Embedding of beads into the penile skin was observed among 60 foreign workers in the employ of certain Saudi Arabian companies. The procedure had been performed by an unqualified person. They had undergone this procedure in order to increase sexual stimulation of the mate. Infection secondary to implantation procedure had occurred in only 2 cases, necessitating surgical treatment. The first patient was suffering from a penile abscess (one week) after embedding of an ivory bead. The second one was troubled by a painful erection (3 months) after embedding of three glass beads. The other 58 persons had had their implanted beads for varying periods of time, ranging from 3 months to 8 years, without complaint. They refused to have the beads removed. This abnormal procedure is considered to be a manifestation of a suppressed psycho-sexual neurosis.
在受雇于某些沙特阿拉伯公司的60名外籍工人中，观察到珠子嵌入阴茎皮肤的情况。该手术由一名不合格人员实施。他们进行此手术是为了增强对配偶的性刺激。植入手术后继发感染仅发生在2例，需要手术治疗。第一例患者在嵌入一颗象牙珠后出现阴茎脓肿（一周）。第二例在嵌入三颗玻璃珠后出现疼痛性勃起（三个月）。其他58人植入珠子的时间各不相同，从3个月到8年不等，均无不适主诉。他们拒绝取出珠子。这种异常手术被认为是压抑的性心理神经症的一种表现。
