Time to pick up some Indian girls? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061208/od_nm/india_condoms_size_dc 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. ADVERTISEMENT 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 have to admit....I don't quite measure up to regular condoms as well. But I have the looks and money to make up for this windfall.... Okay I lied, I don't have wealth or good looks as well.....damn you god, you have blessed me with nothing. NOTHING. And this is why I don't feel sorry for poor people in third world countries....everyone's like, "help the needy," and I'm like, wait a minute, I'm needy too....how come no one helps me.

Don't worry, you just have to find the right (sized/preferenced) woman. The flip side of this coin can sometimes cause physical problems. Not always fun. Smaller = no physical pain.
This explains the Karma Sutra. Indian guys had to make up for their shortcomings. (I'm here all week)
hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a majority of americans dont measure up either. International size specifications for condoms range from 160-180 mm - which is 6.2"-7.1" but according to this study: So, drawing the same conclusions as the author does in the article above, Condoms designed to meet international size specifications are too big for many American men as their penises fall short of what manufacturers had anticipated, a Lifetsytles Condoms study has found.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't meet specs anywhere but Africa and the middle east (excluding syria, lebanon, jordan, palestine). The complaints are the other way around here. We don't have the same variety here, so some people make do with lighter/thinner condoms, and unfortunately others don't use them at all because of this. I'm afraid there's going to have to be an outbreak of some sort before they start taking it seriously. In all fairness, up to a certain size, you can make it work, but if it gets too tight you're murdering blood circulation which is what it's all about.
That's the reason you have to roll them on. They make them big enough to accomodate the majority, which falls somewhere within that range.
