Man with ‘world’s smallest manhood’ explains how it impacts dating life

Michael Phillips has been open in the past about his medical condition, admitting that life isn't exactly straight-forward with a micropenis.

In fact, the 36-year-old has previously spoken about his goal of officially being awarded the world's smallest penis by being given the Guinness World Record for the size of his manhood.

He admitted that the condition has had an effect on his sex life and relationships, finally deciding to see a doctor about it in April 2024, though he has chosen not to live his life in fear and shame.

Michael has opened up about how it has limited him in the bedroom in the past, as Healthline clarified that a micropenis measures under three inches (7.5cm) when fully stretched, though while medical treatments can help with size, it still functions like normal manhoods.

However, he says that his manhood is less than an inch in length, even claiming that he only realised it was different to others after a girl saw his for the first time in high school.

Speaking in an honest interview with IGV, Phillips spoke about some of the more personal challenges that he faces with it, admitting that he hasn't yet 'fully come to terms with having a micropenis'.

Opening up on the effects it had on his own relationships, Michael explained: "It impacted relationships in the sense that while there may be women out there totally accepting and wouldn’t mind, the process you have to go through and many times you have to explain your situation to new women has left me just avoiding them altogether."

He admitted that it's been the 'biggest challenge for him', as he's still a virgin and struggles to have open discussions about it with potential partners.

Michael insists that the right person will stick around if they're worth it.

"It wasn’t until joking about being a Guinness World holder that I realized I might actually have the world’s smallest. If I could go for it, I would - I think it could help bring more awareness," he admitted.

He said that he uses humour as a coping mechanism, finding it to be a good way to release, though he also uses Instagram to remedy his self-esteem issues as he now has a community supporting him.

Michael opened up about society's obsession with size and the unrealistic standards set for men, adding that terms like 'shrimp d***' and 'chode' are ignorant.

"There really isn’t very much representation for small sizes in media and almost zero mention of micropenis being portrayed as being a real medical condition and not a slang joke term," he highlighted.

He claimed that size 'isn't everything' needed for pleasure, pointing out that attractiveness and the perception that bigger equals better, has a part to play.

"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 added.

Now, he is advocating for early detection and medical intervention, hoping that his story will help others with the some problem find comfort and feel like they aren't alone.
