A baby boy in Iraq has left the world reeling after making history by being born with three penises.

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case with three penises or triphallia,” Dr Shakir Saleem Jabali wrote in the International Journal of Surgery Case Reports.

The boy’s parents brought him to the hospital when he was three months old after they discovered a swelling in his scrotum.

And once the doctors examined him, they observed that he had a 2-centimetre (0.8-inch) member near the root of his primary *****, and another 1-centimetre-long ***** under his scrotum.

This rather interesting news was met with a flurry of reactions on Twitter:

a legend is born

Such a lucky guy!

Porn companies.....sign him Now! Bahahaha

God really has his favourite

This is the start of a new species of the luckiest gene of man!!!!????

To all those of you thinking about the kid being some kind of overcompensated miracle and his unending future possibilities with the opposite ***, well, don’t be excited for too long. 

Since the child’s additional phalluses didn’t have urethras, the doctors decided to surgically remove the other two penises and during a follow-up appointment a year later, the boy was pronounced to be problem-free.

Cases of extra penises are extremely rare, with Diphallia - where one extra ***** is identified - affecting about one in every five to six million births.

According to Doctors Shakir Saleem Jabali and Ayad Ahmad Mohammed in the report, “Triphallia (three penises) is an unreported condition in a human until now. Patients with supernumerary penises have a unique presentation and no cases are identical.”

Well, when the child grows up, he is going to hear a story about himself from his parents that will probably leave him speechless for a long, long time.
