Speak up, sir...You need the extra small condoms?

Fri Dec 8, 8:21 AM ET

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 penis," 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."

I figured I'd lighten up the mood this weekend. Apparently Indian penises are smaller than we thought and they were embarrassed to purchase the proper extra small condoms. I don't have any discomfort buying condoms, but I can see how it would be ackward having to buy or ask for extra small condoms from a cashier. Hopefully they'll fix the problem and cut back(no pun intended) on some of the HIV issues they're having.

Yeah, it's important they have one's that fit...

But, even for the average male penis in America, the condoms have tons of room left over, they could cut back a little...I don't know...

Who really has a banana sized penis anyways?

Imagine this with a heavy indian accent:

"Excuse me miss, could you hold still while I bother you with my tiny member for a few minutes. You wont feel a thing!"

Are the Indian vaginas typically smaller as well? Is this why they had to invent the Kuma Sutra techniques?
