Man With 278 Penis Piercings Says His Sex Life Is Great

Man With 278 Penis Piercings Says His Sex Life Is Great

The crazy array of genital piercings are among more than 480 he has on his entire body.

This 61-year-old man has got a staggering 278 piercings on his penis but claims that he 'still has great sex'. If you say so!

Rolf Buchholz holds a Guinness World Record for having a total of 453 metal piercings all over his body and unbelievably, his commitment to body art and alterations goes beyond that too with numerous tattoos - including some on his eyeballs.

The German, from Dortmund, even has horn implants on his head.

But believe it or not, this hasn't been a lifelong thing for Buchholz as he waited until he was 40 to get his first piercing.

Despite what some might deem an excessive amount of piercings, the world record holder insists he still has a normal sex life.

He told the Daily Star: "It's not a problem at all. If there was a problem, I would have got rid of them already long ago."

Between his legs isn't the only place where Buchholz has clustered his collection of piercings. The telecom worker has a total of 94 piercings in and around his lips.

He also has scarification across his face with around 90 percent of his body covered in tattoos and implants too.

However, the one modification that really sticks in the memory for him in terms of how painful it was having his palm tattoo.

He said of it: "The body modification changed only my outside."

The symbol-like tattoos are inked on all five fingers, with a large graphic covering the whole of his palm.

Although Buchholz has no worries in the bedroom department, getting through security at airports is a whole different kettle of fish.

Unsurprisingly for a man kitted out to the nines in various tiny bits of metal, he often gets beeped by metal detectors while trying to get through security.

He also gets stared at by people who aren't used to his look too, although you'd think he'd probably have come to expect that sort of thing by now.

Once, he was denied entry to the UAE when he travelled to Dubai after authorities feared that he might practise 'black magic'.

He said: "Those who escorted me back to the plane said it was because of the way I looked and it was because I am black magic."
