Woman Tore off Ex-Lover's Testicle, Court Told
By Will Batchelor, PA

A jilted woman today admitted ripping off her ex-lover’s testicle with her bare hands after he refused to have sex with her.

Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage after her ex-boyfriend, 37-year-old Geoffrey Jones, rejected her advances at the end of a drunken house party. She yanked off his left testicle, which was later handed to him by a friend with the words: “That’s yours.”

Monti, of Birkenhead, Merseyside, pleaded guilty to wounding at Liverpool Crown Court today and will be sentenced next month. The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term relationship with Monti towards the end of May last year. The pair remained on good terms and on May 30, Monti offered to collect Mr Jones from a barbecue and drive him to his home in Netherton, Merseyside. She then drove him to another party and then home again, where friends joined them for more drinks. As the drinks party was winding down, Monti told Mr Jones she wanted to discuss their relationship and offered him sex.

When he refused, she grabbed his face and a struggle ensued. Mr Jones threw petite Monti, who is little more than 5ft 2ins tall, out of the house. She then smashed a window and confronted him on the doorstep as he went to investigate. Another struggle took place and Monti was knocked to the floor, from where she pulled down Mr Jones’ shorts.

In a statement read out by judge Charles James, Mr Jones continued: “I was left standing in my underpants. She was still lying on the floor. “Suddenly she grabbed my genitals and pulled hard. That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain.”

Referring to his friend Danny McDonagh, who was sleeping at the house after the party, Mr Jones said: “I believe Danny walked out shortly afterwards. He came into the kitchen and said to me, ’That’s yours’, and I saw that he was holding one of my testicles in his hand.”

Monti initially tried to hide the testicle by putting it in her mouth, but released it. Doctors were unable to re-attach the organ.

Defence barrister Wendy Lloyd said her client did not remember much of the incident. However, she accepted the prosecution’s version of events and did not claim to have acted in self-defence. Monti, who spoke only to confirm her name and enter a guilty plea, was released on conditional bail for sentence on February 10.

Oooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

yeah, this seems like a normal thing to do under the circumstances. :rolleyes:

wear padded shorts and pull everything up and the the front, out of the way of the nose of the saddle.

looks stupid/alluring [delete as applicable] when you're stood up, but...

[meanwhile if it lasts more than a couple of days, you might want to get a doctor to look at them]

Hey thanks guys. I rode all day today without complaint for down under. I think whoever said that I maybe hit a bump and didn't notice it immediately was probably on to something. Still, maybe I can get my health insurance to cover a new Brooks? (Hey, it'd be worth a shot.)

My legs were crossed the whole time I read that! Damn! With her bare hands? CRINGE!

i'm almost always in my 'hartts with no pain whatever... they actually block the wind a little better than some tights i've tried (i mean, no, i've never worn tights.. er..) plus, they're studly and they last forever. um, never worn shorts under them, just boxers.

all that said, just experiment and find what's right for you. our boys are all different in their own special way(s).

Listen to Kramer, he is a wise man. Seriously though, boxer-briefs will help.

When you guys refer to 'carhartts' are you referring to the baggy bib overalls that are waterproof or more conventional jeans?

Use your health insurance to see a doctor. Unless you really trust a bunch of biker dudes floating electronic bits of useless information via t he Internet. You said in your first post you were a reader so you have seen the post we all make. And you still trust that ? :D :D

Carhartts must be a northern thing/brand. Born in Florida, I had to look it up.

Northern perhaps, but not north of the border. I had to google also.
Maybe northeast USA?

They had them in MT. They're work clothing for like farmers and construntion workers, etc. Really tough, durable stuff... They typically don't have them in dept stores - you have to go to farm supply and contracter supply stores.

carhartt's are my current jam, thicker and more durrable than dickies. they also have plenty of pockets, which I use in my job to store two knives on one side and cutters, strippers, screw drivers, and other such tools on the other. mighty comfortable too. Alot of train hoppers are into them because they last and are pretty water tight.

currently I'm wearing dark brown canvas trousers (ha, love that word) ones, I'm not a big fan of jeans, but I hear they're good too.. I'm thinkin of scoring a pair of insulated for when/if it gets cold here..

Oh - he meant the messenger bag...

carhartts are everywhere dude! construction guys, painters, even punks always be wearin' them....but i guess yuppies don't....
definatley not.
ya can't find them at gap after all.
but they're not very comfy either.

Since there was an invitation to poetry about this, eh-hem, delicate subject, me thinks, I'm base enough to throw down my couplets. Read em and weep!

Once upon a miday dreary, as I rode my single speed,
The lowly pubis, yelled out from some misdeed.
A silent cry, from balls on high
Splayed on a seat, where they always lie,
In silken boxers, with oinky pigs,
Bundled with love, in messenger digs,
Never before, had had a problem,
Feel now, like they've been bit by Golem.
I want to know, from my biking friends,
What I can do, so that it all ends-
And now I'm not speeking of,
My tender boys, whom I love,
But the zeal with which, you have parlayed,
That bit of me, that God hath made.

Oh, by the way, can we make this a sticky?

The nut-verse sticky?

Have you ever stopped to wonder how Lance Armstrong can go so fast?

.... Think about it.

Get good padded bib shorts, man. And looser jeans

ever been to UK? they are pretty fashionable here. they even have their own skateboard team.
