Most lads will have absolutely no sympathy for a man who is complaining about having a large penis.
However, Matt Barr insists that having the 'largest penis in Britain' is a 'genuine problem'.
The Cambridge University graduate is said to be in the top 0.01 percent of the global population when it comes to penis length.
Bear in mind that the average size of an erect penis is 5.2 inches - and Matt's is 13 inches.
But earlier this year, the 40-year-old opened up about the various issues he faces, like the time his penis left a woman concussed.

He told This Morning back in April: "It's difficult, because it's not something you really spring on people as a surprise, because it just does scare people away generally.
"But obviously [you don't want to be] creepy and bring it up too early. [So] how you start that conversation?"
Matt explained how he was once embarrassingly asked to leave a yoga class because his 'bulge was a distraction'.
"I was wearing a very baggy shirt and shorts [but because of the] yoga positions, people just got the wrong idea," he said.

"And that's the way it sometimes goes, but you can dress normally with baggy clothing, and it's not too difficult."
Many would be quick to assume Matt would jump at the chance of penis reduction surgery, considering the difficulties he experiences on a daily basis, but this isn't the case.
On why he won't get reduction surgery, he revealed: "I have looked into this - it's very expensive surgery, it costs about £15,000 roughly.
"It's not done very often. It's only done normally, in the cases of tumours and things like that. In the case of normal function, it's not common."
Matt also told the Metro that performing such a surgery comes with risks.

"It’s super rare actually. It can lead to poor erectile health afterwards, it’s visually unappealing because of the way they cut away at it - you’re left with stitches and scars - and it’s a very severe choice," he said.
"If I was in a long term relationship I’d want that to be an option we could pursue, but you also have the thought of 'what if I get a reduction and then I meet someone who would really like [me] when [I] was big?'."
Though, he acknowledges that 'people don’t see (having a big penis) as a problem' and it's usually something that's 'promoted in pornography'.
"That doesn’t highlight the real concerns with it," he added. "I started being happy with that attention but that changed over time… Things are a lot trickier.

"It’s a genuine problem but when you highlight it people say 'you have a good deal'. Not every moment of my life is impacted by this but it is affected in certain ways - sometimes very severely.
"Having to spend more on condoms and underwear isn’t the end of the world but it all adds up."
You might remember Matt after his appearance on Channel 4 documentary My Massive C**k in 2022, which is airing again tonight at 11pm.
