Who is Ant Smith and does he have the world’s smallest penis?
AS the famous saying goes, size doesn’t matter – just ask Ant Smith.
The performance poet has won praise for his bravery after talking about his micro penis and even penning a book about it. But who is he? And what has he had to say?
Who is Ant Smith?
Born in Barking, East London, Ant Smith is a 50-year-old performance poet who is married to his sound recordist wife Christine.
Ant first started attracting attention when revealed the size of his manhood when he was performing a poem he’d written.
The poet wrote the verse called Shorty and used his humour to tackle the often taboo issue about men’s private parts, including the average size.
Since then, he’s had an overwhelming response from men, who claim they have the same experience but were previously worried to speak out about it in case they were judged.
Ant was in the spotlight once again when, in 2015, he also threw an international party in London called the Small Penis Party as part of a documentary on the issue.
Does Ant Smith have the smallest penis in the world?
The now famous man has previously stated that he has spent more than 30 years of his life worrying about the size of his manhood – but it’s not known if his is the world’s smallest.
He revealed: “Growing up it was a considerable embarrassment to me.
“At about 3.5in it wasn’t so small but seemed so much smaller than everyone else’s.
“I was teased at school and it made me so self-conscious I didn’t have sex until I was 21.
“I would get embarrassed if the condom slipped off as my penis was too small to keep it on.
“It isn’t something you can openly discuss with your friends, even though so many men have a hang-up about it.
“Somehow the size of your penis has become linked to how much of a ‘man’ you are, which is nonsense. My wife assured me my size made no difference.
“I tackled the issue with humour and wrote a poem about my tiny willy called Shorty.”
MEN'S HEALTH
What has Ant Smith said about the size of his penis?
Far from being shy about the topic, Ant decided to write a book about his experiences called The Small Penis Bible.
It falls into the self-help book genre and is is filled with real-life stories and Ant’s trademark humour.
The Small Penis Bible is also said to answer everything about penis size anxiety, penis enlargement and living with a small penis.
Ant was also been hired by blood-testing company Thriva to front a campaign telling people: “There’s nothing wrong with a little prick”.
The world’s first preventative health service wants people to conduct blood tests from home to keep a track on their health.
At the time, he said: “While playful, it’s a serious message, we will all be better off if we properly monitor what’s happening inside our bodies that we perhaps can’t see in the mirror.
“It’s something some people are scared of addressing, even if all it takes is a small prick.”
