Man with ‘Bionic Penis’ to Have Sex for the First Time

Genital implant patient hopes to gain sexual function.

When he was six years old, Mohammed Abad, 43, a resident of Glasgow, Scotland, was involved in a horrific car accident resulting in the loss of his genitals.

In 2012, he was equipped with an artificial penis, though it was non-functioning at that time. A total of 119 operations later, University College London doctors now say that Abad can have sexual intercourse thanks to bionic technology.

The extended period it took to create Abad’s “bionic penis” was mostly due to the time needed to allow skin grafts from his arm to heal correctly around a pair of inflatable tubes. These tubes are embedded within the shaft of the implant.

Controlled by a mechanical switch located inside his testicles, the device allows Abad to experience an erection in only a few seconds by pulling fluid from his stomach, which fills and expands the hollow cylinders

While there have been some adjustments and complications, Abad remains optimistic about the technique and the possibility to perform sexually.

“I got out of hospital on the 10th of July and got a train back up to Scotland. I had to keep it erect for two weeks. I had to do that for it to heal, because that’s the way it works. My old penis didn’t go to waste–my surgeon used it to make my scrotum,” he said during an interview on This Morning on itv.

Abad had been married previously but did not tell his wife of his accident until their wedding day. He said he admits this was a mistake. She grew tired of waiting for a possible operation that would allow him to perform sexually and she soon left him.

Charlotte Rose, a sexual freedom advocate and sex worker has since been in contact with Abad and has offered to be his first sexual partner. She told The Sun she’s honored Abad picked her to take his virginity and that she won’t be charging him for what will be a dinner date followed by two hours of private time.

A new technology?

While many news outlets have been reporting on this procedure as new or unique, medical experts point out the technique has actually been around for decades.

Quoted by LiveScience, New York Lenox Hill Hospital urologist Dr. Elizabeth Kavaler said, “It’s not a ‘bionic penis’; it’s a penile implant. We do this all the time.”

Developed by the late urologist Dr. F. Brantley Scott in the 1970s,penile implants have been successfully used in hundreds of thousands of patients.

That, however, does not take away from the significance the procedure will have for Mohammed Abad, as well as others who suffer from damaged genitalia or erectile dysfunction. That penile implants continue to be both used as well as further refined may offer hope to the great many who may be able to experience at least partial restoration of their sexual lives.

“I have waited long enough for this—it’ll be a great start to the new year. My penis is working perfectly now so I just want to do it. I’m really excited. I can’t wait for it to finally happen,” Abad also told The Sun.

M. Christian

M.Christian (they/them) loves nothing better than exploring the intersections of sex and technology—and speculating on the future of both. A highly regarded erotica writer they have six novels,12 collections, 100+ short stories, and 25 anthologies as an editor to their name. Their non-fiction regularly appears in many sites, but they're most proud of being a regular contributor to Future of Sex.

Of their erotic fiction, Tristan Taormino said that “M.Christian is a literary stylist of the highest caliber: smart, funny, frightening, sexy—there's nothing [they] can't write about… and brilliantly.”

Reflecting their unique ability to sympathetically and convincingly write for a range of genders and sexual orientations, their stories have appeared in multiple editions of Best American Erotica, Best Gay Erotica, Best Lesbian Erotica, The Mammoth Books of Erotica, and others. Their collection of gay erotic fiction, Dirty Words, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

While a majority of their stories have been collected into books like Dirty Words, their fondness for combining sex and science fiction is clearly evident in collections that include Rude Mechanicals, Technorotica, Better Than The Real Thing, Skin Effect Effect, Bachelor Machine, and Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica of M.Christian.

As a novelist, M.Christian’s versatility is on full display with Running Dry, The Very Bloody Marys, Brushes, Painted Doll; and the somewhat controversial queer BDSM/horror/thrillers Finger's Breadth, and Me2.

M.Christian has worked on the industry’s production side as an Associate Publisher for Renaissance E Books and as a Publisher for Digital Parchment Services. The latter dedicated to celebrating the works of science-fiction legends such as William Rotsler, Jerome Bixby, Jody Scott, Arthur Byron Cover, Ernest Hogan, and James Van Hise.

Covering topics like BDSM safety, sexual education, senior sexuality concerns, queer and gender issues, plus reviewing a variety of sex tech products, M.Christian’s non-fiction has appeared on sites like Kinkly, Tickle.Life, Sexpert, Queer Majority, Sex for Every Body, and—of course—their ongoing work for Future of Sex.

If there’s anything M.Christian enjoys more than writing, it’s teaching. A featured presenter, sometimes with their friend Ralph Greco Jr, at national sex and BDSM events, they have lectured on kink play (with an emphasis on safety), polyamory, boosting sexual creativity, and erotica writing--for beginners or those wanting to go pro.

M.Christian is a cohost on two popular sex-education podcasts: Love’s Outer Limits with Dr. Amy Marsh and Licking Non-Vanilla with Ralph Greco, Jr.
