testecupFor one man, true love means cutting off your balls for no particular reason. One seriously disturbed farmer cut off his testicles with a razor blade and sewed up the wound with thread in order to remain faithful to his wife. Apparently the farmer and his wife haven’t had sex in some time. Fearing that he might stray, he commented that,

I did it because I haven’t had intimate contact with my wife in six years and because of my Christian beliefs, I took a razor blade and cut off my testicle. I sewed up [the wound] with needle and thread that I use on cows and pigs, so that I wouldn’t cheat on my wife.”

He then justified his actions by quoting the Gospel of St Matthew, Chapter 18, verses 8 and 9:

Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.”

(I’d just like to point out for the record that no where in the text does it even mention a single testicle.) The farmer was hospitalized two days later when the damaged area became infected and doctors had to remove a blood clot from the remains of the man’s testicles.
