So very sad. It's a freaky world we live in; my heart goes out to this guy & his beloved. However, I wonder why it never crossed his mind, if he came from a rich family, why he didn't make off w/ some money & his girlfriend for another region or country where they could be together. It seems to be very telling about the culture, when a man would rather remove his penis than disown or be disowned by his family.
