The thread AJ hates

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many Indian men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, an Indian study has found.

The Indian Council of Medical Research, a leading state-run center, said its initial findings from a two-year study showed 60 percent of men in the financial capital Mumbai had penises about 2.4 cm (one inch) shorter than those condoms catered for.

For a further 30 percent, the difference was at least 5 cm (two inches). A poor fit meant the prophylactics often didn't do the job they were bought for, and led to some tearing or slipping off during use.

"One of the reasons for a failure of up to 20 percent (of condoms) is the association of the size of the condom to the erect #######," the council's Dr. Chander Puri told Reuters, adding another reason was couples often put them on in a hurry.

Puri said many men in India, which has the world's highest hiv positive caseload, were too shy to ask for condoms.

"We need more vending machines for condoms of different sizes so people can pick a condom with confidence that is suited to their needs," he said.

The Times of India reported the ICMR survey had studied 1,400 men between 18-50 years of age in cities like Mumbai and New Delhi as well as in rural areas in a report. It entitled its story "Indian men don't measure up."

For the condom apparently does.

####### sizes are like breast sizes...it's what you do with what you got. Men and women shouldn't feel inadequate as lovers because of size.

Yes, it does

Some women only reach orgasm from cunnilingus...no matter what the guy does with his rod.

That's like comparing melons and mini peeled carrots. Not analygous. Few women prefer puny penises.

I agree even an inch can make a huge difference.

Well, at least sex-toy sellers know where to unload their mini-dildos!

It is comparable because they both share the false notion that bigger is always better. How many people have divorced because they felt their lover's body was inadequate for satisfactory love-making? Compare that to how many relationships fall apart because the love making itself was not good? I suppose it's a matter of preference - do you want a lover with a perfect body or the perfect lover? As a man, I don't care about her breast size but I do care whether she is a good lover.

This is my husbands opinion - size doesn't matter - the only thing that matters is that the man feels satisfied.

I suppose if the guy had an abnormally small ####### then it might be a problem, but I seriously doubt the normal variations in length make any difference when it comes to satisfying their lovers.
