oman in a committed relationship with a man who has a smaller-than-average manhood has opened up about the question everyone always seems to ask.
Penny Talbot has found genuine happiness with her partner, Jake Timms.
Their relationship includes a deeply personal aspect that some might consider a challenge.
Jake was born with a condition known as micropenis—a medical term for a significantly smaller-than-average penis, typically defined as less than 2.8 inches when erect.
Although this condition affects only about 0.6% of men worldwide, according to Healthline, it remains widely misunderstood and carries a strong stigma.
Penny, who has been in a relationship with Jake for nearly two years, says their intimacy is more fulfilling than ever.
She firmly believes that Jake is the “complete package,” both emotionally and physically.
“When I saw Jake for the first time, I wasn’t shocked—in fact, it was quite the opposite,” she told the Daily Star.
“I thought he was absolutely perfect. Jake and I have a very healthy sex life, and I always feel satisfied.”
Jake, a former army serviceman, shared that he didn’t become fully aware of the size difference until his time in the military, where communal living made comparisons unavoidable.
Despite that, he’s never let it shake his self-esteem.
“I’ve never had issues in the bedroom,” he said. “There’s definitely more to sex than size—it’s about connection and technique.”

With the average erect penis size in the UK being around 5.16 inches, Jake’s measurements are noticeably smaller. Still, he maintains a positive and confident outlook.
As he told The Sun, “It’s not the size that matters, but how you use it.”
Interestingly, Penny’s own medical history has made Jake’s size a benefit in their relationship.
Following a hysterectomy 18 months ago due to endometriosis, Penny experienced tenderness that made intercourse painful.
Jake’s smaller size has actually helped them maintain a satisfying sex life without causing discomfort.
“Doctors had warned me that sex could be painful,” she explained. “So in a way, Jake’s size turned out to be ideal—it didn’t cause me any pain.”
The couple has also embraced creativity in the bedroom to keep their connection strong.
They incorporate toys, such as vibrators, into their intimate routine. “Yes, he may be below average in size,” Penny said, “but for me, it’s never been about that.”
“There are so many ways to keep your sex life exciting—it’s not all about a man’s size.”
