This story ain't for the squeamish ... a man in Indiana chopped off his penis and set it ablaze using lighters and gasoline, according to his attorney.

Christopher Peden allegedly told police that he walked inside a garage in Fort Wayne, IN, and sliced off his junk with a kitchen knife, his lawyer, David Felts, tells TMZ.

Felts said Peden then allegedly placed his severed penis on the floor, doused it with gasoline from a container and set it on fire using 4 lighters.

I wonder why?

Also that's a lot of lighters to start a fire.

I fear he/she may be trans, and options in the US are limited right now.

I don't know why, but I find it so amusing that they decided to include the "with lighters and gasoline" detail in the headline.

I get it. I'm too squeamish to go through with it though.
