The UK-based computer programmer does not fall within the defined range of a micropenis, under 2.8 inches erect.
“I was teased at school and it made me so self-conscious I didn’t have sex until I was 21. I would get embarrassed if the condom slipped off as my penis was too small to keep it on,” he said on ITV’s This Morning, adding that he dodged changerooms and dreaded intimacy. “When I grew up it was the perceived wisdom that six or seven inches is normal. You get anxiety when you stick seven in your mind.”
