Teeny Weenie

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Because it's considered that Bigger Is Better in Bed, those men that have smaller genitalia are considered Acceptable Hard Luck Targets. This is almost always Played for Laughs, since Naked People Are Funny.

It is often implied that people with a small penis are Compensating for Something.

Despite women asserting that they really don't care about size, many men are absurdly concerned and insecure about how they measure up. It is one of the few body image tropes that is Always Male.

Possibly one of the reasons that Male Frontal Nudity is not common, since Most Writers Are Male. This is mostly a Take Our Word for It trope. Can be a part of a Humiliation Conga or Shameful Strip.

Inverse of Gag Penis. Contrast Bigger Is Better in Bed. Compare A-Cup Angst, which is similar in nature but almost Always Female(males do still have breasts).

No real life examples, please; this wiki is not a place to mock others for their real or perceived flaws.

Examples of Teeny Weenie include:

Anime and Manga

  • It is implied that Shinji has one in Neon Genesis Evangelion. He runs out of the bathroom completely naked, having been scared by Misato's pet penguin while in the bath.
