Karl Farrar, 49, has been left unsure if his "unrecognisable" penis still works after the traumatic accident.

The mechanic was struggling to reverse the BMW estate into his garage, so he put the handbrake on and jumped out of the vehicle.
However, while we was walking behind the car it began rolling down the ramp.
Terrifying footage shows Karl unsuccessfully trying to stop the vehicle by pushing it, as he is forcefully thrown backwards.
The car - which he estimates is 1,800kg - crushes him against the wall before he is seen shouting in agony.
It then comes to a standstill, as Karl is seen desperately yelling for help.
A staff member quickly gets in the car and tries to drive away, not realising it is in reverse.
Karl was crushed again by the reversing vehicle, before the member of staff manages to successfully manoeuvre it away from him.
The wince-inducing video then shows him collapse in the centre of the shop floor, unable to get back up.
His coworker then gets out of the car to help him while he lies doubled up on the floor.
An ambulance rushed him to Manchester Royal Infirmary where he stayed for a week, with doctors telling him he had suffered soft tissue damage to his pelvic area and groin after an MRI.

Karl says he has been unable to watch the CCTV footage back as it is too "traumatic" for him.
He has been left particularly concerned about his "unrecognisable" manhood, as he is unsure if they "work or function" - but he is hopeful it will be OK after the healing process.
Karl, from Hyndburn, Lancashire, said: "My man bits were smashed to bits. They were swollen, they were black and blue and unrecognisable in one bit.
"I don't know if they work or function because the area is very painful and sore still but I think it'll be okay. It was scary for a couple of weeks though.
"It's Final Destination stuff.
"My sensitive man area got smashed into my stomach and the belt buckle went into my stomach. A lot of the damage is soft tissue and nerve damage. Luckily nothing broke.
"It was obviously very painful but I'm not one for being amazingly soft.
"The scariest thing for me was when they had me on the floor and they were trying to put my leg straight and I couldn't bear it because the pain was too bad.
"The fact that I've done drifting racing for 16 years and drag racing and never hurt myself [but have now] injured myself on a random runaway car is pretty unlucky.
"For a couple of days I couldn't really move my right leg and that was scary because they [the doctors] said it had this crushing injury and I didn't really understand it.
"They were talking to people about maybe losing my lower leg and having to cut from top to bottom and I was on a ward with people who had legs off and were having legs off. That scared me.
"I think it's traumatic [the video]. I don't want to see it."
He said they later found out the car had an issue with its handbrake.
They also fitted the car with two new doors and fixed its rear.
Karl said: "Many people have asked what's happened and I've struggled to explain properly so here you go.
"The car was put in reverse twice so that crushed my leg harder into the booth.
"I'm now hobbling about but there's still some pretty grim internal damage and a hole in my groin area. That said I've done way better than the doctors and physio thought I would at this point.
"I've been brave enough to download the video and share it so I know I was dumb trying to stop it it all happened so fast so be kind."
One commented: "You're gonna have to start wearing a Cape now."
A second said: "Lucky lucky man."
A third added: "That could have been a lot worse, glad you're on the mend."

Live F1 British Grand Prix qualifying: latest updates from Silverstone
Welcome to our live coverage for qualifying for the 2025 British Grand Prix. As it has been for nearly four decades, the race takes place at Silverstone which is, for my money, the best track on the calendar alongside Suzuka, Interlagos and the Circuit of the Americas. Not only are its high-speed sections a challenge for the drivers and a thrill for the fans, but it also produces excellent racing by and large. Could we see another British winner this year? Lewis Hamilton has an incredible record at Silverstone and won here last year for Mercedes. Lando Norris comes off the back of a victory in Austria and with the McLaren has the fastest car on the grid. Believe it or not, both of them are in contention this weekend. Hamilton's season at Ferrari has been one largely of struggle, but the team's recent floor upgrade appears to be working. After an improved showing in Austria last week, where they finished third and fourth behind the two McLarens, they have performed strongly in the three practice sessions this weekend. Indeed, Charles Leclerc was the fastest in final practice earlier today, but it is difficult to get a proper read on where the others are because of various stoppages and red flags. First a piece of debris from Oliver Bearman's Haas brought out the first red flag. The session was then restarted but Gabriel Bortoleto crashed in his Sauber, suffering suspension failure. And then Bearman spun as he was entering the pit lane, losing his front wing and nose. Another Briton who was in contention last year, George Ruselll, might find it harder to get to the front in 2025. But let's not count him out just yet. Qualifying begins at 3pm BST and we will be here for all the build-up, live updates and reaction from it.

Ollie Bearman handed severe penalty for British GP after crash in pit-lane
Ollie Bearman has been handed a 10-place grid penalty for Sunday's British Grand Prix after crashing in red flag conditions in practice. The 20-year-old, competing in his first F1 home race, lost control of his Haas car upon entering the pit-lane in the final practice session on Saturday. Bearman's car spun into the wall, though he did manage to drive it back to his garage. However, given the incident took place in red flag conditions where car control is paramount, the stewards have dished out a severe penalty for Bearman's race on Sunday. The Haas driver also received four penalty points, taking his total up to eight. Twelve in one year triggers a race ban.
