[quote]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.
Over 1,200 volunteers from the length and breadth of the country had their penises measured precisely, down to the last millimetre.
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.
'Not a problem'
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."
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.

I would expect the blacks to complain first.
Oh wait Africa can't afford condoms, my bad.

Strongside, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in you're rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Every FP'er reading this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award a dumb rating, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Why are you posting your exact same post from another thread with just the name changed?

Yeah I realised that and was editing my post.

Indian men probably get more action than most of us, despite having small penises. :sigh:
One: all aboard the late train! This is old news.
Two: This isn't necessarily because Indian's have inherently small penises. It's because we all lie about the size of our dick. If it's 5.5" in reality then it magically becomes 6" when the question of size comes up in conversation. If it's 6" it becomes somewhere between 6.25" and 6.5".
We all exaggerate the size of our dick, and because the majority of the time the condom companies only have our word to go on as actual controlled measurements are rarely taken, and when they are the number of participants isn't very great (because, that's right, WE'VE ALL FUCKING EXAGGERATED AND ARE EMBARRASSED ABOUT ITS SIZE!) the size of condoms ends up being too large.

[QUOTE=faze;19275301]I changed my post, re-read it.[/QUOTE]
I changed the wording of my post so that the meaning became different.
I was saying it in a manner in which it seemed as if he was spamming the same message in various threads and changing the name only but after changing the wording around it's now simply asking why he simply copy and pasted a response he had made in a different thread and not implying there are various instances of it.
So why would I be looking for different instances of him posting the message?

Bullshit, I'm sure condom companies have taken exact measurements on the average penis size. Manufacturing is expensive and risky, they're not going to go on word of mouth to know what exactly they have to manufacture.
We shouldn't get [B][I]cocky.[/I][/B]
