Man Claiming To Have The World’s Smallest Manhood Opens Up About The Hardest Challenge He Faces Each Day

Michael Phillips has spoken honestly about daily life, dating, and confidence while living with a micropenis

A man who believes he has the world’s smallest penis has spoken openly about the main struggle he faces in his everyday life.

Michael Phillips, who lives in North Carolina, has long said that his manhood is smaller than average, something he became aware of at a young age.

While he noticed the difference during childhood, it was not until much later in life that he decided to seek medical advice and get a proper diagnosis.

Last year, when he was 36, Michael was diagnosed with a rare medical condition commonly known as a micropenis, with his penis reportedly measuring just under one inch.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, a micropenis is defined as an “atypically small penis that’s discovered in infancy or early childhood.”

Even after receiving a diagnosis, Michael admits he has found it difficult to fully process the news, and he says there is one ongoing issue that affects him more than anything else.

“The biggest challenges I’ve faced [are] having a sexual relationship and still being a virgin and being able to talk about it openly because of how embarrassing of a topic it is,” Michael explained, speaking to IGV.

He shared that his confidence around dating and relationships took a major hit after a girl at school saw his penis and laughed at him, an experience that stayed with him for years.

The condition, which is caused by a lack of fetal testosterone during development, is usually diagnosed in people whose penis measures under three inches.

The Cleveland Clinic notes that it affects around 1.5 in 100,000 people in the US, making it extremely rare, even though estimates suggest it may impact around 0.6 percent of people worldwide.

In some cases, early hormone treatment can help encourage growth “toward a more normal length,” which the Clinic describes as around 5.25 inches, with a stretched penile length of 3.67 inches or less used as an indicator of a micropenis.

“I think the biggest misconception is that if a guy has a small penis, he just has a small penis, and not that there may be a medical thing going on,” Michael continued. “More people need to be aware that there is a medical condition called micro penis.”

Speaking to The Sun, he admitted that for most of his life, he did not even realize there was a medical term or condition linked to the size of his penis.

“I was always aware it had been small, but wasn’t aware there was a condition for it,” he told the outlet. “The main reason I went to the doctor was because my penis is actually too small to have sex at all.”

Michael added: “I have had a couple experiences of having sex and wasn’t able to get it in and everything. From there I just stopped trying to date and lost interest in it.”

Since receiving his diagnosis, he has tried to raise awareness about the condition, even though he admits he is still struggling to fully accept it himself.

“I’m still not sure that I have yet fully come to terms with having a micro penis,” he continued, although he said there have been some unexpected positives.

“It wasn’t until joking about being a Guinness World Record holder that I realised I might actually have the world’s smallest.”

“If I could go for it, I would – I think it could help bring more awareness,” Michael said.

“There really isn’t very much representation for small sizes in media and almost zero mention of micro penis being portrayed as being a real medical condition and not a slang joke term.”
