Utility workers recovered the severed organ Sunday and surgeons reattached it.
Kim Tran, 35, was charged with first-degree assault, domestic violence and tampering with evidence. She was jailed at the Anchorage Jail with no bail set.
Police spokeswoman Anita Shell said the injury to the 44-year-old man was "brutal, brutal."
At arraignment Sunday afternoon, Tran requested a Vietnamese interpreter. Magistrate Brian Johnson continued the arraignment until Monday with no bail set.
The couple was arguing Saturday because the man, whose name was not released, wanted to end the year-old relationship, Shell said. The pair decided to have sex, and the man agreed to have his arms tied to a window handle above their bed. The woman pulled out a kitchen knife and severed his penis, police said.
After flushing the organ down the toilet, she drove the man to the hospital and helped him to a nurses' station, Shell said. Police, summoned by a hospital worker, found Tran at the couple's home cleaning up the blood, Shell said.
Water utility workers retrieved the penis, and police said surgery to reattach it was successful.
Shell said investigators gave no indication in their report whether Tran showed any remorse in driving the victim to the hospital. "She decided to just go home at that point," Shell said.
