I didn't want to kill him, I only wanted to eat him.

The penis eater is back in the news.

A sex expert at the retrial of a German cannibal jailed for killing a man and feeding on his flesh said Tuesday the defendant had not been motivated by a desire to kill but by his victim's wish to be eaten.

He's really quite a nice guy, and such a considerate lover.

Armin Meiwes, who was jailed two years ago for killing a computer engineer who had begged to be eaten, is standing trial for the second time after Germany's top criminal court ruled that his eight-year sentence for manslaughter was too lenient.

You know, I like to think I'm quite open about people's sexual preferences and usually don't judge them on it, but this is just kind of, German.

Meiwes's defense hinges on his victim's request to be eaten and that he was simply fulfilling this desire, a view backed up by a sex psychologist who addressed the court in Frankfurt.

Hmm. Well, the guy did consent to be eaten, and he is an adult.

Right so it's the mother's fault. And the father's sort of but we never really pay much attention to what they do.

The faint hearted can quit reading now.

At an earlier hearing in January, Meiwes told judges how he had severed Brandes's penis and that both had tried to eat it, without success, although Meiwes later ate flesh from the body.

After heavy bleeding, Brandes finally fell unconscious. Believing his victim to be dead Meiwes laid his victim out on a bench and plunged a knife into his neck.

He said that only when he later saw his videotape of killing did he realize that Brandes had still been faintly breathing.

Shit, I would have thought he'd be just fine.
