Man with the 'world's smallest penis' reveals surprising thing his doctor told him about his manhood
A man who claims to have the 'world's smallest penis' has revealed the surprising thing his doctor told him about manhood.
The discussion of 'how big it is' has been a divisive one, with many debating whether size actually matters.
North Carolina man Michael Phillips paid his doctor a visit earlier this year after long being worried about the size of his penis.
According to the 36-year-old, the size of his member has left him unable to have sex and also means he has to sit down while having a number one.

He was ultimately diagnosed with a rare medical condition known as having a micropenis.
Michael - whose manhood apparently measures under an inch - told The Sun: "I went to the doctor about four or five months ago with concerns over my penis size. I was informed there is a condition called a micropenis.
"I was referred to a urologist. I was always aware it had been small, but wasn't aware there was a condition for it.
"The main reason I went to the doctor was because my penis is actually too small to have sex at all."
Michael first became aware of his usually small penis when he revealed his size to a girl he was dating at school.
He was met with laughter at the time, and now he claims he's given up on dating altogether.
The 36-year-old 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."
While it has its daily struggles, Michael is channelling his energy in a positive way by wanting to break a Guinness World Record.
He added to The Sun: "I was actually looking to see if there is a Guinness World Record for the smallest and see if I can enter for that.
"I try to turn a negative into a positive, so I’m trying to make everything a positive - so if I can get a title out of it then great."
Michael remains unsure on potential surgery options to enlarge his penis, though he is looking into the matter.
"I wanted to see if there was anything that could be done to make it bigger," he added.
"There are some surgeries, but they would only be able to add about an inch, inch-and-a-half.
"I’m thinking about it, but if that's all that I would be able to gain, then I would still be within the spectrum of a micropenis, so I’m not sure if it would be worth it. I’m still processing it all and have appointments to decide what my next move is.”
