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
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.
'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.
"With
apologies to the poet Alexander Pope, you could say, for inches and
centimetres, let fools contend."
Seriously, I am white canadian and i find that many think Indian men like to stick to their culture but I have learned a few things... They like to control and white women cant be controlled but white women are far more attractive then indian women. Indian women dont get to experience men and so they dont actually know this, but their dicks are small! small small small so they generally cant keep canadian women white women happy at all...
