says he has a 0.38in member

Poor guy. I've been with women who have clits bigger than that.

The 2-decimal precision of the measurement is also an interesting touch.

I'm glad I'm not him, but if I were him, I think I'd learn from the Sisterhood and get skillful with fingers and tongue. I'd be nervous having anyone chopping on my winkie, for whatever reason, though microsurgery can be amazingly good these days.

You know, it could be worse. I for exemple have a good sized penis but I got 0 action in 10years. I wouldn't mind trading length for occurrence

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

is your username about your penis

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Hold up, nobody even asked me

[–] FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He said he's struggling to approach "females"...

All of a sudden my empathy's on strike.

Wo-men. How hard is it to use the humanizing word?

Edit : my preshot was correct, in the end of the article, it's reported that he sent unsolicited intimate pics and made fatphobic insults.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The surgery might be expensive, but it will save a lot of money over the years with current fuel prices, as he can go drive a normal car instead of a massive truck. More Americans should do this, especially fElon and diaper Donny.

and that's just the tip of the matter

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

that's the problem, it's not just the tip, it's the whole thing!

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then there would be nothing special about him :(

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He'll just be the guy who USED TO have the world's smallest penis. But nobody will believe him when he whips out his perfectly average penis.

[–] PNW_Doug@lemmy.world 91 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Joking aside, what a rotten bit of genetic luck with which to get saddled. Best of luck, guy.

Wait....penis enlargement surgery EXISTS??? Why don't all men know about this??? Hang on guys, I'm going to find out what the largest penis in history has been.....and then I'm getting TRIPLE that size!!!

[–] titter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

For what i recall, from being chronically online:

They go in around your lil guy and release the shaft from everything around it and shift it forwards. It gives you more visibility of what exists but does not actually make anything bigger. Idk about adding anything, because i did not look into it further.

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago

Rumor is that's what happened to Elon's dick. Botched enlargement surgery.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's my understanding that it's more of a last case scenario kind of thing, like, most guys don't want to have surgery on their penis and it can also have complications too.

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, unnecessary surgery around all those nerve endings sounds crazy.

Congratulations on your new 14 inch wang, no feeling.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah... I don't think they can add nerves or whatever tissue your the dick is made out of.... I wouldn't think the end result could be all that functional. Who gives a shit about aesthetics if you can't cum...

[–] PanGodofPanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 hours ago

They can't add nerves, but they can connect existing ones assuming there's an effective technique for the structure (probably not when you're going for something this....inhuman)

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

Apparently it's only girth they can modify. Not length.

I kinda feel for the guy. That’s a really unfortunate situation. He says it’s the size of a pinky finger nail. It’s gotta be hard for him to go to the bathroom, which he says is why he wants it enlarged.

[–] brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Damn this is almost a transitioning operation. Give him a big hog now.

[–] MrEff@lemmy.world 77 points 2 days ago (6 children)

This is actually a great example of how the majority of 'gender affirming care' is actually for a person who is already assigned at birth the gender they are affirming.

This male, who was assigned male at birth, is seeking gender affirming care to become... more male.

Michael Phillips said online on Thursday that he needed the procedure to improve his ability to urinate, which is difficult for him given that he is reportedly 0.38in (0.97cm) long when fully erect. Otherwise, he said he must continue to wear diapers for adults with incontinence every day.

This is a compelling reason. Let's help the guy out. Donated.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

I commend him for publicly talking about it. I also commend him on his ability to admit his poor behavior. I genuinely hope he gets what he wants from this experience.

Does this qualify as called gender-affirming healthcare?

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

Almost certainly. Gender affirming care also includes things like breast reduction for men, and anything else that is done to make someone appear more like the stereotypical form of a given gender. It doesn't matter if you're assigned that gender at birth either.

He must have a HUGE truck

Is that what we’re calling the SpaceX IPO now?

This sounds difficult for him. The number of crass jokes people feel compelled to make reminds me of what trans people have long had to suffer. When someone's going through something unfamiliar to us, let's not just reach for the cheapest shots but try to be a bit more compassionate.
