Yes, a Florida teenager has undergone what surgeons believe to be the first procedure to reduce the size of a penis, reports Medical Daily. But the 7-inch penis in question had a circumference of 10 inches prior to the surgery—due to a medical condition, not nature—and drew comparisons to a "grapefruit," an "American football," and a "rugby ball" in various accounts.

It seems the unidentified 17-year-old suffered from sickle cell disease that triggered priapism—painful erections that don't immediately subside—and three bouts of it since age 10 had left his penis not looking very penis-like.

"In other words," writes Lizette Borreli at Medical Daily, "his rugby ball-shaped member was too enlarged and disfigured for him to experience a normal erection and penetrate his partner—it just became firmer."
