Man seeks Guinness record for ‘world’s smallest penis’

Michael Phillips, with micropenis, considers Guinness World Record and surgery.

A man from North Carolina, Michael Phillips, claims to have the ‘world’s smallest penis’ and has shared surprising advice from his doctor regarding manhood. The debate over whether size matters has long been contentious. Michael, 36, visited his doctor earlier this year, worried about his small penis size.

He revealed that his small member has left him unable to have sex and necessitates sitting down to urinate. Eventually, doctors diagnosed him with a rare condition called a micropenis.

Michael, whose penis measures under an inch, said he sought medical advice about four or five months ago. “I was referred to a urologist and learned about the condition called micropenis. I knew it was small but wasn’t aware it had a name,” he explained. “I went to the doctor because my penis is too small for sex.”

His awareness of his unusually small penis began in school when he revealed his size to a girl he was dating, resulting in laughter. Since then, he has given up on dating. Michael added, “I’ve had a couple of sexual experiences but couldn’t get it in. After that, I lost interest in dating.”

Despite daily struggles, Michael is trying to turn his situation into a positive by aiming for a Guinness World Record. “I was looking to see if there is a record for the smallest penis and if I could enter for that,” he said. “I try to make everything positive, so if I can get a title out of it, then great.”

Michael remains uncertain about surgery options to enlarge his penis. “I wanted to see if anything could make it bigger. There are surgeries, but they’d only add about an inch or inch-and-a-half. I’m considering it, but if that’s all I can gain, I’d still have a micropenis. I’m still processing it and have appointments to decide my next move,” he concluded.
