In an earlier article, I expressed disbelief that Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexually assaulted the hotel maid by twice pushing his penis into her mouth. Not once but twice! Obviously that is a high risk maneuver. I just came across this news article which nicely makes my point:

STAMFORD, Conn. — Authorities say a Connecticut woman repelled a sexual assault by biting nearly an inch off an assailant’s tongue. Stamford police said the woman bit the man’s tongue Thursday after he grabbed her and forced his tongue into her mouth just after she left a downtown church. Gerard Michael Landon was arrested Friday after seeking medical treatment for his bleeding tongue at a Stamford massage and chiropractic clinic. The 46-year-old Virgin Islands native is facing a number of charges, including criminal attempt at first-degree sexual assault. He is being held on $500,000 bond and is expected to be arraigned Monday in state Superior Court on Stamford. Stamford Police Sgt. Paul Guzda said police recovered an identifiable piece of the tongue at the scene. During that attack, he stuck his tongue into her mouth and she bit off a large portion of his tongue, which we recovered at the crime scene,” said Conklin. “There was an extreme amount of blood at the scene.” Conklin says it was a big chunk.

After reading this article I decided to do a Google search and came up with many other examples:

-Woman bites penis to deter attacker

By Leo Leonidou
POLICE AND hospitals in Ayia Napa are on the lookout for a man who had his penis bitten by a woman who rejected his sexual advances. The incident took place in the early hours of Friday morning on the party town’s Krio Nero Avenue. The 21-year-old Austrian, who works in a local hotel, was taking a walk with a friend when two young men approached them on mopeds. According to her statement, the men offered to take them for a stroll and a drink along the beach. The women accepted but the Austrian soon became suspicious when her driver stopped at a secluded area before asking her for sex. She claims that when she refused, the man turned violent and struck her. Her statement goes on to say that in an effort to calm him down and get away, she offered to perform oral sex on him. During the act, she says she bit his penis, before kicking his genitalia and punching him in the face.

-Murrieta, California – 911 dispatchers received a call Friday morning about a rape in progress. When officers arrived, they found a woman in her apartment with injuries consistent with a violent attack. The woman told officers that, during the attack, in an attempt to defend herself, she bit off the tongue of her attacker. The severed tongue was right there in the apartment. About an hour after the initial 911 call, McGowan appeared at an emergency room with a bleeding and tongue-less mouth. Doctors were unable to re-attach the offending member.

-Moscow, Russia – Russian doctors are trying to restore a Moscow man’s manhood after an angry raccoon bit off his penis as he was trying to rape the animal. Alexander Kirilow told surgeons he thought he’d “have some fun” when he saw the raccoon during a drunken weekend with pals, according to the Sun. The feisty animal wasn’t going to have any of it and turned on the man, biting off part of his penis in retaliation. Doctor’s told the 44-year-old they could restore the function of what’s left of his member, but they couldn’t sew back on what the raccoon bit off.  No means no.

-Chicago Tribune: Castrated man charged in attack: A woman turned in severed testicles to police officers in Chicago saying she bit them off a man who ordered her to perform a sex act on him. Later a man who arrived at a local hospital with injuries consistent with the woman’s account was arrested by police.

If that part of her story is either fabricated or exaggerated, how can we believe her accusations?
