Origen Adamantius was an early church leader from Egypt who paid to be castrated in order to be free of sexual desires
The man's name was given as Mr. Terhemen Anongo, and he was said to be forty-four (44) years old, according to Punch Newspaper. The individual was a 500-level medical student at the University of Ibadan when he dropped out.
As a result of his sexual drive torments, Mr. Terhemen had his second testicle removed. On a phone chat with one of Punch Newspaper's journalists, he emphasised that the issue of sexual desire when a man is still unmarried is more like torture and a war.
He explained that his sexual drive torments, along with his religious views, prompted him to have his second testicle removed. He claimed to be someone who is profoundly concerned in religion and had read about Origen Adamantius.
Origen Adamantius was an early church leader from Egypt who paid to be castrated in order to be free of sexual desires.
He explained that he removed his right testicle in an attempt to imitate the Egyptian man. He indicated that removing it caused a large amount of blood to flow, so he abandoned it (castration) and raced to the hospital.
He was able to remove his second testicle without much pain thanks to the experience he gained from removing his first. He said he took it off on Monday and that someone always comes to dress it for him.
He also stated that he is OK, that there is no problem, and that all he is waiting for is the wound to heal so that the stitches may be removed.
