Who Wears the Wrong Size Condom?
Thu Dec 2, 8:51 AM ET Reuters
BERLIN (Reuters) - Most German men wear condoms of the wrong size, a condom distributor said on Wednesday, after asking more than 2,500 men to measure their erect penis.
"People measure their feet when they buy shoes. Why shouldn't they measure their penises? A man would not wear children's shoes," said Jan Vinzenz Krause of Vinico, which released the study's findings on World AIDS (news - web sites) Day.
Most condom boxes in Germany indicated size but men, due to embarrassment or vanity, rarely checked or just bought those marked "extra large," he said.
Vinico's survey recommended various brands to be used -- depending on the endowment of the wearer.
The study found the average erect penis size was 14.7 cm (5-3/4 inches), with 40 percent of participants reporting lengths between 12 and 15 cm (4-3/4 and 5-7/8 inches).
When compared with the condoms normally used by the participants, the results showed only 18 percent wore the right size, with nearly half squeezing into condoms that were too small and 34 percent trying to use those that were too big.
LoL
Funny thread
How irresponsible! After all, they print the size right there at the bottom...oh wait. Most Germans never get to roll them down that far.
"What's white and ten inches long?.......nothing!"
You have obviously never seen one of John Holmes or my movies.
Your mail has been misdirected to El Paso Livestock Supply and they just haven't had the heart to tell you.
France has just invented the Odor Eating Condom.
Are French Men disappearing in large numbers?
That may be true, but a women's breasts are pretty easy to size up, real or enhanced.
On the other hand, not many guys know what size category they fall into, so of course they don't want to embarrass themselves by buying a package labeled small
By the time you are ready to use one, I don't think a smug fit is your biggest objective.!!!
Oh...centimeters. (I thought they meant inches.) So that's 5-3/4 inches?
Make mine XXL too.
Oops! I forgot. I never use the damn things.
"Mike Myers as the scotsman."
Didn't he play "Lothar of the hill people" on SNL?
One word : Girth
Shouldn't this be posted under "Breaking News"?
I'm reminded of an old chestnut from WW-II whereby the us was asked to provide a planeload of condoms for the russian soldiers (amongst other things). When the us asked what size, the russians replied "12 inches".
the us sent them - all marked "medium".
Only if they are made in Indonesia.
American made is a much safer bet.
No, I think a "smug fit" is exactly what guys are shooting for!
My wife worked for a local chain drug store and was covering a shift in another store. They were changing out the register for the shift change and my wife came out to set up her draw.
Unknown to her, our son had walked in to purchase condoms (he is an adult), he walked up to the register and plopped down his purchase, he looked up and saw his sweet mother staring him in the face.
I hear that Texas shop sends them free when you purchase a pair of Wonder Briefs.
LOL
Based on the article, no wonder German guys are so frustrated!!!
