The world’s largest penis has left its owner with a broken arm, with the injury so bad his holiday plans had to be cancelled.

Matt Barr, who claims to have the ‘world’s largest penis’ — which has been independently verified to measure in at 37cm (14.5 inches) — says he was left hospitalised after a shower incident.

“It was a very embarrassing accident,” Mr Barr told The Mirror.

“One of the issues with being so large, especially in hot water showers, is that it’s not exactly easy to see my feet.

“Especially when I move too fast, it can definitely mess with my balance, too.”

Mr Barr explained that he was rushing to get ready for work, he couldn’t see a hazard in the shower, due to his large appendage, when disaster arose.

“I didn’t see the excess shower gel in the tub because my penis was the only thing in my eye line.

“I slipped on it, causing me to fall out of the tub completely head first and crack my shoulder on the hard floor. I got two fractures as a result.”

Mr Barr, who has openly discussed the issues of his large penis before, revealed he had suffered minor injuries and close calls before, however this incident was the biggest.

“Usually, it’s just been when I’ve had a partner in the shower with me,” he said.

“I’ve always been anxious about going into public showers because of the reactions I get, but now I’m a bit scared of private ones, too. I’ve realised I need to shower less quickly.

“And I’ve bought a bathmat, so even though my penis might be in the way of my view, I’m less likely to lose my footing.”

Mr Barr describes himself as having an “abnormal body”.

“While I’m naturally clumsy, it doesn’t help that I have a different anatomy to most — especially such a large one.”

Mr Barr, who was hospitalised for his broken arm, sadly had to cancel a summer holiday he planned due to the injury.
