Revision as of 13:47, 23 August 2017 by 68.82.156.129 (talk) (added source)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The term nullo (or smoothie) refers to an extreme body modification subculture made up mostly of men who have had their genitals (and sometimes also their nipples) surgically removed. Nullos are not necessarily transgender; most identify as eunuchs. They are usually either asexuals or submissive homosexuals. The term nullo is short for genital nullification. Though the procedure is mostly done by men there are women who also voluntarily have their vagina stitched closed and clitoris removed.
One of the most famous nullos is Mao Sugiyama, a Japanese artist and asexual activist who in 2012 had his genitals surgically removed, cooked, and served to paying guests at a public banquet. Cannibalism is not a crime under Japanese law. Sugiyama, who uses the nickname "Ham Cybele", also had his nipples removed.
