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

      I’ve heard stories from ladies that made my eyes water. Guys they liked and decided to get physical with only to discover they were working with something roughly the size of their own clitoris. It really is an immediate dealbreaker much of the time, and you can’t blame them for wanting a functional sex life. Poor dudes really got worked by chance. I can’t even figure out how evolution has left this a possibility.

        Evolution works by minimizing this kind of abnormality, but it never disappears. There’s just too much variance in how our DNA works. That’s a good thing, though, because the environment is not static. Without any variance, we would have died out a long long time ago. We need to adapt to survive in new environmental conditions.

          It’s a good point that traits may not be useful now but could be useful later. Perhaps I just lack Imagination but I can’t visualize the change of season that’s going to make micropenis a survival advantage.

            Evolution still doesn’t work that way. If it prevents you from reproducing (like this probably would), it will be selected against, meaning it will be extremely rare (like this is), but it will never just go away unless it isn’t compatible with life (eg, missing an X chromosome).

          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.

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

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

          I would say it’s probably not worth it just because you will most likely have sensory loss and erectile dysfunction which for most would be worse than the problem its self. Theres more risks as well, but those alone sound like a nope from me.

          It exists, but the complications are prohibitive for someone that isn’t hit with disability level malformation. Plus, there’s a limit to what it can do

          There is a ligament that can be relocated to make a flaccid penis appear larger, but there is no enlargement surgery.
