Every ‘micropenis’ reality as 170,000 Brit blokes with tiny manhoods undergo in silence

Need to know

There are hundreds of thousand of Brits suffering in silence with what some like to joke about. Small penis activist Michael Phillips has bravely been speaking out about the condition

Here is everything you need to know about ‘micropenises’ and how they impact Brits

1. Hundreds of thousands of British men suffer in silence with a medical condition called a “micropenis”. While some poke fun at men with small manhoods, having a tiny todger is not a laughing matter as it impacts confidence, relationships and even using the toilet.
2. To be diagnosed with a ‘micropenis’, a man’s appendage must measure less than 2.9in (7.5 cm) long when erect. The average Brit’s manhood is 5.25in (13.3cm). The condition is said to affect 0.5% of men in the UK, meaning about 170,000 blokes.
3. Small penis activist Michael Phillips has bravely been speaking out about the condition and says he has the smallest willy in the world. Earlier this year, the North Carolina resident opened up to This Morning’s Cat Deeley and Ben Sheppard about his struggles.
4. He said: “I was probably in high school, and dealing with girlfriends and stuff like that, I thought I was a late bloomer, maybe one day it would be normal size. But it never happened.”
5. When Ben enquired whether it was ever something he could discuss with his family, Michael, who also disclosed that he was adopted, confirmed that, regrettably, his condition was something he felt he could never mention.
