As Lorena Bobbitt is the first to acknowledge, hers is an ordinary life. Married with a college-age daughter, together the family enjoy simple pleasures like film nights or walks in the sunshine.
'So far, bokep chindo so good,' she says. 'I can't complain, we are happy.'
Certainly, today, 55-year-old Lorena would live in relative anonymity were it not for one startlingly notable thing.
'The whole world knows I cut his penis off,' as she herself puts it. 'There's no way to candy-coat it; that's what happened.'
The penis in question belonged to her then-husband John Wayne Bobbitt, a former marine two years her senior to whom Lorena had been married for four years when, on a Wednesday evening in June 1993, she sliced it off with a butcher's knife.
