There is one contest that 42-year-old actor Jonah Falcon would definitely lose. It is the Smallest Penis Contest to be held on June 20 at the King's County Bar in Brooklyn, New York.

It is because Mr Falcon holds the world record for the biggest penis - at more than 9 inches when flaccid and over 13 inches when erect.

In contrast, the Brooklyn contest is for the small guys who will compete in the contest patterned after beauty pageants, complete with evening wear and swimsuit as well as talent portions. The question and answer portion will focus on experience of the contestants that are below the belt.

For the swimsuit part, the contest organiser will give all contestants a standard-issue underwear which will be hosed down with water pistols to give the panel a chance to find out the size of their private parts. Nudity is optional.

Males with small sex organs who are aged 21 and above can join the unique contest. The winner will receive cash prize, a crown and the title Smallest Penis in Brooklyn. Men whose penises are over eight inches are not allowed to join the contest, and if they do and are discovered, they will be forced to buy a round for the judges.

Aimee Arciuolo, manager of the King's County Bar, the venue of the contest, said the pageant was an offshoot of her personal experience with a man who had a small penis but was a good performer in bed.

She narrated her story to some female friends who turned out to have similar encounters with the small kind, inspiring them to hold the contest to honour those kind of men who are proud of their members.

"Guys like that deserve a prize, and we should hold a goddam pageant for them! It should be celebrated, rather than a source of shame!" Gothamist quoted Ms Arciuolo.

She said the many straight men did not like the idea, while many women loved it.

Those who want to enlist could send an email to spb.brooklyn@gmail.com, while for those to watch the pageant, the address of the bar is at 286 Siegel Street, near the Morgan Avenue L train.

It is not the first contest for men with small penises.
