'IT'S RIDICULOUSLY BIG'
Who is Andrew Wardle, why does he have a bionic penis and when did he lose his virginity?
Andrew, 45, from Manchester, who was born without a penis and given up for adoption as a baby, has been fitted with a new 50K todger
ANDREW Wardle has been given a £50,000 bionic penis after being born without one.
Let’s take a look at the brave Brit’s story.

Who is Andrew Wardle?
Andrew, 45, from Manchester, was born without a penis because of a one-in-20million birth abnormality.
The Brit was so ill when he was born with a condition called bladder exstrophy that doctors at Stockport’s Stepping Hill Hospital thought he would die.
Hong Kong surgeons were flown in to put his bladder back in his body, but he has since endured more than 100 operations on it and his kidneys.
Unable to cope with such a poorly baby, his single mother put him up for adoption.
Andrew turned to drugs to cope with his condition and even twice attempted to end his own life.
Only in his late thirties did he discover that doctors might be able to fashion one for him using an operation called a phalloplasty.
He eventually went under the knife in June, when surgeons created the organ using skin from his arm and nerves from his legs and then attached it in a ten-hour procedure.
Andrew spent ten days with the agonising erection and was ordered to wait at least six weeks before having sex.
He collapsed with a suspected gall bladder infection just days after losing his virginity.

When did he lose his virginity?
Nearly two months after being fitted with his inflatable manhood, Andrew bedded girlfriend Fedra Fabian, using a button to pump it up.
The 45-year-old, who uses a button in his groin to inflate the organ with saline fluid via a valve in his scrotum, told The Sun he was chuffed with his “ridiculously big” todger.
But after using his new manhood to have sex for the first time — in a 30-minute session with girlfriend Fedra Fabian — he’s set his heart on being a dad.
Describing his long-awaited debut sex session, Andrew told The Sun: “Fedra had booked a romantic trip to Amsterdam for my birthday, but I felt that would have been too much pressure.

“I had to test out the function every morning and night and leave it erect for 20 minutes. So one morning, two days before we went away, it just happened. It was nice and natural — and that’s how I wanted it to be.
“After what Fedra and I have been through, it’s the cherry on the cake.”
Not only can Andrew now experience pleasurable feelings, but the organ is plumbed into his testicles — raising the possibility of children.
And Andrew says his revolutionary operation — funded entirely on the NHS but carried out with Harley Street surgeons — has filled him with optimism for the future.
What has Andrew said about his surgery?
Andrew told The Sun: “I’m just looking forward to having a fresh start. It’s like I’ve been through a war and I’m just healing and getting my head straight.
“I owe it to my amazing surgeons to go out and enjoy my life.
“I want to thank everyone past and present in the NHS who has got me to this point in my life — I would not be here without you today.”
