Ive been out of the loop with the case, ever since it happened.
Did he undergo some...procedure...to help him be a porn star?
Read the article.
"Her ex-husband found that the surgeons' work to reattach his severed pens had been a success and he starred in a few porn movies, including 'John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut'. In an interview last year, Bobbitt, who also underwent a penis enlargement paid for by a radio show, claimed he had slept with around 70 women since the attack. Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'Being the most famous man to have his penis chopped off does have its advantages. It definitely has not hurt my love life - in fact it improved it."
I could only imagine if it was the other way around lol

Do you get the context in which the crime occurred? Doesn't sound like it, bro. She should've gone to a shelter or something, though, and filed for a divorce, instead of hack at him.

Exactly. The double standard is ridiculous. Plus, she did it in his sleep. Any cries of "defense" could have included the police, or at the very least, walking out. No, this was absolutely calculated, albeit from a disturbed and abused frame of mind. His abuse towards her is how she didn't get penalized in any way for it, but to be celebrated? Neither of these two should be celebrated. And the women who do so for Lorena? Equally bat**** crazy.
What's interesting about this is the humor we find in male genital injuries. When I was a kid, seeing some guy get "wracked" was good for a laugh, and I always laughed right along, even when I was the victim (once I could breathe again). I don't laugh anymore, but I certainly did then.
The Bobbit story made me uncomfortable and I didn't really see any humor in it. It was a grotesquely violent act committed by a person who was apparently under extreme duress. Neither funny nor really laudable or even defensible. Understandable, perhaps. But commedians, mostly men, made with the jokes and lots of people seemed to get them.
But then look at the clip from "The Talk". Sharon Osborne is, of course, an idiot, but the audience seemed to be going along with her shtick quite willingly. I appreciated the effort to counter the idiocy by Sarah Gilbert and the woman to Osborne's left whose name I don't know. It was telling that Gilbert couched her opinion in terms of being a "buzz kill", in the sense that Osborne and the audience were just having some good clean fun, except that they were celbrating one person mutilating another in a terribly personal and in that case at least, apparently wanton way.
Flip the genders and imagine a man (or woman) in Osborne's chair and an audience laughing as he described the hilarity associated with a woman's body part spinning down a garbage disposal. No, I really can't either.

Defense against what? He was asleep. She could have just left.
And I'm not trying to stuck up for him, because I think men who beat up on women are scum.
