Matt Barr Breaks Arm in Shower Slip He Blames on His Anatomy

He has installed a non-slip bath mat to prevent a repeat accident during recovery.

Overview

  • Barr, 41, whose penis measures 37 cm according to medical records and is exhibited at Iceland’s Phallological Museum, said it blocked his view as he rushed out of the shower and caused a fall on excess gel.
  • The tumble resulted in fractures to his shoulder and upper arm and left him in a sling for several days after hospital treatment in the UK.
  • He has investigated reduction surgery but remained deterred by an estimated £15,000 cost and doubts over its effectiveness.
  • The unusual anatomy has complicated his personal life, including recent anxiety about public showers and a relationship breakup he partly attributes to physical incompatibility.
  • Previous public incidents include being asked to leave a hotel pool and general social stigma that Barr says has fueled ongoing challenges.
