A self-styled "eunuch maker" who mutilated paying customers and streamed it online has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 22 years.
Marius Gustavson admitted offences including five counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
He was described at a three-day sentencing at the Old Bailey as "a lunatic", "an arch-manipulator" and "a butcher".
The Norwegian, 46, ran a lucrative business in extreme body modifications.
Judge Mark Lucraft KC said Gustavson had been the mastermind of the "gruesome and grisly", "large-scale" and "extremely dangerous" enterprise.
"On one occasion Gustavson cooked what appeared to be human testicles which were then plated to be eaten, and kept other body parts as 'trophies'," he said.
Judge Lucraft told the court he was "entirely satisfied" that the motivation "was a mix of sexual gratification as well as financial reward".
Some of what happened was "little short of human butchery", he said.
