Man electrocuted while masturbating with ping pong ball

A man has died after electrocuting himself during a self-pleasuring session gone horribly awry.

The shocking incident was detailed in the journal Legal Medicine by doctors from the University Hospital Hradec Králové where the autopsy was performed, the New York Post reports.

Authors said the 30-year-old Czech Republic man was trying to simultaneously satisfy multiple atypical fetishes — a practice known as autoerotic paraphilia.

His unorthodox self-stimulation methods involved “body wrapping, cross-dressing, anal masochism, self-fetishism, and lower abdomen stimulation with an electric mechanical massage device.”

According to the case report, the man’s parents realised something was amiss after their son, who lived in the same apartment, didn’t open his locked door despite them knocking multiple times.

They called the fire department, who pried open the door with a lever, whereupon they saw their son’s lifeless body lying on the floor.

He was wearing a “one-piece women’s swimsuit” while his lower limbs, trunk and neck were tightly bound with plastic and textile straps, per the case study.

Next to his body was a one-handed electric massage device with signs of “wear” that he’d purportedly used on his nether regions, the Daily Mail reported.

A subsequent examination revealed that the automated masturbation aid had malfunctioned when plugged in while burns on the skin above the man’s penis corresponded to the shape of the device.

This led authors to deduce that the man had died due to “accidental fatal electrocution” related to “autoerotic manipulation”.

Meanwhile, a subsequent autopsy revealed a “strange foreign body” in his intestine, which doctors later identified as a “fancy condom in a plastic translucent box”.

Affixed to it was a label inscribed with the victim’s first name.

And that was just the tip of the autoerotic iceberg. The post-mortem probe also uncovered a “ping pong ball attached to a plastic cylinder” that the man had lodged in his rectum.

As a result of his dangerous carnal decathlon, the man had suffered internal organ congestion as well as swelling in the lungs and brain due to trapped fluid. Meanwhile, he also had blood trapped in his heart chamber.

Unfortunately, this is far from the only example of paraphilia, defined by the study authors as “sexual behaviour patterns involving unusual and socially unacceptable sexual practices”.

“In professional literature, there are at least 500 types or variants of paraphilia, many of which may result, either in an autoerotic or assisted scenario, in a fatal outcome,” the authors write.

One notable paraphiliac practice is “urethral sounding”, in which people attempt to stimulate themselves by sticking foreign objects — from double AA batteries to Christmas ornaments to lengths of string — in their urethra.

In 2021, a US man got six kidney beans lodged in his penis during one such attempt at sexual gratification.
