Condoms 'too big' for Indian men
By Damian Grammaticus
BBC News, Delhi
A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men. The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms. It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.The two-year study was carried out by the Indian Council of Medical Research.
Representative
Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre. The scientists even checked their sample was representative of India as a whole in terms of class, religion and urban and rural dwellers. The conclusion of all this scientific endeavour is that about 60% of Indian men have penises which are between three and five centimetres shorter than international standards used in condom manufacture. Doctor Chander Puri, a specialist in reproductive health at the Indian Council of Medical Research, told the BBC there was an obvious need in India for custom-made condoms, as most of those currently on sale are too large.
The issue is serious because about one in every five times a condom is used in India it either falls off or tears, an extremely high failure rate. And the country already has the highest number of HIV infections of any nation. Mr Puri said that since Indians would be embarrassed about going to a chemist to ask for smaller condoms there should be vending machines dispensing different sizes all around the country. "Smaller condoms are on sale in India. But there is a lack of awareness that different sizes are available. There is anxiety talking about the issue. And normally one feels shy to go to a chemist's shop and ask for a smaller size condom."
'Not a problem'
But Indian men need not be concerned about measuring up internationally according to Sunil Mehra, the former editor of the Indian version of the men's magazine Maxim.
"It's not size, it's what you do with it that matters," he said.
"From our population, the evidence is Indians are doing pretty well."
"With apologies to the poet Alexander Pope, you could say, for inches and centimetres, let fools contend."

but the white boy's spent millions of dollars to research how to get it bigger ... now they got all them pill's an different proceduers to make it grow artificially .. cause naturally they just like yall indian's ... so contact them .. make them share there products with you lot..
an to my middle eastern an african brother's out there ... i know u all are wishings that condoms were made that were actually bigger then u are ... cause its hard squeezin it through this small ass one's they got out there ..
an women always wonder why the middle eastern an african brothers love gettin blow job's .... its just cause we dnt wanna struggle tryin to fit into them small condom's ... and yea i know u can catch them disease's through a blowjob aswell .. but i guess the mind just allows itself to by-pass that thought ... u feel me
to the condom maker's out there stop making condoms according to the average size of the majority of the population out there .... dont u all know them chinnese indians an whites be more in number .. but smaller in stature ..... no wonder there is soo much fuckin AIDS in africa .. cause u mother fuckers make them condoms accordin to those sizes an nigga's just cant fit ...
