A man born without a penis claims he has slept with more than 100 women while keeping the secret from most of them.

Andrew Wardle, from Manchester, is the subject of an hour-long documentary on the TLC channel called the ‘Man with no Penis’.

He was born with a rare condition called bladder exstrophy which caused his bladder to grow outside his body. Doctors fixed the problem but Wardle never developed a penis.

The show follows the 40-year-old as he confesses his problem to unsuspecting ex-lovers and even his current girlfriend.

In the documentary, Mr Wardle explains how he kept the secret from his partners, saying he became an expert lover in other departments to cover up his lack of genitals.

“I knew my way around a woman’s body, I knew my way around their mind,” Wardle says in the show.

“I was very confident in bed of what I could do to them so they wouldn’t come near me and they were finished and I was fine.”

He said he also used drugs including ecstasy, amphetamines and LSD as an excuse for why he could not perform in bed.

Mr Wardle has been with his current girlfriend, 24-year-old Fedra Fabian from Hungary, for three years. He kept his secret from her by pretending he had a microchip in his kidney to fight off infections. She only found out the truth when he was interviewed by a TV talk show.

In the documentary, the couple talk frankly of how they considered splitting up over the problem. Mr Wardle also confesses to an attempted overdose after his last relationship ended, saying: “Suicide, it follows you all around… It’s like a door with the words ‘the way out’ on.”

The programme follows him as he undergoes medical procedures to reconstruct his missing member. He faces two-years of painful surgery using muscle tissue from his forearm to build a fully-functioning penis.
