A man with a p£nis the size of a sim card has launched a fundraising appeal to make his 0.38inch (1cm) manhood bigger.
Michael Phillips says he needs $22,000 for the p£nis-enlarging procedure.
He says his tiny p£nis, thought to be the smallest in the world, has been a source of daily embarrassment, has affected his confidence and even makes it difficult to pee.
He wrote: “I have worked hard to save as much as I can toward the cost of surgery and injections that could help increase the girth and allow me to use the restroom more normally. However, I still need additional support to cover the full cost of the procedure.
He said: “While this procedure will not cure my Microp£nis condition, it would make a significant difference in my daily life by helping me avoid the need for pull ups and regain some normalcy and comfort.”
Michael, who has featured on TV talking about his tiny member, said he hoped to raise awareness that it was a genuine medical condition and not “just a slang term”.
He says everyday tasks like going to the toilet without making a mess is difficult for him.
The procedure involves an injection of semi-permanent dermal filler into his private parts. He hopes the injection will allow him to stop wearing nappies, which he is currently using, and use the toilet normally.
He added on the gofundme page: “Your support would mean the world to me and help me take a big step toward living with more dignity and independence. Thank you for your kindness and for considering a donation to my fundraiser.”
Michael, of North Carolina in the US, said he first realised he had a small p£nis in high school when a girl asked him how big it was and she laughed when he told her.
He wasn’t officially diagnosed with the medical condition until last year.
A microp£nis is a medical condition which causes a willy to be abnormally small, specifically less than 2.6 inches when flaccid but stretched.
Michael says his p£nis is 0.38inches when erect. He previously told TMZ it was about the size of his fingernail when erect.
