A man has been rushed to hospital after he tried to fit his penis into 11 penis rings.
His penis started to become dangerously swollen and bruised before he lost consciousness.
The man had a hard time explaining it to doctors in Bangkok, Thailand, who were forced to cut away the rings.
This proved difficult because it had become so swollen.
The man is now recovering in hospital but it is unclear what inspired him to put the 11 rings around his penis.
However the rings are usually used to enhance pleasure during a solo sex act or to help increase the feeling of good girth.

But they can be dangerous and if worn for too long can cause priapism, a disorder where the penis maintains a rigid erection without any stimulation.
The condition can result in permanent damage, including penile gangrene, which can sometimes lead to amputation.
A man in South Africa pulled a similar stunt, but this guy decided to put his wedding ring on his penis.
Surgeons failed twice in attempts to remove the ring once the patient was sedated, with one attempt made by an orthopaedic oscillating saw.

They were unable to remove it due to ‘excessive swelling’ and the ring being ‘too wide and strong’.
However, the third time was the charm as injections drained blood and caused the swelling to subside, enabling doctors to slip the ring off.
The man made a full recovery.
