A 21-year-old man in South Africa has received the world’s first successful penis transplant and accepts the organ as his own, doctors said on Friday.
The operation took a team of surgeons nine hours and has allowed the patient to become sexually active.The man’s penis was amputated three years ago after a circumcision went wrong at a traditional initiation ceremony. The patient, who has not been named, received the new organ from a deceased donor on 11 December and has regained all functions.
Professor Andre van der Merwe, head of the urology division at Stellenbosch University, whose staff carried out the operation at Tygerberg hospital in Cape Town, said the recipient is doing “extremely well” both physically and psychologically.
“The patient accepted the penis as his own,” he told the eNews Channel Africa (eNCA). “He told me in no uncertain terms that the fact it belonged to somebody else is completely out of his mind and he’s moved on with this as his own penis. That’s absolutely the way we want it.”

No.
But you may be for thinking of it. ;-)
Besides, who but a homophobe would even care? As a strict heterosexual male, I know I don't care about the sexual preferences of others.
Grow up and DO get an education; homosexuality is not a contagious desease like leprosy.
