22 year old in the USA

I was born with a severe hypospadias with the urethral meatus located midway between the scrotum and the tip of the penis. I underwent four operations as a child to repair the problem, and they seemed to work well for about twelve years. My penis was shaped normally, could achieve erection, and appeared "normal" when compared to others. But when I reached sexual maturity, the growth of my penis caused the surgically repaired skin near the base of my penis to tear, producing several fistulae, or holes, near the base of the penis. Although I had a "real" urethral opening at the tip of my penis, I also had several openings on the base. This caused me to leak but I was so embarrassed I never told anyone until I was seventeen years old, and had some surgery, which was only partially effective in curing the problem. My penis ended up with a hole at the tip from the first surgery and a series of holes where the opening was originally located. I avoided women because I believed they would think I was a freak.

Here is the good news. Around the age of nineteen I decided to forget about the problem and date women. I found that if a woman saw the surgical scars or holes on my penis, she was often more curious than anything else. When I explained that it was a rather common condition in male children, my partners didn’t usually care and we continued to make love. This was a good confidence booster for me. Now I am twenty two years old, in my second year of medical school, and while I still leak, I have worked out ways to urinate standing up without dripping on my clothes. My fiancée has accepted this problem gracefully, and we have wonderful sex together. I’d just add that while my penis is also five inches erect due to the hypospadias, my fiancée is more than pleased with my sexual performance. Hypospadias doesn't have to ruin one's confidence level and nor does a smaller penis!
