Man with 'UK's biggest penis admits difficulty dating and how it affects his life

A man who claims to have 'Britain's largest penis' has revealed why he won't be opting for size reduction surgery despite the numerous challenges it presents. Matt Barr, 40, first realised his penis was larger than average during post-PE showers at school.

His penis measures more than 11 inches, putting him well above the UK average erect size of 5.2 inches. However, having such a large endowment has led to a variety of issues, including dating difficulties and misunderstandings during yoga classes.

Despite these problems, penis reduction surgery is a rare, complex and costly procedure. During his appearance on This Morning on Tuesday, host Ben Shephard asked if Matt had considered surgery to reduce his size.

Matt explained on the ITV show: '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, who has experienced feeling light-headed while wearing a condom and has had trouble finding one that fits properly, also shared how his large penis affects his life. He added: '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 do you start that conversation?

Matt, who falls into the top 0.01% for penis sizes, previously featured on Channel 4 documentary 'My Massive C***', where he explored his surgical options with Dr Nenad Djakovic, a urology specialist. However, after being informed that even losing an inch could have a 'life-changing' impact, he decided against the surgery.

Penis reductions are incredibly rare, complex and costly. The first instance only took place in the US in 2015 - and such cases have been sparse ever since. In conversation with the Metro, Matt revealed: '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.

'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?'

Matt shared on This Morning that his large penis size once caused an awkward situation during a yoga class. He explained: 'I was wearing a very baggy shirt and shorts [but because of the] yoga positions, people just got the wrong idea. And that's the way it sometimes goes, but you can you can dress normally, baggy clothing, and it's not too difficult. '.

Matt also recalled a date where the woman had an 'ulterior motive' for him to appear on her OnlyFans to make money. Commenting on Matt's situation, Ben noted that 'people are very mistaken about what benefits and gives you in life' - and acknowledged that it must be difficult for Matt to discuss, given its intimate nature and his shy personality.

Ben mused: 'It's fascinating, because you can you can imagine that the majority of people watching will be going "what an absolute gift to be able to stand there and have more than more than enough". 'Would you say having a smaller penis would mean you'd be happier than having you big one?'

Matt humorously suggested that there are more desirable traits a person can possess, such as 'the good looks of Ben Shephard'. Speaking about the challenges of discussing such a personal topic due to his shy nature, he stated: 'I'm trying to dispel some of the stigmas. I don't see why there's any difference talking about this and talking about your breasts or any other bodily part...it's not sexualised. It's just a fact of life.
