When a male decides that life is no longer worth living, or that he is no longer interested in procreation or sexual pleasure of any kind; he engages in a
unique and courageous act of self mutilation known as a "down pound". The act itself requires the male to sit on a chair or in a hunched position and then proceed to
punch downward at his genitals, forcefully mashing and smashing his penis and
balls until they no longer are of any use and in some extreme cases, no longer recognizable as genitalia.
In a drunken and distraught state of mind, John
Henry took out his sexual frustrations by down pounding his frank and
beans into a bloody
mess. He regretted this decision almost immediately.
