of the mill features.

• Russian surgeons 'grow' penis on man's forearm
  
  
  
  • Sergei, 28, who lives in a village in Siberia was born with genitals so small that he was unable to have sex. He has now been given a chance at having a normal love life by his surgeon Professor Mikhail Sokolshchik. The operation involved removing the penis, stitching it unto the patient's forearm, grafting addtional flesh and tissue and re-attaching it to his groin.
    
    The 11 hour operation was an apparent success. Sergei should soon be able to have sex for the first time. He will not be able to achieve an erection, but will be in a permanent state of semi-arousal. "He has never had a partner or sex because of his micropenis," Prof Sokolshchik said.
    
    
    
    • Prof Sokolshchik, who has specialised in microsurgery and phalloplasty - plastic surgery for male sexual organs - for 13 years, said: "We've carried out thousands of operations on patients, ranging from female-to-male transsexuals to the treatment of victims of horrific accidents, and have a wealth of experience in amputation, reconstruction and surgical implants. "But this operation was highly risky because it was an amputation, reconstruction and reattachment in one go. If it had gone wrong, the patient would have ended up with no genitalia at all."
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  

• Anti-rape device to hit market - and rapists
  
  
  
  • The device, known as Rapex, has stirred controversy around the world but its inventor, Sonnet Ehlers, is preparing the final pre-production phase after seven years of waiting. The controversy has raged over whether the device, which has fish-like teeth that attach to the head and shaft of the penis, is a medieval device built on a hatred of men or whether it is an easy-to-use invention that could free millions of South African women from fear of rape.
  
  
  
  




• Judge Rules in Transvestite Case
  
  
  
  • Ferris Griggs of Kansas City, Kan., sued Josie Garcia of Kansas City, claiming that Garcia had defrauded him by pretending to be a woman. Griggs wanted the judge to remove Garcia's name from a deed to a $20,000 house they co-own. Griggs also gave Garcia a $2,500 engagement ring, but didn't ask for that back. The judge eventually ruled that the house should be sold and the proceeds be split between the couple.
  
  
  
  




• Former Judge Collapses as He's Sentenced for Child Porn
  
  
  
  • Ronald Kline, 66, fell into his attorney's arms as Judge Consuelo B. Marshall was announcing his sentence shortly after noon. Court proceedings were temporarily halted and paramedics summoned.
    He was arrested in November 2001 after a Canadian hacker used a computer program to download diary entries and other images from the former judge's computers. The hacked information was turned over to Pedowatch, a Colorado watchdog group, which notified Irvine, Calif., authorities. Police searched Kline's Irvine home and seized his computer. Kline pleaded guilty and acknowledged he had more than 100 sexually explicit images of young boys stored on disks and his computer. Kline served a six-year term as a judge before bowing out of the November 2002 election. Upon his release from prison, he must register as a sex offender.
