Male genital self-mutilation (GSM) is a rare but serious phenomenon. Some of the
risk factors for this act are the presence of religious delusions, command
hallucinations, low self-esteem, and feelings of guilt associated with sexual
offences. Other risk factors include failures in the male role, problems in the
early developmental period, such as experiencing difficulties in male
identification and persistence of incestuous desires, depression, and having a
history of GSM. The eponym Klingsor Syndrome, which involves the presence of
religious delusions, is proposed for GSM. Psychiatric case reports of male GSM in
the literature are rare and mostly anecdotal.
