It might sound like the kind of story people laugh about — until you hear Matt Barr’s side of it. The 40-year-old from the U.K., who holds the record for Britain’s largest penis, says life with his anatomy isn’t nearly as glamorous as people assume.
He first realized he was “different” during school showers after gym class. Back then, he didn’t feel lucky — he felt embarrassed. “I just wanted to be normal,” Matt shared on This Morning. Years later, that size brought more awkward moments than confidence.
Dating hasn’t been easy. “You can’t exactly spring it on someone,” he explained. “It scares people away.” One date even used him for her own gain — inviting him out only to show him off on OnlyFans. “I thought it was a normal date,” Matt said, “but she just wanted to film me.”
Even everyday life can be tricky. During a yoga class, he was asked to leave because instructors assumed he was aroused. “I was wearing baggy clothes,” he said. “People just got the wrong idea.”
Now, he’s putting his experiences into a memoir titled A Long Story: Life With One of the World’s Largest Penises — hoping readers will see past the headlines and find the human being behind the joke.
