Never suffered from it, myself.
LoL.

There is actually a defined clinical state called "Small Penis Syndrome".

And for your information and entertainment, evidence that anxiety over the size of penis is both cross cultural and timeless;

Throughout history there have been a variety of references to penile enhancement. The Indian Sadhus and Peruvian Cholomecs used weights, similar to the Penile Tissue Expander, to attain increased lengths of 12 to 18 inches. Their penises were not usable; they were altered simply for the sake of aesthetics. The Dayaks of Borneo (Talalaj & Talalaj, 1994) mutilated their penises for their partner's pleasure. They would stick needles through their glans and leave them there until a hole had formed. The next step was to find items to stick in the holes that would stimulate his partner. The man with the most decorations was said to be the best lover and all the women then pursued him.

The Topinama of Brazil (Talalaj & Talalaj, 1994) in the sixteenth century would significantly enlarge their penis by encouraging poisonous snakes to bite their penis. They were in pain for approximately six months but the men felt the pain was worth the sacrifice. At the end of the six months the men had a monstrous sized penis that delighted their women.
