Chaz Bono Saving Up to Buy a Penis

Chaz Bono has always joked that he wanted to keep his "privates private," but his excursion into reality TV has apparently changed all that.

Rolling Stone he's saving his pennies to pay for a metoidioplasty procedure, i.e. he's buying a penis.

"I could get a phalloplasty, which builds the phallus from a donor site on your body, but I'm leaning more toward a metoidioplasty," Bono tells the magazine.

"It's a procedure that uses what you already have down there, which has grown larger from the testosterone. You end up with a smaller phallus than with the phalloplasty, but it's fully functional, it gets erect, and the sensation is all there."

Bono, who broke up with his fiancé in December, goes into specifics about the size he can expect Little Chaz to be (three inches), and also explains the procedure's hefty price tag.

"… the surgery I want to have, I'd like to have the testicular implants and all of that, and I'd like to be able to urinate through it," he says. "I mean, it's not that big a deal to sit down, but some of the toilet seats in men's rooms are disgusting. The doctor I want to use is in Belgrade. It's going to be a little cheaper there. Probably $25,000, maybe $45,000, I really don't know."

In portions of the interview not online but in the print version of Rolling Stone, Bono also talks about his hopes for an acting career -- "I could see me as one of the guys on 'The Sopranos' … or a cop" -- and explains why he isn't asking mom Cher for the penis cash.

"I don't like to take money from my mom any more than anybody else does," he says. "Being self-supporting is important to me."
