Matt Barr sent the world's media into a frenzy when he appeared on an episode of This Morning in April this year, when he revealed that he had Britain's biggest (confirmed) penis.
But now, a few months after that initial interview, Matt has spoken about the uproar from the public following the interview, his experiences while being well-endowed, and how having may not be as rosy as you'd think.
Though a previous study had his todger measured at 12 inches (31 cm), the latest scientific study that the Brit took part in revealed that it's actually 14.2 inches (36cm) - so it's bigger than initially thought as well, while not being the biggest medically proven d**k in the UK, but the whole world.
Matt sat down for an interview with LADbible this week as an ambassador of male sex toy company Fleshy, spreading the message that bigger is not always better.

He spoke about his life experiences with his condition, speaking about what he has done to combat it, how his health is impacted by it, the weirdness of his DMs after his initial interview and more.
Luckily, not many people at work have brought the interview up to him, and when they have, he's dealt with it as professionally as you can, while those in his family were already aware of his condition.
In a series of interviews and explanations about his package, Matt has been trying to spread the message that bigger is not necessarily better, while explaining the effects of having it on his physical and mental health.
The deeper issues with his penis will be explored in his upcoming book release, titled 'A Long Story: Life With One Of The World’s Largest Penises', though it's not all negative, as Matt expanded on the amount of attention he's had in the DMs following his virality.

Speaking about some of the DMs he's received in the past few months, he recalled: "I have had people ask me to come around and clean their house naked or something, most of stuff is too explicit to print...
"Some of them have been good, like I had some dates as a result of it as well. So I'm not claiming it was all bad," he admitted, while also adding that he's had the expected video requests from certain people asking him to do certain sexual things, which he has continuously denied.
However, he highlighted the most bizarre request that stand out from the lot: "There was a guy who wanted to draw me in cartoon form as a giant and do all this sex giant sex stuff, apparently, the fetish is called macrophilia."

But while many would have flocked to OnlyFans to benefit from this newfound fame, Matt said that he has no desire to do it as a man in his 40s, though it might have been different if he was part of a different generation.
"I'm sure, if I was 20 years younger, I would have, [because] I'd be more focused on making sure my parents were all good, I'd be in the gym constantly, all these things. But that wasn't the case back then [when he was growing up]."
Matt also spoke about the hate he has got on social media and how unexpected it was, as well as the number of people that don't understand that problems rise from having a huge penis.

When asked if he thinks that the general public have changed their opinions on packing downstairs, he answered: "[They've] not, it has reduced some of those to an idealisation... there are people who use it as a status symbol, I think, regardless, going forward, as opposed to understanding the problems," referring to the idea of big penises being something that most men desire, while most people expect only 'studs' to have a schlong, while Matt says that he himself is not one.
To highlight this point further, Matt opened up about some health issues that he faces with his 14-incher: "Macrophallus is a term that gets thrown around," which is a rare condition that causes an abnormally large penis.
He added: "It's tossed around a lot, but it's really more of a categorisation term. It's not like a medical diagnosis or medical condition."
Essentially though, Matt revealed that getting erect can sometimes cause him to feel unwell, explaining: "It just means there's a lot of issues with blood flow. That's partly why my size kind of fluctuates a bit as well, because it's very difficult to have that much blood flowing around there,

"So I've got lightheaded at times as well, getting erections and things like that, and you can't get fully erect... I've taken some various medication over time to try and to try and shrink it, which seemed to have had more like the opposite effect," the Cambridge-graduate said.
In his final message to men out there who may be worried about their size, he stated that it 'doesn't have any bearing on your masculinity or who you are as a man or your identity', and to 'be careful what you wish for', as you may end up in a scenario like him, where it is more a problem than anything else.
