Origins: This tale of a female taking revenge on an unfaithful mate is unusual in its violence. In most legends of this type, the woman achieves retribution through simple and non-physical (but effective) means, such as leaving a phone off the hook to run up the bill or selling her spouse's beloved automobile for a pittance. In this case, although the deed is accomplished with a minimum of effort, it is nevertheless an act of extreme violence against the male, emasculating him both symbolically and physically.
Although this story has frequently been reported as true in the media and has existed as a legend since at least 1984, prior to 2000, no verified cases of superglued penes have been uncovered. That changed, however, when on 11 July 2000 a 16-year-old girl in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, revenged herself on her 21-year-old cheating boyfriend by first working him into a state of excitement while seated on the couch at his home, then supergluing his erect penis to his abdomen. The injured man sought treatment at the local hospital but was told there was nothing he could do except soak his member until it freed itself.
The girl has been charged with simple assault.
"She knew I was a dog and she found out I was fooling around on her, but it shouldn't have come down to that," said the victim. "She could've just slapped me or something." The couple is no longer together.
Prior to this ostensive act (a folkloric term for a pre-existing legend coming true in real life), a prominent rumor in the early 1990s proclaimed that actress Sean Young pulled off the stunt during her acrimonious breakup with actor James Woods, but the story (possibly started by Woods himself) had no basis in fact. A man who appeared on Jenny Jones' TV show in 1994 with the wife he claimed had visited the same punishment on him turned out to be Alan Abel, an accomplished hoaxster whose previous victims included Phil Donahue and Sally Jesse Raphael.
