Man Demonstrates His Penis Size, Live On Daytime TV

Day time telly is weird. If it's not a couple at each other's throats because someone's been sleeping with someone else's sister, it's Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford bringing out a guest on This Morning and asking him to show them (and the nation) the size of his erect penis using a cardboard cut-out. See? See, what I mean?

Ant Smith was on the show to promote his book, The Small Penis Bible (I'm a big fan of that name), which he hopes will help remove some of the stigma around being a slightly less well-endowed dude.

The hosts send Ant to go and pull out the paper penis on the cardboard model (stood next to one with an average-sized paper penis, for scale). And, to me, it doesn't look like there's a lot of difference in it. Ruth points out that, although he's an inch when flaccid, it 'extends' to four inches. Ant replies that's the 'good thing'.

Ruth, like a dog with a bone, asks: "You feel you can do a lot when it's at full capacity then?"

"I use more than that part of my anatomy in my relationship with my beautiful wife," Ant responded. Just to remind you, this was on telly at lunchtime.

I mean, fair play to him. I think he's doing a good thing. Men shouldn't be made to feel bad if they're less than 5.16in (the average worldwide penis size), but was the cardboard cut-out necessary? I'm not sure. He told us his dick was four inches. We know what that looks like.

Viewers were also unsure what to make of it:

After asking him to demonstrate the size of his penis compared to the average, Ruth noted: "While erect there's only an inch in it."

Ant added: "Anxiety grows in the dark, I spent years and years thinking, 'I am the only one with this problem.'

"By keeping quiet I wasn't letting anyone else with the same problem realise that you're never really alone.

"Whatever your issue is, there are seven billion of us. There will be someone else out there who identifies and can help."

Which, I suppose, is a good thing.
