A woman whose partner has a ‘micropenis’ has finally addressed the question everyone seems to be curious about.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, roughly 1.5 in every 10,000 babies born in the U.S. have a micropenis, a condition that affects just 0.6% of people globally.
It’s incredibly rare — and Jake Timms happens to be among those living with it, with his erect length measuring under 2.8 inches. But his girlfriend, Penny Talbot, says it’s never been an issue in their relationship.
Before they became a couple two years ago, Penny and Jake were just friends. When things turned romantic, she says Jake was upfront about it from the very beginning.
“He wasn’t ashamed in the slightest — honestly, I’d say he was confident about it,” she told The Sun. “I think he just wanted to be upfront in case I had any expectations, but I wasn’t bothered at all.”
In fact, Penny said their intimate life has been more satisfying than ever.

Speaking to the Daily Star, she said: “When I first saw Jake’s, I wasn’t shocked — quite the opposite. I actually thought it was just right. Our sex life is great, and I always feel fulfilled.”
Penny emphasized that she and Jake enjoy a “very healthy” sex life, telling The Sun: “For me, intimacy isn’t just about penetration or reaching climax — it’s about the build-up, the connection, and everything that leads into it.”
She added again: “When I first saw Jake’s penis, it didn’t scare me — I genuinely thought it was perfect.”
Still, despite Penny’s appreciation, Jake’s friends like to tease him — but he handles it with a sense of humor.
“It’s typical guy banter,” Penny said. “I’ve heard them joke about it being like a piece of dental floss, but Jake just laughs it off.”
She also noted that even his mom joins in on the lighthearted teasing, often chuckling at his jokes, like how his two older brothers supposedly “got all the good stuff.”
Penny herself lives with endometriosis — a chronic medical condition that impacts around 10% of women and girls of reproductive age, totaling roughly 190 million people globally, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. As a result, intercourse can sometimes be painful — which is why Jake’s smaller size actually works in their favor.
Penny explained: “People always ask if Jake’s is the smallest I’ve ever encountered, and honestly, I don’t like to dwell on past partners.”
“Sure, he’s below the average size — but for me, that’s never been what matters in the bedroom.”
“There are so many ways to keep intimacy exciting and fulfilling. Believe it or not, satisfaction doesn’t rely solely on the size of a guy’s equipment.”
Jake agrees with that sentiment, telling The Sun: “It’s not about how big you are — it’s about how you use what you’ve got.”
Another man with a micropenis, Ant Smith, opened up last year about his own journey, saying he struggled with self-esteem for a long time. But over time, he’s grown to embrace who he is.
“Somehow, society has linked penis size with masculinity, which is absurd,” he said during an appearance on This Morning. “My wife always told me it never made a difference to her.”
