Small-penis syndrome is an anxiety disorder where a man feels his penis size is too small. A typical concern of those suffering from small-penis syndrome is that they are unable to adequately please their sexual partners. Research studies conducted as recently as 2007 suggest that this is not the case, with 85 percent of women reporting that they are satisfied with the size of their partner's penis.WebMD: Small-Penis Syndrome Common (2007)
