Anna* has been seeing her current boyfriend for nine months now – and it was all going swimmingly until recently.
Calling into Metro’s Just Between Us podcast for advice, she told hosts Diana Vickers and Jack Guinness that everything was ‘going well’ with her current beau until he looked at one of her old photo dumps on Instagram.
‘[He] saw one of me with an old boyfriend, someone he immediately recognised, who had been in the news and on telly for having the biggest ever willy,’ she said.
‘Ever since, he’s been acting weird.’
She added that her ex was ‘way too big’ to fit her, and that she’d told her new man that she ‘only saw him a few times.’ However, he doesn’t believe her.
‘I don’t want this insecurity to end things. I don’t know how to get through to him,’ she worried.
So, how can Anna go forward? Our hosts reckon that while she hasn’t done anything wrong in this situation, her boyfriend could take a little bit of wisdom on board.
Diana said: ‘The past is the past. She didn’t even know that you existed. It was years and years ago.
‘You’ve looked at an old photo dump and then gone doing a little research, you know what I mean? And actually, she didn’t want you to know that.

Is having a large penis really all that?
So, is having a large, ahem, member necessarily always straightforward? Matt Barr has one of the world’s largest penises, measuring in at over 11 inches and over 12 inches when in a penis pump, with a circumference of over 7.75 inches at the thickest point.
This leaves him in the top 0.01% of the global population when it comes to penis size – but as he previously told Metro, the Cambridge-educated 41-year-old is fed up with being fetishised.
‘It’s a thing that people don’t see as a problem at all. It’s either a joke on a mainstream show or it’s promoted in pornography. That doesn’t highlight the real concerns with it,’ Matt said.
While the rhetoric around large penis size equates it to masculinity, being impressive in bed and labels it a ‘gift’, Matt’s experiences aren’t largely coherent with this.
He was once banned from a yoga class after being kicked out because his ‘bulge was causing a “distraction.”‘
Yoga isn’t the only thing off limits. Matt was kicked out of a hotel because he was ‘accused of having an erection in the public pool.’
And, as anonymous reader Tom* previously wrote in Metro‘s Sex Column, his penis size meant he was struggling to have sex with his girlfriend.
‘Most of my mates (who’ve seen me in the changing rooms over the years) think it’s hilarious and I have various nicknames I won’t share,’ he wrote.
A few months after he started dating his current partner, he noticed that she was avoiding having what he calls ‘proper sex’ with him.
He added: ‘Eventually I asked her what was wrong, and she admitted that she finds intercourse uncomfortable and has only been pretending to enjoy it. She said that even when we do have penetrative sex, she just wants it to be over ASAP.’
