I was the secretary to this department head who one day told me that when he was in Vietnam a landmine exploded nearby and he got hit by shrapnel and he had his package torn off, balls and all. He had reconstructive surgery and he has a penile implant but he said he had no feelings. Quite a head trip for a 26 year old. I did feel sorry for him but I could not understand it. I guess I still don't understand it because I still keep thinking of him. I don't think a woman could ever understand what it is to have your package torn off. He must have been a very young man then, because this was in the nineties when he told me about it.
