I'm pretty sure most new born boys have a larger penis than that... I struggle to believe that his tool would really be THAT tiny.

I looked it up, it's just short of a centimeter. There are women with a bigger clit than that.

So of new borns often have a ~90mm flaccid penis at birth, and he is 1cm erect...

I wonder if he was born with an even smaller penis, or if his penis just literally never grew.

I'm about to sully my search history and look this up, but I would imagine there are hormone treatments you can get at a young age.

Edit: short answer. Yes it can help in some cases. Micropenis is often detected in infancy. And seemingly often caused by very low testosterone levels during development

In the US, due to a shitty health care system, men usually self-medicate at a later age with a giant pickup truck or a douche sports car.

Being in the epstein files, or buying tesla/twitter.

"or" should be "and" as Musk is also in the files.

Idk if Bill Gates bought a tesla though

I feel sorry for his exwife.

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I feel sorry for his victims.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes, that too.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

gulp

info please

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Here you can find the information you were looking for.

And here I added some information about the clitoris size too.

The clitoris is also between 0.2 to 3.5 cm long, and up to 1 cm wide.

Oh I thought you meant Denise Masino.

I was hoping to find a picture, because it's fascinating. It can only have been the result of a major medical issue, I assume. With most major medical issues, a doctor will try to do something. But, did he never show it to a doctor out of shame?

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

It is often due to very low testosterone levels during infancy. And seemingly often detected during birth.

Hormone treatment can help in some cases.

Though it's worth noting, his micropenis is significantly smaller than other men's micropenis. There are those that very much can have penetrative sex. And then there's this guy...
