A US man who has staked the uncontested claim of having the smallest penis in the world says he has booked a procedure to enhance his member at least somewhat after soliciting the online public’s financial support for that purpose.

In a brief interview on Saturday, 38-year-old Michael Phillips described himself as “really thankful and surprised” over the GoFundMe platform users who supported his campaign for help to pay for the procedure in question.

“I … never thought anyone would care enough to help,” said Phillips, who has previously explained that the procedure should relieve him of urinary issues resulting from his being only 0.38in (0.97cm) long even when wholly tumescent. “[I am] extremely grateful.”

Coming out to say you have the world's smallest penis to raise awareness and body acceptance for men with small penises is actually kinda big dick energy.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

A solid point. (Pun intended.)

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I don't know man. This poor dude is 3/8 in (little less than 10mm for those who have trouble) hard. I mean, what's he got to lose?

Came here for an Elon joke, was not disappointed

I'm looking forward to pirating his first post-op porn vid

I was tempted to post this in 'Uplifting News' as a joke.

But I think it belongs here.

Yeah, just a little.

A brave man and a necessary conversation about the casual shaming of people's genitalia.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Fuck this guy. He sends unsolicited dick pics.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

*sent, past-tense. Yeah it was fucked up but he did it to people that were making fun of him and his condition and he's since acknowledged that it was gross and wrong to do what he did. It's ok to not forgive the dude but misrepresenting the situation to get others on your side is kinda lame.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago

You may be right but as a woman, I am incredibly skeptical.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To people who publicly make fun of it.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

It’s not okay, no matter the context. Not saying anyone should be making fun of his disability. I know it causes him many other health issues and I’m glad he’ll get help with those but unsolicited dick pics are not okay regardless.

Public mockery is solicitation.

Now, usually I heavily agree with the feminist POV. This world was built to keep men empowered over women, no denying that.

However, I'm gonna have to side with the above. Public mockery of the fella is getting as involved as it's possible to get.

One can't attempt to gain social standing at his expense then claim offense when he fights back in the only way he can.

Enhancement to make it even smaller? That would be funny :D

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not sure that would be called an enhancement in such a case 😅

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Depends on you and your partners kinks i guess

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Computer, enhance 😏

Smallest peni in the world?

South Carolina, USA

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Did Howard Stern already find the smallest peni?
